Not only have tweets become news, they've become evidence of crimes. Law enforcement and newsgathering both have been reduced to searching for 140-character wisecracks and following the wisecrackers.
Why would a serious person, especially a security researcher, write a tweet except to manipulate the press or law enforcement?
How about a little white-hat opsec and infosec?
- ikeboy 11y ago1. The tweet wasn't news, his arrest was news 2. The tweet wasn't evidence for a crime, it was evidence that a warrant was justified, and other evidence included a supposed admission to the FBI.
