This seems counterproductive. The conflict is making more people aware of Russian snooping which will only push more non-secure users to use a secure messaging app.
Is there an equivalent of the Streisand effect for this situation?
Once upon a time Truecaller was a useful, simple phone spam app only needing access to your phone calls. These days Truecaller is a security abomination that constantly throws ads at you, requires access to everything on your phone and tries to replace your dialer and text messaging apps. It no longer has any redeemable value.
Zuckerberg says he is not familiar with Section 230 (the law that protects ISPs from liability for third-party content.) That would be like the CEO of SmithKline saying he doesnt know anything about pharmaceutical testing rules.
If his lawyers after all this time never briefed him on Section 230, he is either lying, willfully ignorant, or being poorly served by his legal team.

I got the flu soon after a medical test at a doctor's office building. This is not a surprise as sick people were coming and going all day long. What surprised me after the fact was the lack of basic measures to stop the spread of disease at a medical facility.
The local Walmart has a plastic tub with wet wipes near the grocery baskets. This seems like common sense to reduce the chance of spreading germs especially in places where lots of people are congregating. But I don't see something similar at the entrances/exits of other high trafficked facilities. It seems they would easily pay for themselves in a reduced infection rate.

Good luck proving it was this microwave generator and not the thousands of other possible causes.
Won't happen. The Chinese now control the South China Sea which means the US will want to keep its options available.
Can Facebook prove it does not create profiles of non-Facebook users?
China has shot far ahead of the US on deep-learning patents

Other than being too lazy to switch to an email only provider that doesn't treat you as the product.
If Apple wins they win. If Apple loses they've beat down the winner so much that the next repair show may think twice.
Criminal prosecutors do the same thing since the consequences of losing are trivial.

Who could have seen this coming, besides anyone who gave it a moment’s thought?
The new federal legislation that closed down Backpage.com "is creating an actual market for pimps."
WaPo reports on the unintended consequences of the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act.
According to The Guardian, the site allowed sex workers to screen potential online clients before meeting them in person. It was a simple layer of safety without resorting to pimps for protection. These deals, that were once handled online, will now be pushed back into the open streets, leaving women on their own to protect.
The Internet disintermediates. Take away the Internet, and you get re-intermediation.
That would be Obama in 2012. His team used FB similar to Trump's team but it was called a genius move.
And FB was in the pocket of Hillary's team

What if all the FLA residents and FLA governments(state and local) agreed to use DST or AST year round. Seems like a 1st amendment issue.

T-Mobile isn't going to want this anywhere near a jury.
Every state government ought to have a group whose sole purpose in to investigate and prosecute suspected crimes by local police.
We also need to outlaw qualified immunity.
