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

We finally have the U.S. Citizenship Act Bill Text! I'm going to go through some portions of the bill right now and highlight some of the major changes and improvements that it would make to our immigration system.

Thread:


First the Bill makes a series of promises changes to the way we talk about immigrants and immigration law.

Gone would be the term "alien" and in its place is "noncitizen."

Also gone would be the term "alienage," replaced with "noncitizenship."


Now we get to the "earned path to citizenship" for all undocumented immigrants present in the United States on January 1, 2021.

Under this bill, anyone who satisfies the eligibility criteria for a new "lawful prospective immigrant status" can come out of the shadows.


So, what are the eligibility criteria for becoming a "lawful prospective immigrant status"? Those are in a new INA 245G and include:

- Payment of the appropriate fees
- Continuous presence after January 1, 2021
- Not having certain criminal record (but there's a waiver)


After a person has been in "lawful prospective immigrant status" for at least 5 years, they can apply for a green card, so long as they still pass background checks and have paid back any taxes they are required to do so by law.

However! Some groups don't have to wait 5 years.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
