Yesterday's anti-science bingo. Started with a discussion with a herbalist who admitted that she didn't know much about it, but that "the body says when it doesn't like something", "and 90% of illnesses are psychological, like covid", "I'm not vaccinated", "and now they're selling us an asymptomatic heatwave, the weather's fine, where do you see the heatwave?".

What do we do when false certainties are more reassuring than facts?

@MarieVC My thoughts are having greater regulations to prevent #misinformation/conspiracytheories/ #fakenews getting out there in the first place. Certain countries also teach children in schools how to apply #criticalthinking which has been shown to be effective.
...As it's much harder to put the genie back in the bottle once it's out there 2/2.

lrreynolds,

@CJPaloma @Dahlialith major media outlets are largely compromised. Not only are they owned/controlled by the very billionaires who want corrupt puppets in power but the Russians and Chinese have been systematically infiltrating these pillars of influence with purveyors of and as a way of undermining our democracy. Which is the ONLY way they can prevail…

@bsi Das Problem ist ja dass jene Werkzeuge fast immer #Müll ausspucken UND zugleich wir mangelnde #TechLiteracy & #MediaLiteracy in der deutschen Gesellschaft haben.

Dementsprechend ist jene Technik die es trivialisiert #FakeNews to generieren unverantwortlicher als Jugendlichen ne durchgeladene und aufmunitionierte Maschinenpistole zu schenken!

Washington Times says its article about new #Barbie dolls being plastic-free "was based on an elaborate media hoax involving spoofed email addresses, a faked press release, doctored images, fictitious quotations and a YouTube video that appears to show actress Daryl Hannah announcing the new product line." https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/aug/1/washington-times-editors-note/

I’m here with a horde of other journalists because we’re hoping that the magistrate judge will read Trump’s name or initials—DT or DJT—if an indictment is handed down.

But it’s all of this could occur behind closed doors in the judge’s chambers…and she just left the bench.

g,

@nf3xn The first link points to statements like "the soldiers were unable to tell their psychologist, who specialises in troubled young men, what had happened to them while they were captured" and "I knew from previous cases they had probably been tortured". Unfortunately, those are only claims, no evidence.

The second link points to a hit list with just one item: "United States Deportation Policies Expose Salvadorans to Death and Abuse" -- nothing about Ukraine.

False and misleading posts about the Ukraine conflict continue to go viral on major social media platforms, as Russia's invasion of the country extends beyond 500 days.

Some of the most widely shared examples can be found on Twitter, posted by subscribers with a blue tick, who pay for their content to be promoted to other users.

I don’t usually gift breaking news articles before the context and analysis are added. But holy moly, a preliminary injunction against Biden officials communicating with the social media companies. https://wapo.st/44snxyc

gordonwhite1,

@JosephMenn So it’s okay to yell fire in the theater when there isn’t one and cause people to die when they are trampled at the exits? Social media speech that lies about disasters, when and where to evacuate from wildfires, hurricanes and earthquakes is just A-Okay. Emergency Man comms need to be done by those in charge of managing the disaster. Vulnerable communities are at risk when social media is used against them.

Oh yeah - #aspartame causes #cancer ... again ... This myth has been going around for decades. Recently with #IARC move to classify it as "probable carcinogen for humans" it's an ultimate reckoning with the skeptics and a final proof that they have been right all along. After all, the International Agency for Research on Cancer is gotta be right, right? And the media are happily spreading the news for some clickbait. Only one problem - it's probably complete BS ...

This event shows time and again, that even the world institutions that are supposed to be impartial are plagued by activism, wishful thinking and ideology. As this linked article outlines, the importance of multiple source corroboration, critical thinking and scientific objectivity and taking media clickbaits with a grain of salt is more important than ever ... So, no, I'm not stopping drinking Zero Coke ...

Ukraine: No, a video does not prove the Russian airstrike on a cathedral in Odesa was staged.

Multiple social media accounts falsely argue the attack is fake because a woman in the video can be seen picking up the debris with a little too much ease.

A better quality video shows the woman holding a material made up of small white bubbles resembling polystyrene.

"False claims that heatwave is bogus spread online"

I'm not SAYING antivaxxers should go outside without drinking water to prove there's no heatwave. That would be very irresponsible of me.

However, it is important to note that that would be VERY funny.

#Brasil #BigTech #Google #Meta #Lobbying #FakeNews: "O Google e a Meta - controladora do Facebook, Whatsapp e Instagram – lideraram uma operação de pressão e lobby para derrubar o Projeto de Lei 2630, o PL das Fake News, da pauta do Congresso brasileiro. Ao longo de 14 dias, as empresas e outras big techs atuaram fortemente para deputados se posicionarem contra a proposta, com ameaças de retirar conteúdo das redes sociais e disseminação de uma campanha de ataques às contas deles na internet.

Um monitoramento do Estadão revelou que a pressão das empresas fez com que pelo menos 33 deputados mudassem de posicionamento entre a aprovação do requerimento de urgência, dia 19 de abril, e a retirada de pauta, em 2 de maio."
