Wer nicht weiß worum's geht:

Mittlerweile sieht es tatsächlich so aus als stehe die bewaffnete Hausdurchsuchung auf rechtlich wackligen Füßen, was einen skandalösen Einschüchterungsversuch der Staastgewalt in Florida (hallo, Republikaner!) immer wahrscheinlicher macht:

On Tuesday, Florida state police entered the home of Rebekah Jones with guns drawn, seizing her computer and phone, in an attempt to prove that she’d sent an unauthorized “group text” through “a Department of Health messaging system” that is “to be used for emergencies only,” according to authorities.

There are now two reasons why that’s significant. First, Jones isn’t just any former Florida Department of Health employee: she’s the whistleblower who built Florida’s once-celebrated COVID-19 tracking dashboard, then accused her bosses of ordering her to manipulate Florida’s data to justify reopening the state.

Second, it’s now come to our attention that the supposedly private messaging system that Jones might have accessed might have effectively just been an email address — an email address that the Florida Department of Health may have inadvertently published for anyone to see on the open web.


Mittlerweile ist ein auch Staatsanwalt aus Protest zurückgetreten:

On Wednesday, a Republican attorney appointed by Florida governor Ron DeSantis resigned in protest over the raid on Jones’ house, calling it 'unconscionable'.

"You don’t send 12 armed officers to raid her computer for doing that. That’s Gestapo. That’s authoritarian dictator tactics. That’s not America. It really viscerally bothered me," he told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
