Habe mit Sahel Zarinfard von @dossier.at über #Inseratenkorruption in Österreich gesprochen – & warum wir dringend politische Rahmenbedingungen brauchen, die verhindern, dass Inserate öffentlicher Institutionen überhaupt erst zur Verhandlungsmasse zwischen Politik und Medien werden können. 💰🤝📰

"In Summe eine relativ bescheidene Verbesserung", sagt @hausjell.bsky.social zum 22. Platz Österreichs im Ranking von @pressefreiheit.bsky.social. Das liege vor allem daran, dass sich die Situation der Pressefreiheit in anderen Ländern erheblich verschlechtert habe.

People ask why the US 'only' dropped from #55 to #57 in the World Press Freedom Index. Let's be clear. Rank 57 is bad., The US went down significantly on political, economic, legislative, and social indicators 📉 It improved, formally, on security only because no journalist was killed in 2024.

Die Hochstufung der AfD als gesichert rechtsextrem durch den Verfassungsschutz zieht erwartbar viele Reaktionen von AfD-Politiker:innen nach sich. So stellt MdB Beatrix von Storch die Einstufung als unglaubwürdig dar, weil sie von einer bereits abgewählten Regierung komme. (1/9)

Mindest genauso wichtig ist die Wirkung in die andere Richtung: es gibt jenen Rückenwind, die sich jeden Tag in der ersten Reihe für Menschenwürde und damit auch gegen die AfD einsetzen

If like three years ago the pundit class and democratic politicians had held to this line we wouldn't be where we are today "I don't know what the big deal is."

Time & again, journalists & pundits keep giving these guys the benefit of the doubt. We’re living through an era of full-blown counter-enlightenment—state-backed propaganda is the new normal. The rare moment of reason or reflection? Not a turning point—a distraction. Remember that. #RFK #Measles

I’m often critical of misinformation research — not because I want it to end but because I want it to be better. These fundings cuts are sinister and clearly politically motivated, as are the attacks and cuts against US science more broadly.

I spoke to @techpolicypress.bsky.social about the global impact of attacks on disinformation research(ers) "there will always be political entrepreneurs who take inspiration from the US case [...] The anti-science, anti-disinformation research playbook is sadly one that is easily copied"

I think, we shouldn’t underestimate how little he cares about what is real and what not and what is true or false. The narrative is all that counts. #Veracity is not a relevant category in his politics.

Terminating the grants to study misinformation is “an overt act of censoring and preventing accountability,” says Stephen Lewandowsky, a misinformation researcher at the University of Bristol. “Who other than a liar would cancel misinformation research?” 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

"die identitäts- und migrationspolitischen Irrwege der vergangenen Jahre..., die auch in Deutschland den gesellschaftlichen Konsens zerstört haben." Never mind worin dieser Konsens bestanden haben soll. Demokratie dient u. a. dazu, gerade OHNE Konsens Konflikte friedlich zu bearbeiten.

Lawyers in the United States should never be punished or shamed for providing legal counsel. Our system cannot operate otherwise. (And, yes, I said the same thing when Harvard undergraduates were agitating to remove Ronald Sullivan from his position in 2019).
