This is the view of the latest Reykjanes eruption from our hotel room on Hverfigata in Reykjavik #eruption #Iceland

I've seen two major disinformation themes around Navalny's death, one is misrepresenting already false claims, shown left, the other is repeating a story based on fabricated videos and documents alleging an affair. The second one we recently unpicked in the Bellingcat Discord.

OpenAI laid out its plans and policies to try to stop people from using its technology to spread disinformation and lies about elections, as billions of people in some of the world’s biggest democracies head to the polls this year. wapo.st/3RY1gno

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet publishes article linking Tesla to child labor in Madagascar, and X/Twitter put this “warning” to those following the link. Clear attempt to reduce traffic & more evidence that Musk’s commitment to free speech nothing more than cynical bullshit.

wrote about telegram as the internet's new digital vanguard. despite not having the most users, telegram is now one of the most consequential platforms online. it is upstream of so many things that are happening on normie internet and in IRL spaces motherjones.com/politics/2023/…

i know we all love goofin' around on here, but i am once again absolutely fucking gutted by the imminent loss of an irreplaceable archive of first person accounts of little moments in history. losing the ability to search the online landfill for these artifacts is devastating.

Prigozhin: I'm not going to storm Moscow
Everyone:

Putin getting stabbed in the back by his own mercenaries is objectively hilarious, but so is watching western pseudo-journalist trolls (who found common with Putin's vicious bigotry) flail completely at spinning any of this
