"The German election campaign has become a magnet for fake news and AI-generated propaganda as foreign actors seek to boost the right wing. The attacks are becoming more sophisticated, and are no longer coming just from Russia, but from the U.S. as well."

Musk’s social media platform X fuels disinformation, hate, and political interference. How long can his ‘free speech’ hypocrisy go unchecked?

Meta says it is working quickly to resolve the problem, which has prompted accusations of bias on social media.

"The chaos of #Russia in the 90s is the template; billions will be made, people will die, crimes will be committed...

We’re all wading through the #information sewers. #Trump is a bacillus but the problem is the pipes. We can and must fix this."

That's just shocking disinformation that makes you look highly unreliable and not serious.
You can brag about your OS without inventing bad points to others.That'd bring higher trust in you

E/OS/ is quite excellent with its patches and security checks, and the issue comes from Revolut not making it easy to os relying on MicroG.

If only this were true! … We can now speak #truth, right here, there, and everywhere! Without fear of #TrumpVirus retribution?

Nah… just kidding. This (link to article below) is what Trump actually did, his “focus”, and priorities being in celebrating Sir #TrumpVIrus & his #cult of #disinformation #media following of #Jan6 #felons & #truth deniers.

I recommend Carole Cadwalladr's Substack essay "Total information collapse" today. As with everything she writes, it's incisive, richly thoughtful, and disturbing (in the best way possible). Hard to choose passages to excerpt in an essay so dense. Here's a taste:

"We are so ill-equipped to face the coming threat."

If you're wondering how the other social platforms are going... Awash in disinformation. I am thankful I never saw anything like that here, congrats Masto-people-onians or Fedidenizens....

(claim that Oregon couldn't send firefighters to California because of not passing smog tests, folks 🙄 )

#disinformation #wildfires
We want to clear up confusion about our Oregon firefighters and equipment sent to California to help with the wildfires. There is misinformation spreading on social media and from some news outlets claiming our equipment had to pass emissions tests and our equipment and firefighters were turned away or delayed. TO BE CLEAR: THIS IS FALSE. Our firefighters left Oregon mid-morning on Wednesday (1/8) from various locations in the state. These strike teams traveled to Sacramento where they stayed the night. On Thursday (1/9) at 6 a.m., they went through a routine safety check with CAL Fire to make sure the engines are mechanically sound. CAL Fire posted on their social media channels detailing the process. Our strike teams were scheduled to arrive in Southern California on Thursday. There was no delay in the process or travel. Our equipment is held to the highest safety standard to ensure the safety of our firefighters. This equipment also does not regularly travel hundreds of miles at a time. Firefighter safety is our number one priority. No engine was turned away. They all competed the safety check, and all 15 strike teams arrived in Southern California on Thursday and began their 24-hour shift early Friday morning. Please help us share this message. If you see any misinformation, please direct people to this post. We thank you for your support. If you have questions, please reach out to us at ask.osfm@osfm.oregon.gov. .'&z} ; @) LA (VRIS 1l 129K it ';\; Post your reply

"An entire #liberals cottage industry of #factchecking #Trump... on news and #socialmedia... removing Trump from major social media platforms, did not diminish his support nor expunge dangerous #disinformation from the echo chambers primed to receive and propagate it.

The end of the #factcheck era ...is worth examining because of how it heralds another liberal failure... just another capitulation in the battle against #fascism.

"The extensive overlap between the aims of the anti-democratic elites, including business leaders and the military, and those of the Nazis, ensured that however the great the distaste of elites for the violence of the Nazis, they were willing to go along with their destruction of democracy.”

“What brought Hitler to supreme power within a few months of being appointed Reich Chancellor was a combination of murderous political violence whose ruthlessness was beyond anything imagined by the world of conventional politics in Germany, and a propaganda offensive that violated every standard of truthfulness and decency."

🧵 The #LAFires are the REAL story of "Landman," one that #BigOil sellouts and propagandists #BillyBobThornton, #JohnHamm and #TaylorSheridan won't touch with a ten foot pole.

Is #Landman compelling television. Sure (though it's already getting a little stupid). Is it also thinly veiled, ham-fisted #BigOil -servicing, anti- #EnergyTransition, #Climate-worsening #Disinformation & even outright #Propaganda? Without a doubt. By every definition of the word.

What Does It Mean to Be a
Critical Thinker? https://www.thecollector.com/what-does-mean-be-critical-thinker/ #education #culture #News #fascism #disinformation #psychology #media #x
1) Is the source an expert on the topic they are speaking about; what general qualifications make them credible? 2) Does that fall within their specific field of specialty, and have they been there for enough time? 3) Is there any possibility for bias and motivated reasoning that would lower confidence in their opinion? 4) Is the source trustworthy; have they ever lied in the past? 5) Are the source's views consistent with what other relevantly authoritative sources say about the same topic? 6) Is the evidence presented good; can we verify it?

What Does It Mean to Be a Critical Thinker?

What are the fundamental concepts of being a “critical thinker”? This article will provide an overview of the answer.
