Recently, doxing of IMT has become a tool to suppress vocal Muslim voices, with rival Sanghis doxing those who hold opposing views. Doxers aim to escalate their conflict with targets from online to the real world, by revealing personal information which includes:1/n

1. Home addresses
2. Workplace details
3. Personal phone numbers
4. Social security numbers
5. Bank account or credit card information
6. Private correspondence
7. Criminal history
8. Personal photos
9. Embarrassing personal details 2/n
Suspension methods used

1. Dig up old tweets to see clues
2. Mark tweets which violate twitter terms and mass report
3. Agent provocateur - Use of trolls to incite to say something that violates twitter policy. 3/n
Doxing methods used:

1. Usage of twitter archive to keep track of a target account. It saves even deleted tweets. After the identity is known, the archived tweets (even if you deleted them) are used to report to goverment, police, employer etc 4/n
2. Social Engineering; Social Engineering is a manipulation technique that exploits human error or friendliness to gain private information. An agent acts as friendly and then lures the unsuspecting person into exposing their own data or their data from someone else. 5/n
a. Send hacking links from fake profile on Direct Message or gaining trust of target using friendly profile. These links look normal but they reveal your location, your device, your mobile provider etc. 6/n
b. Infiltrate IMT groups and social engineer personal info. Get friendly with some accounts & coax them to reveal info about others. 7/n
3. There is a dedicated study team. They try to make a picture of the target person analyzing all kind of data gathered.
a. Analyze old tweets & old personal connections. Talk to the old connections. If needed study the old connections. 8/n
b. Analyze first follows & tweets & likes & @username change history.
c. Analyze Regional news followed, food preferences mentioned, username etc 9/n
d. Analyze posts:
eg; if any screenshots shared, analyze it to know timezone, carrier provider, mobile operating system (android which version, ios which version), analyze pictures clicked and uploaded for metadata. Sometimes posts share your location automatically. 10/n
e. Match target profile personality with other social media profiles personalities
eg: matching bio, @userame, fav movie, fav food, fav colour, political party, writing style, posts written etc on real profile and fake profile, across different platforms (twitter, fb, insta) 11/n
Remedies & NECESSARY precautions

DOs:

1. Imagine a parallel identity - Whose personna is very different than your own 12/n
a. Make your personna with complex detail, personal choices, location & writing style. Therapists say- If you imagine something, your brain doesnt distinguish between real & fake. If you can fool your brain, you can fool others 13/n
b. Deleting previous personal identity tweets doest work! Theres traces remain. Even if you talked with people you personally knew - your replies and messaging exists on twitter - these can be tracked even if you change @userame and everything. 14/n
c. What? Did you say 'Messaging is private'? You have no idea about sanghi twitter infiltration 15/n
2. Have a unique email/password and @username+bio which you havn't EVER USED BEFORE on same platform (twitter) or even other platforms (fb, insta). 16/n
3. use https://t.co/JYFGL7h9jR for email - your general email/password combination you have always used on websites are hacked from a website and available freely on internet with basic hacking tools. 17/n
4. Talk, speak, breath like your personna. Follow news/accounts which match according to the imagined personna.
If you are Bengali & your personna is Tamil - Behave like a Tamil. 18/n
Don't follow Bengali politicians, news, food recipes, activists etc. Dont like any bengali tweet. Translate tamil and like some tamil tweets. 19/n
Add appropriate security settings:
- Turn off location shared with posts
- Check the apps you have given permission to. Remove the ones not actively used. Re-consider if you really have to use the others.
- Doublecheck before uploading images 20/n
DON'T DOs:

1. DON'T - Never share personal info with anyone or poison pilled them.

If you really really have to. Make sure you have
a) met the person personally &
b) align with them ideologically & religiously. 21/n
Never share your info with non muslims. One tweet someday on an ethical value - that doesn't align with them and they will dump you. This will happen in future, even if you think it's not happening today. 22/n
2. DON'T - Never explicitly/directly speak illegal things.
You can always be indirect. It can help against suspension and explaining differently if your identity is exposed. Explicit boldness will get you suspended. 23/n
Explicit boldness will get you suspended. But it's needed. For explicit boldness, you need a 'shahadah' profile, where you speak without restriction until you are 'suspended'. 24/n
Remember -
you need same level of anonymity for shahadah profile
it needs to be on different device and preferrably different network/vpn etc. 25/n
3. DON'T - Never become over friendly and expose private info.
Your identity is the common identity of the group you belong to. You are working for social cause. 26/n
Personal identities are not important. What is important is to work on common cause - even with strangers - even if those strangers are potentially fakes and intruders. 27/n
As long as the strangers are supporting the cause - you work with them - A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S.L.Y. Never become over friendly and expose private info 28/n
4. DON'T - Never click links on private message
if you have to click, then download a vpn app, activate it - and then click 29/n
5. DONT - Never mix your personality into the profile
Describing your favourite movies, colour, dress, festival, dialogue, profession, event, family size, education, marital status, delicacy, aspirations, talking style, etc.. n/n

global health policy in 2020 has centered around NPI's (non-pharmaceutical interventions) like distancing, masks, school closures

these have been sold as a way to stop infection as though this were science.

this was never true and that fact was known and knowable.

let's look.


above is the plot of social restriction and NPI vs total death per million. there is 0 R2. this means that the variables play no role in explaining one another.

we can see this same relationship between NPI and all cause deaths.

this is devastating to the case for NPI.


clearly, correlation is not proof of causality, but a total lack of correlation IS proof that there was no material causality.

barring massive and implausible coincidence, it's essentially impossible to cause something and not correlate to it, especially 51 times.

this would seem to pose some very serious questions for those claiming that lockdowns work, those basing policy upon them, and those claiming this is the side of science.

there is no science here nor any data. this is the febrile imaginings of discredited modelers.

this has been clear and obvious from all over the world since the beginning and had been proven so clearly by may that it's hard to imagine anyone who is actually conversant with the data still believing in these responses.

everyone got the same R
Patriotism is an interesting concept in that it’s excepted to mean something positive to all of us and certainly seen as a morally marketable trait that can fit into any definition you want for it.+


Tolstoy, found it both stupid and immoral. It is stupid because every patriot holds his own country to be the best, which obviously negates all other countries.+

It is immoral because it enjoins us to promote our country’s interests at the expense of all other countries, employing any means, including war. It is thus at odds with the most basic rule of morality, which tells us not to do to others what we would not want them to do to us+

My sincere belief is that patriotism of a personal nature, which does not impede on personal and physical liberties of any other, is not only welcome but perhaps somewhat needed.

But isn’t adherence to a more humane code of life much better than nationalistic patriotism?+

Göring said, “people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”+
