"Governments [are] figuring out how they can criminalize journalism based on large-scale digital leaks," Greenwald told me. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-cybersecurity-202/2020/01/22/the-cybersecurity-202-glenn-greenwald-says-brazil-charges-are-part-of-a-global-trend-to-criminalize-journalism/5e272989602ff14e66056868/ -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20200122191256.GA20129@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:12:56 +0000 From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: Moore, Trump must answer for workers -- Dave Gorak (Opinion) U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, was absolutely right in her Jan. 14 guest column that President Donald Trump has a lot to answer for in Milwaukee, where he was about to visit. During his first campaign, President Trump promised to create an immigration policy that puts the interests of America first. So far, unfortunately, he has remained silent while companies such as AT&T continue to fire American workers and replace them with foreigners whose education and skill levels are at best equal to those of Americans. This has nothing to do with needing the "best and the brightest" from overseas to fill high-tech jobs but everything to do with importing the cheapest workers possible. https://madison.com/opinion/letters/moore-trump-must-answer-for-workers----dave/article_a67e9ac8-cb1e-52b2-b3da-941e0a267c81.html -- Bill Horne Telecom Digest Moderator ------------------------------ Message-ID: <0050B9A5-8469-4ED5-9C44-9217CA347387@roscom.com> Date: 22 Jan 2020 23:10:42 -0500 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: Seattle-Area Voters To Vote By Smartphone In 1st For U.S. Elections A district encompassing Greater Seattle is set to become the first in which every voter can cast a ballot using a smartphone - a historic moment for American democracy.
