Today's Story Highlights

Twitter's New Safety Rules: Hot Diggity or Hot Air?
Twitter has announced actions to further protect users of its network --
but it left them vague. The company is rolling out unspecified
improvements to its reporting process for content issues including
impersonation, self-harm, and the sharing of private and confidential
information, aka "doxing." It's also beginning to add new enforcement
actions for use against accounts that violate its rules.

Monster Problem Threatens New US Cyberthreat Plan
President Barack Obama last week made good on his promise to establish a
center for cybersecurity information gathered by agencies of the federal
government. It's a laudable initiative -- if it works. The Cyber Threat
Intelligence Integration Center will connect the dots regarding
malicious foreign cyberthreats to the nation and cyberincidents
affecting U.S. national interests.

The Open Source Squad at the GSA
18F, a development unit within the General Services Administration, was
established a year ago to tap into the success of the United Kingdom's
Government Digital Services unit by pursuing a similar strategy. The
unit is tasked with getting developers from Silicon Valley and the ranks
of civic developers all over the country to change how federal
technology gets done.

Samsung's New S6 Line Atones for S5's Plastic Sins
Samsung on Monday announced its much-anticipated Galaxy S6 line at the
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. In the S6, the strongly
disliked plastic body of the Galaxy S5 is replaced with a combination of
aluminum and Gorilla Glass. The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge both come in
white, black and gold. Blue will be available only for the S6, while
green will be available only for the S6 edge.
