Twitter: Accounts mit blauen Haken verbreiten Fake News zum Ukraine-Krieg
Auf Twitter gehen immer wieder falsche Behauptungen zum Ukraine-Krieg viral, unterstützt durch Accounts mit den blauen Haken. Das hat die BBC ermittelt.
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
@JosephMenn#FreeSpeech#misinformation#fakenews#journalism 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.
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.
the circus that currently performs in finnish government is getting so out of hands that im just waiting for the day it just implodes in on it self like couple billionaires in a submarine.
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 ...
#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."
Presseportal für Schulen: Kultusminister unterzeichnen Vertrag für Nutzung

Wenn man sich ein bisschen mit #Telegram-Nutzern austauscht, die einen abgrundtiefen Hass auf alles Grüne hegen, taucht man voll in die Welt der #Fakenews ein.
✅ Die FörderProfi GmbH, eine Tochter von Viessmann, beschäftigt Anja Habeck.
❌ Sie ist weder verwandt noch verschwägert mit Robert Habeck.
Das ist aber egal, man kann trotzdem eine “lustige” Bildkachel dazu basteln und tausendfach teilen. Die Leute interpretieren das. Und werfen es #Habeck bzw mir in den Gesprächen vor. 🤦🏻♂️
Russia: What will become of Prigozhin's troll factories?
After a failed mutiny, Prigozhin, head of the Wagner Group, has reportedly shut down his media group. But experts and observers warn this won't be the end of fake news and online trolls from Russia.
@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.

"Les expériences menées montrent que l'excès de confiance est double: les personnes les plus susceptibles d'être piégées par de fausses informations ont tendance non seulement à surestimer leurs capacités, mais également à être persuadées qu'elles sont plus clairvoyantes que la moyenne de leurs congénères."
A test of five #AI-image detection tools finds they often struggle with altered and low quality images and sometimes even fail when an image is obviously fake.
