So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.
It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

As I pointed out after the headline came out, the "research" was done by the "Campaign for Social Justice", a thinktank founded by Iain Duncan Smith, ex-Tory Leader.
Quite a shocking level of disinformation, I thought, & desreves wide publicity & debunking in the Press (which it won't get of course)
