Ich las diese Kolumne und fragte mich, wie man dieses Vorgehen wohl nennt. Ist das ein "Red Herring"?
Zusammengefasst: Was nützt die Abkehr von Microsoft in der Verwaltung, wenn der Souverän seine Daten überall verschleudert?

You may have come across the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument as a response to concerns about digital mass surveillance. It's a red herring; the real argument is about who gets to choose what to share.

This was written as a complement to @thenewoil recent blog post about the I-have-nothing-to-hide argument. You can read that here:

„Wes Streeting released WhatsApp messages with Peter Mandelson in a bid to downplay their relationship, writing to the then-ambassador and former friend of Jeffrey Epstein that Israel is behaving like a 'rogue state' and calling for stronger sanctions against it last summer.“

Zoiets moet een keer naar buiten gebracht worden, dus wanneer doe je dat? Op de avond van de verkiezingsuitslagen. De ultieme #redherring. Van elke vier woorden die de #BBB spreekt zijn er vijf gelogen.

Het was een stuk #roodvlees, en het ergste is nog wel dat alle media er weer ingestonken zijn. Terwijl idereen de discussie over #havermelk en #kokosmelk nog vers in het geheugen heeft. Leren journalisten niet wat een #redherring is?

"Why Doesn't Hamas Release The Hostages?", And Other Reader Questions (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-08-22)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/why-doesnt-hamas-release-the-hostages
———>> … Netanyahu has explicitly said that Israel’s attack will not end until Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan to permanently remove all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip has been accomplished. This is not about freeing hostages, this is about a land grab that Israel has been pursuing for generations.
>> It is of course true that the Israeli government doesn’t care about the hostages, but it’s not accurate to say the hostages aren’t a bargaining chip. Some 2.5 million Israelis are estimated to have filled the streets this past Sunday demanding that their government secure a deal to release the hostages — that’s a quarter of the nation’s population. Numbers like that amount to political pressure, even if the Netanyahu regime itself only cares about the land grab…

@vosje62 herken de #redherring. De laatste ophef over kokosmelk die geen melk mocht heten? Dat was het moment dat de miljarden voor de agribusiness veilig gesteld werden.

Just spent hours debugging what looked like an OpenTelemetry context detach error in my ADK + MCP setup. Went down rabbit holes trying to fix async redherring, cancel scopes, and tracing configs.
Plot twist: It was just a self-signed SSL cert on our staging server 🤦♂️
The real issue was buried 50 lines deep in the logs. Sometimes the loudest error isn't the root cause - it's just a symptom.

Vor dem 2. Durchgang beim #Rechbergrennen eine Werbeeinschaltung. Die offiziellen Fahrzeuge werden klimaneutral mit #eFuels betrieben. Der Repräsentant der Sponsor-Firma protzt mit über 99% CO2 Einsparung. Es ist alles auf Schiene, zur breiten Verwendung muss das jetzt nur mehr noch ein wenig hochskaliert werden, um klimafreundlich Auto fahren zu können.
... Aaaahja...

Het vorige #stikstofdebat heeft de #bbb onklaar gemaakt door een propagandafilmpje over een rekenkundige ondergrens bij elkaar te fabuleren en de dag na het fiasco de #redherring over abortus te gooien. De aandacht voor het volgende debat over #stikstof hebben ze afgeleid met #wolvengehuil maar om het af te maken brengen ze Ronald Meesters en Geesje Rotgers in stelling.

@xs4me2 Maybe if she ignores all the red herrings by saying “this is a red herring” and focus on what really matters and what Trump and the GOP really want and what the effects will be she might make a lot of Trumpers go “never thought of that”. Turn a weakness into a strength, a case of flip-thinking (Omdenken).

@DemocracyMattersALot I think this is a big red herring, ignore it.
Try to focus on policies and what really matters.

Apparently herring are not red, the common term "red herring" comes from smoked herring in the UK:

Occam's Knife Game:
People who are in deep denial about what they nonetheless know to be the truth will offer up every explanation they can imagine except the correct one in an effort to sustain their denial. You can tell they understand the truth of the matter, because of how carefully and completely they avoid it.

