1611018186962653193 | Oops! I did again, @washingtonpost: I created a Twitter account pretending to be @SenMarkey (with his permission) and applied for Blue “verification.” And once again, Twitter took my $8, asked zero questions and gave the fake account a blue checkmark. https://t.co/zD3k7JIX2P https://t.co/rih7idprkF | 6327 |

1324071345693454336 | Did you vote by mail or absentee in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin? You can make sure your vote counted by tracking your ballot online. Here’s how @washingtonpost: https://t.co/a07oYpLmeg | 549 |

1521910724758364160 | New @washingtonpost: Your phone could reveal if you’ve had an abortion. Internet searches & visits to clinics leave digital trails — and there’s already precedent for using them as evidence in a post-Roe America. @Tatum_Hunter_ & I spotlight the risks https://t.co/Ew2EY2czow | 197 |

1542173043744657410 | Not good: Google, Facebook and Tiktok all get sent personal info when patients use the Planned Parenthood website scheduling pages. It’s another reminder of how deep the hooks of surveilance capitalism reach. Big Tech treats your life as their property. https://t.co/S5TvSXVV0T | 108 |
1392507990628978689 | The government wants to pay your Internet bill. Seriously! $50 each month. Tens of millions are eligible—anyone who lost work last year, and more.

In a @washingtonpost test, I got imposter versions of the senator & comedian "verified" blue check marks (w/ their permission). All it took was $8 and a spare phone.
