So they restricted the FBITexas account based on my reporting on Twitter, but not sure why it took a few more weeks to actually kill the account.

Pretty sure impersonating the Federal Bureau of Investigation falls under impersonating an officer, which is a felony...

Looking at the backlogs of attention that account got in terms of being tweeted at, sometimes along with the real account of the FBI -- I just really hope nothing shady happened in DMs. ☹️

Winston Note: Don't read unless you have a strong stomach.

We must quit thinking we know everything, and quit placing "knowledge" over kindness and compassion.

― Bryant McGill, Voice of Reason

At times, there are infosec articles that, when you read them, just makes you think of Garth Marenghi trying desperately hard to look like he deserves to be taken seriously while slow running in a dimly lit room with papers flying around.

On either side of a potentially violent conflict, an opportunity exists to exercise compassion and diminish fear based on recognition of each other's humanity.

Without such recognition, fear fueled by uninformed assumptions, cultural prejudice, desperation to meet basic human needs, or the panicked uncertainty of the moment explodes into violence.
