@emmalbriant.bsky.social discusses the current threat environment to academic researchers. "What we are talking about here are coordinated multi-vector attacks from often well funded political actors or governments." From the Cambridge Disinformation Summit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWep...

At best, this split-screen is evidence of misinformation. Quite plausibly, one of these two is exploiting the tragic event for political propaganda.

Multiple orgs that did rapid response analysis of content and rumors during chaos in 2020 don’t exist anymore -ie, Jim Jordan et al killed SIO. Some pretty handy tools -like Crowdtangle- no longer exist. The Twitter/X API costs $$$ now, so OSINT tools died. And we need these things more than ever.

I note, in my recent talk to UK and U.S. lawmakers, that there are fundamentally four global meta crises: --transnational organized crime --monopolized media & tech --weaponized grievance --cowardice www.linkedin.com/pulse/addres...

I have also noted that I sense we are in the most acute information and accountability crisis of our lifetimes. I even quote Steve Bannon to help illustrate the fallout. www.linkedin.com/posts/jagoli...

Please read @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social’s book Strongmen to move faster through cognitive dissonance and normalcy bias. The less surprised people are about what is happening, the sooner they can start supporting interventions. wwnorton.com/books/strong...

AI chatbots are spreading fake news: internet users are turning to AI bots for verification, only to be given unreliable and inaccurate results. Vedika Bahl explains in this edition of Truth or Fake. www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/...

Moments like this are when you should be educating yourself, so I've put together this playlist of podcasts about the various philosophical ideas that I've based my work defining Verification, Deliberation and Accountability as pillars of healthy democracies around open.spotify.com/playlist/3NJ...

“Imagine a chatbot that learns what makes you anxious or what your particular grievances are. …That can find ways of winning your attention that would not have been possible for a recommender algorithm. It’s already happening.” unherd.com/2025/06/will...

Four meta problems that feed the global disinformation problem: —Transnational organized crime syndicates —Monopolized tech and media —Weaponized grievance —Cowardice Full discussion from my talk to UK MPs and U.S. members of Congress: www.linkedin.com/posts/jagoli...

Brazilian Congressman Silva: "It is not possible [safe] for a bunch of companies from the Silicon Valley to control social and economic dynamics in the entire world. They are harming sovereignty and creating very weird cultures." www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-pg...

Poll inferences need to look to the popularity within the population of aggrieved-and-more-easily-radicalized. High popularity in that subgroup is a force multiplier because the latent threat of violence seems to increase political cowardice. www.linkedin.com/pulse/addres...
