As voters in more than 80 constituencies were casting their ballots on April 26 in the second phase of #India ’s mammoth general #election, the country’s Supreme Court issued a critical ruling on the electoral #voting system. Rejecting a petition filed by an NGO, the court ruled that India needs to nurture a "culture of trust" on e-voting. But the lack of trust lies at the heart of the issue, explains France 24’s Leela Jacinto.

Very interesting to discover @Vittoria, Rédactrice en chef at France24, on #mastodon. Great content, commendable engagement!

Meanwhile, entirely too many good U.S. and UK journalists are still hovering around X like buzzards, lending credibility to - and offering up competing visions of the nature of reality with - the least credible people on the internet. (I'd rather scour needle-strewn alleyways, looking for a bum fight.)

Also loved Vittoria's Moebius banner!
