Very thrilling read, and the last paragraph sent chills up through my back.
- yboris 6y agoLast paragraph copy/paste: "In May 2017, President Donald Trump made his first overseas visit, a trip to Riyadh. Not long after his arrival, the president toured King Salman’s new anti-terrorism center, which focused on tracking extremists on Twitter. Afterward, the president, his wife, the king, and Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt gathered around an illuminated orb at the center of the room and posed for a photo. Standing just outside the frame was the kingdom’s new social media specialist, Ali Alzabarah."
- hellofunk 6y agoSigh. I wondered if someone would come in here and do that. The entire reason I did not paste it myself is because this paragraph has a much different effect on the reader after they have read the rest of the article and understand the backstory. Edit: Thanks for all the upvotes. I'm glad some in the HN crowd appreciate quality over shortcuts and spoilers. (I was starting to get discouraged!)
