  2. 🛰️ Google adds AI to satellite images, raising fears of deepfakes in the sky

    「 Online, journalists and open-source investigators wondered aloud about Google's decision. "Very curious how or if this idea was red teamed internally because the opportunities for abuse and disinfo are literally boundless," Evan Hill, an visual forensics investigator at the Washington Post wrote on X 」

  3. Deepfakes in the Sky is my new band name.

    Google paused AI-generated satellite imagery after journalists, human rights advocates and open source analysts raised alarms about #deepfakes in the sky — one called the potential for abuse and #disinfo "literally boundless." npr.org/2026/07/31/nx-s1-59146 #ai #dystopia

  5. #Americans, expect more of this for your #2026: #Republican hysterical claims, ZERO evidence:

    "It was already burbling up in various venues toward the end of last week, but it officially got underway over the weekend: the long-expected 2026 #midterm #election #disinfo bonanza."

  6. #MissKittyPolitics #AI #Research can help you determine if any of the news is true. I have no single go to media outlet I explicitly trust unless I already know it to be true. Everybody gets fact checked. If I can't find it 3 times I wonder what's up. If only one, then have to lean towards #disinfo.

  7. "The challenge is no longer only to correct the public record, but to intervene in the private, communal and relational flows where falsehoods often take hold before they become visible to institutions."

    For Poynter, Laura Zommer and Natalia Colombo discuss how journalistic fact-checking could and should evolve in this day and age:

  8. Disinformation spreads as complete narratives, argue researchers, not as factoids.

    This is a serious weakness for debunking based on individual facts.

  9. Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI), including disinformation, is a growing security and foreign policy threat for the European Union. The European External Action Service (EEAS) has taken a leading role in addressing this challenge.

  11. Stop referring to Steve Sweeney as a "journalist". He works for Russian state television. He's a propagandist. Even the current DOS website notes that RT moved beyond being a media entity and is "engaged in information operations, covert influence, and military procurement".

  12. YouTube's hold on Google News is highly disproportionate. Especially given that social media and video content were supposed to be adjunct to print journalism. By sheer numbers, these data suggest it takes up a greater proportion than all other outlets.

    Fascinatinlgly, different keywords showed variations in the behavior of users with how they engaged with the platform. You can start to see a behavioral difference based on valence and year.

  13. @JennyFluff I used to make this metaphor but haven't thought of it in awhile: they're like that orange energy-being in the Star Trek: TOS episode "Day of the Dove" that feeds off anger, and thrives by engineering conflict (in this case, between the Enterprise crew and the crew of a Klingon ship) while also making sure neither side can win (...and, for that matter, planting a false memory which gives one Enterprise crew member personal cause for revenge against the Klingons... internet #disinfo, anyone?).

  14. Just when I was starting to enjoy my dialogues with and questions for fElon's GROK, then I am required to pay for the pleasure!!,,,

    fuck that.

    GROK was becoming a useful tool for me. Especially for sussing out the contunous spewage of AI Slop and the Trump/Bibi war against Iran.

    90% of the time it was correctly identifying the fake photos and deliberately mis-sourced videos.

    Now we will have to pay fElon for the facts and the rest of us will suffer with the disinfo.

    Well done fElon! Fuck you.

  15. "In a move to secure 'the integrity of the global town square', the social media platform X last Friday began posting user location data. As a result, it emerged that dozens of influential Maga accounts are run out of foreign countries, including Russia, India and Nigeria."

    Another great NPR story.👆

    Trump and republicans tried to kill America's only "not corporate owned" stations.

  19. 3. There was a strong focus at #Disinfo2025 on foreign actors / #FIMI from #Russia, not so much on #disinfo attacks from internal actors, the far right, #Trump, or #BigTech billionaires.

    4. There was hardly any discussion of the role of #BigTech social media's business models, algorithmic #amplification, and lack of due diligence in the spread of #disinformation. One ex-US #Army guy claimed "platforms are not the problem," information "is moving on its own." Does it though, does it? 🤦

  20. 🧑‍💻🕵️🤖🛡 I was featured on Intel Focus' Intelligence Spotlight podcast, speaking with Qais Alamdar about information warfare evolving in the age of AI, and the challenges and opportunities for researchers and OSINT/SOCMINT investigators in the counter-infops/-misinfo space.

  21. 🇬🇧🧑‍💻⛽️🔥 Close to the anniversary of the Southport misinformation spread and riots episode, I wrote about attempts made over the past year, by people in the same ecosystem, to gaslight and conspiracise a "vindication vibe" out of their utter humiliation, and the need for an "information battle station".

  22. 🔥🧌🧑‍💻🕵️ I wrote an update-summary post about the European anti-immigrant/-Muslim disinformation grift operations that I have been investigating on X, including recent events in Ireland and Wales, and connecting it to the misinformation-targeted riots across the UK last summer.

  23. 🧌🧑‍💻🇮🇪🔥 The European xenophobic grift X account I exposed as having been farmed+flipped was caught attempting to repeat an information void exploitation tactic to stoke anti-immigrant/-Muslim aggression in Ireland.
    I was interviewed about this phenomenon for this RTÉ Clarity piece by Jack McCarron.
