Bon, net terug na 12 uur verbanning op Twitter. Mijn ellenlang exposé over Huawei is gerapporteerd door iemand die er niet bepaald blij mee was.
Speciaal daarom volgt binnenkort nóg een draadje met bewijzen van platform-manipulatie door Huawei Europe. 😎

Facing pressure from the Turkish government, Facebook agreed to block posts of a mostly Kurdish militia rather than risk being shut down in the country. "I am fine with this," Sheryl Sandberg said in one of the emails obtained by @propublica.

A privilege of working at NYT is to be a colleague of @CadeMetz - as diligent, thorough and fair a reporter as you will find. This important story about a certain Silicon Valley worldview demonstrates that, despite the immense abuse he took reporting it.
