We’ve spent the last ten months building #CitizenBrowser, a project that aims to peek inside the Black Box of social media algorithms, by building a nationwide panel to share data with us. Today, we are publishing our first story from the project. /1
but collecting what they showed to users was a non-trivial problem. /6

I’ve been on the phone with colleagues about the hack all morning. None of us can figure out why #CISA chose this particular response to the breach. Couple of things struck us as curious.
The agencies targeted are not responding how you might expect...

Or, you could let us know when you figure out why it was trending yesterday and the users are complaining which is why Vice wrote about it. Why I'm saying what I am.
There's an assumption here that this problem is fixed bc it was already hacked.
It's not.
We have ppl freezing and dying in TX right now because some ppl who thought they were really smart never spoke to anyone with actual experience with energy systems in extreme cold climates.
Texans are waiting for a solution to a preventable problem.
Farmers are saying that now, not during a crisis, they have to wait for a JD tech to arrive to help them.
The assumption that bc SOME farmers said screw this and used hacked firmware to get around that obstacle doesn't mean that all farmers are doing that.
If all farmers were using hacked firmware we wouldn't be discussing this right now would we?
Of course no one has pointed out that another issue here is that no one at John Deere has figured out they don't have enough staff to quickly and reliably SOLVE problems.
The locked firmware is just one of many issues here.
By not giving people a fast solution they're causing this and other issues.
So what I'm saying is somebody at John Deere needs to examine all of this.

Let us know when you've found the supply chain hack that's already there