@fedwards9965 @KathyLK @somekindahate3 @mondoweiss @palestine @israel
This guy introduced Chile as a #redherring and when that didn't go the way he thought then it's suddenly personal attacks without ever even offering a cogent criticism of the theory itself.
-
@fedwards9965 @KathyLK @somekindahate3 @mondoweiss @palestine @israel well, the DPT works between states with elections -- so I'm baffled. Why are you introducing Chile into this?
Seems like a #redherring
We're both Chile and Brazil democracies at the time?

#Ramaswamy is a piece of shit. Full stop. #Clergy members are not forced to #officiate #weddings they oppose. That's just a flat-out #lie. And someone's #sexualOrientation, or #genderIdentity isn't an "#ideology". It's a biological fact. #Children cannot be #indoctrinated into being #gay, or #trans. All his so-called complaints amount to a #redHerring based on intentional #falsehoods. Nobody this #dishonest should ever be elected #president.

As @aljazeera reports, "The #EU's foreign policy chief [Josep #Borrel] has called for a crackdown of #Russian #oil into #Europe as refined #fuel, including #diesel."
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/5/16/eu-to-curb-indian-fuel-imports-made-with-russian-oil-report
While this move is most likely overdue, the question is, might this also be a #RedHerring (1) strategy?
Why only "refined"?
Why the focus on #India?IMO, the issue with #NATO partner, #Turkey's re-exports of #Russian #oil and #gas is much larger,...

I title my journals based on changing themes. They provide the cornerstone for the mise en scène of my writing. A month into a new book and I’ve got nothing. So, I’m trying to define the device. Is it a #fetish, a #muse, a #MacGuffin, a #redHerring, a #philosophersStone, a #huntingBlind, an #f(x)? What device do you use to better observe the ineffable? As a quasi “throw away,” what duty have we to identify with it, serve it, thank it, or let it go? #writersBlock #themeBlock #commodification

Rule #1 of counterdisinfo: DON'T PICK UP THE IDIOT BALL.
That means, when the #GQP is rolling out one of their endless disgusting psyop nothingburgers, don't amplify it in the process of critiquing it.
Don't fall for the false equivalency. If you hear yourself saying: "Well, yeah we really should find out why Biden had those classified documents." Or "You know we really should, at long last, get control of our borders, this can't continue."
What you're doing is validating shit that has nothing to do with reality. It's ALL red herrings.
Not even the most batshit republicans are remotely concerned about the contents of their #idiotballs.
(Because they're all pure power plays.)
They're designed to confuse and deflect.

Even if #cryptocurrencies used 2% it would be fine as it solves a #wickedProblem.Estimates we see are 0.5% and its mostly #renewable, #strandedEnergy and flared stuff that would go to waste otherwise. Also in winter some use it for #heating a small room, and even food prep, eg. #fermentation etc.
The whole energy use alarmism is a #redHerring, and a corporateState #rhetoric.

The #tabs change in #Firefox though clumsily wide, especially on a #laptop can be mitigated with this fancy footwork, for now at least.We think #CompactMode ought be the default – not deprecated.
It's all a bit of a #redHerring, though.
We examined whether #WorkOffline mode is added to about:config — it hasn't. Thus it seems #Mozilla have completely decimated the #OfflineMode asfaras we can see.
'Work Offline' mode saves #batteryDrain, and limits #surveillance…

The #wealthy in London have been working overtime to redefine #WhatBrexitActuallyMeans. The whole #chlorinatedChicken, #US food debacle, and #NHS #fearMongering are a #redHerring and #falseChoice.Farage wasn't supposed to win. He stepped down to allow the #BBC to ask on a daily basis, "but what does Brexit actually mean?" Its not about chicken. It was about lowering immigration to sensible numbers. #Britons are being misdirected.
#UKIP or #BrexitParty may be more genuine but unsure.
