Our head of emerging media @cjammet shared his thoughts on how #musk 's ruination of #twitter highlights the the importance of the #fediverse, especially for #governments, #NGO's, and #journalists. Give it a read and share your thoughts!
Here's an #AI tool that arrives just in time: The PRISA media group has created an audio #verification and #deepfake detection service for voices in Spanish.
Their goal: Support #journalists (e.g. when covering election campaigns) and foster trust in the face of #disinformation.
Remarkable: The creators also address the problem of powerful people claiming their voices have been cloned after saying something embarrassing.

UNDERSTANDING the fossil fuel industry’s classic narratives is a good starting point.
DEBUNKING false claims is a critical next step. #media#journalists please debunk #climatechange#pollution
Why #journalists and #humanitarian#aid workers assume they are safe to operate in a #war zone is beyond ignorant. Perhaps it's because they have never served in a #military?
If you are killed in a war zone, it's because you are in a war zone.

…"those who harbor higher levels of rural resentment—are more likely, on average, to support violence against the state.”
I'm a multi-disciplinary designer out of work due to #LongCovid. Recently I have been visualizing and raising understanding of post-viral illness with my project ILLMARKS.
"Political leaders who framed this ... as Israel’s right to defend itself, "#journalists" who peddled fictional horror stories about #beheadedbabies and #massrape on #7October, and editors who day in, day out ignored stories about aid convoys being targeted by Israeli forces are rushing for cover.
All the arguments they used to maintain this slaughter are crumbling in their hands..."
"With international reporters locked out, #PalestinianJournalists have made huge sacrifices to keep the world informed of the unprecedented killing and destruction in #Gaza.
