#AI#GenerativeAI#Propaganda#DeepFakes#Disinformation: "AI propaganda is here. But is it persuasive? Recent research published in PNAS Nexus and conducted by Tomz, Josh Goldstein from the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown University, and three Stanford colleagues—master’s student Jason Chao, research scholar Shelby Grossman, and lecturer Alex Stamos—examined the effectiveness of AI-generated propaganda.
Podcast 11KM: Auf der Spur russischer Falschnachrichten
Russische Propaganda findet ihren Weg gezielt nach Deutschland. 11KM verfolgt mit Max Gilbert vom BR24 Faktenfuchs eine Falschnachricht zurück zu ihrem Ursprung. Wer hat sie in die Welt gesetzt und warum?
'Artificial intelligence chatbots are facing more scrutiny after an investigative report showed how they can be easily used to devise deceptive election campaigns. The report, conducted by Nieuwsuur in collaboration with AI Forensics, revealed how chatbots from tech giants Google and Microsoft provided strategies aimed at manipulating voters during the upcoming European Parliament elections.'
charges are falsifying business records to hide #HushMoney payments in lead up to 2016 election to #influence electorate
just one Trump supporter at the courthouse draped in a Trump flag.
#StormyDaniels's lawyer, #KeithDavidson, to return to stand. He negotiated the hush-money payment at the center of the case, & is expected to lay out details of the deal.
Georgia Longstreet, the next witness, is a paralegal who monitors social media postings at the Manhattan DA’s office. She will be questioned by prosecutor Rebecca #Mangold.
This is another #CustodialWitness — again only necessary because #Trump’s legal team refused to agree on basic #facts prior to trial.
“Can you briefly describe how #Twitter works?” is a question 🙄.
Wartościowy odcinek na kanale @MyslecGlebiej z serii o propagandzie. Skompresowana dawka wiedzy którą można rozszerzyć zagłębiając się w źródła z opisu pod filmem.
Zjawisko "czerwonej turystyki" jest związane ze świeckimi pielgrzymkami do miejsc upamiętniających marsz ku władzy Komunistycznej Partii Chin w latach 1921-1949.
"The Biden Administration is considering a plan to allow some Palestinian refugees to enter the United States"
Here comes the scam I've been waiting for. They want to empty Gaza by giving refuge to a few selected ones.
This is the first phase of the psyops to prepare the minds of the public and palestinians alike when they help "save" Palestinians via the "humanitarian port".
A handful of billionaires are tightening their grip on the information ecosystem.
Elon Musk has transformed Twitter into x, a platform that amplifies disinformation, bigotry and conspiracy theories. Musk altered the network's algorithm to promote his fascist propaganda and suppress links from factual, science and reputable Information and other independent outlets.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has downgraded reliable news and political sites for Information on Facebook and other Meta properties, prioritizing memes and celebrity gossip.
Remember, the judge ruled, to instruct the jury, that all of Fox’s statements were false. But Dominion still has the right to make its case. So they are going to present the statements, from their first opening, in all their lurid detail. Fox has to just sit there and take it.
Fox purposefully lied to Americans continually, knowing criminal suspect Donald lost. Fox helped him spread #TheBigLie and launch the insurrection.
If, like roughly a hundred million Americans, you regularly consume fascist propaganda in the guise of cable “news” (fox, newsmax, & other propaganda outlets) online disinformation publications, and the platform formerly known as Twitter, it’s likely that at least some of that fascist propaganda is originating in Moscow.
Kremlin documents reveal Russian trolls are targeting U.S. support for Ukraine and engaging in a significant campaign to undermine U.S. elections and discourage voting.
Talking about #telegram. Durov's new buddy Carson interviewed bloody Dugin, as seen on his channel with 250k followers.
I thought he couldn't do anything worse than interview putin. But I underestimated him.
Especially this "Ukrainian government murdered his daughter". Seriously? Of all the Russians we could kill in Moscow we would choose this crazy's daughter?
God I wish I lived in a world where I can just post about open-source software and interesting books.
Abgesehen davon, dass ich TikTok nicht mag weil ich deren Zweck nicht einsehe, nutzen es sehr viele und vor allem sehr junge Menschen und dies auch kommerziell. Wie eben YouTube & Co. und eigentlich nicht viel anders aber auch als politische Propaganda eine Konkurenz zusätzlich.
🧵 …das TikTok hauptsächlich #Propaganda ist und dies auch deswegen von der #USA und in der #EU dagegen gehalten wird, ist nicht verwunderlich. Die sind auch dagegen, da die es selber nicht "erfolgreich" nutzen, weniger wegem Inhalt.
»Was andere Parteien vom Erfolg der #AfD lernen:
Die #NoAfD ist einer Studie zufolge bei jungen Menschen so beliebt wie nie. In der #SocialMedia-App #TikTok hat keine Partei mehr #Like's. Doch es regt sich Gegenwind.«
🧵 …und dass auch noch #NordKorea mit spielt ist nicht wirklich verwunderlich, denn einfacher lässt sich #Propaganda nicht verteilen – egal ob wir es nun #Marketing oder sonst wie nennen.
Die Begründung diesbezüglich hatte ich schon oben ausführlicher erwähnt.

»Why North Korea's latest propaganda bop is a huge TikTok hit:
When #NorthKorea'n dictator Kim Jong Un released his latest song two weeks ago, surely he couldn’t have foreseen it becoming a hit on #TikTok.«
So, #telegram today blocked all Ukrainian bots that were used to gather information about the movement of russian forces and also the sightings of drones. All of that because seemingly they breach the terms.
At the same time all the similar russian bots keep working as usual.
I'm afraid it's official — telegram is under #russia. See the post where Durov announced this few days ago.
The world needs something as good as telegram, but independent, like mastodon.
The New York Times is not an unbiased fount of information, but a sophisticated ideological weapon. Our goal is to unmask the Times and expose the paper for what it is: a tool of empire encased in a liberal veneer.
Wadliwe rozróżnienie między faktami i opiniami wywołuje dezinformację na poziomie meta. Ludzie nie zgadzają się nie tylko co do faktów, ale także co do tego, czym one są.
Może to prowadzić do polaryzacji. Stronnicy mają tendencję do postrzegania swej strony jako posiadającej fakty, a drugiej strony jako posiadającej opinie.
Proposal would target those responsible for threatening the stability, security or #sovereignty of EU member states or third countries by undermining elections, the rule of law, facilitating acts of #violence or do so through the use of information manipulation and interference
Oh look it works again, thought when it wanted to access #X anonymously it didn't work anymore. Apparently it now works again like on #Twitter and you can distribute its anonym here in the #Fediverse over a #Nitter instance. It's more convenient to avoid the data collection frenzy of this #web recording for your #privacy.
