WTF, that’s your takeaway? She was one of the few voices warning us about security risks from the inside. Her point is that social media has one weapon: the streisand effect… But when instead there is silence then it is known there will be no accountability. The government will be emboldened by this. It wasn’t a metaphor, she thinks they will really kill her now if she tweets more, and less people like her will be willing to post in the future.
PWAs are great. Half the apps in app stores are just packaged browsers, we should take away the need for that bloat…using the engine of your choice would be a bonus. Plus they create the option of skipping app stores entirely, which is another step away from the Google/Apple oligopoly.
