So... the actual story reported here is that the administration set up a dedicated task force to document EU censorship and THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY. Not that you'd know that from the headline. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.
Kareem Chehayeb@chehayebk.bsky.social · 12mo ago#GAZA: Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital, including a freelance journalist who worked for @apnews.com. At least 8 people were killed in a double-tap strike on the 4th floor, Gaza's Health Ministry said, the second attack came as rescue crews arrived.
Reading Jacques Ellul's (1962) book, Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes. In it, he laments how American scientists had abandoned the term “propaganda” because it “cannot be defined with any degree of precision," calling that "intellectual surrender." We've been down this same road before.

In recent years, we've seen very similar conversations about terms like mis- & disinformation. Terms have been defined & operationalized in different ways. Effects have been hard to measure (often due to overly simplistic models). And some have argued the terms are useless & the concerns overblown.
A new bunch of social media posts emailed to Bellingcat today from Russia's Matryoshka disinformation team, with a new theme. All of them focus on European Muslim communities and pigs materials being used in various ways, clearly an attempt to create tensions.

That's about the same as all the people who have died in every war of the 21st Century, and includes millions of dead children. All blood on MAGA hands.
It's worth reading this study, which estimates millions of deaths thanks to Musk and Trump's USAID cuts over the next 5 years.

I've pieced together the jigsaw pieces the Russian troll factories have been including in their latest fake news X posts, and I think they're trying to tell me something. but I'm struggling to decipher their subtle message. Thanks to @antibot4navalny.bsky.social for providing the missing pieces.
