British officer: "How bad is the news?"

Dutch woman: "Who knows? Some say the Germans are being beaten back. Others say they've already occupied Amsterdam. There is no truth left in Holland."

– Spoken in "Operation Amsterdam" (Rank Organisation, 1959) at about 21 min.

#InformationDisorder

Misinformation Ecosystem
It’s not just random “fake news.”
It’s a system where disinformation, conspiracy, and ideology reinforce each other through media and tech.
Understanding this web is key to resisting it.

Another chapter in the administration's war on knowledge, accountability, and the public's wellbeing: "Trump Halts Data Collection on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change, More." https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-doge-data-collection-hhs-epa-cdc-maternal-mortality
#InformationDisorder

In a conversation about the information disorder we're all grappling with, I found myself saying that the constant barrage of existentially bad news from Washington these past few months has been wearing me down, making me dumber.

Institute for the Study of War: "US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff uncritically amplified a number of Russian demands, claims, and justifications regarding the war in Ukraine during an interview on March 21.…"

Started rereading a little book I enjoyed when it first came out: Brooke Gladstone, The Trouble with Reality: A Rumination on Moral Panic in Our Time (Workman Publishing, 2017).

[#INFORMATIONDISORDER] Such a pleasure to read again the dense and smart thoughts of @cward1e encouraging us to stop using "fake news", to better look at "narratives" (and less at the "atoms of content), to promote "good stuff" rather than fighting "bad stuff"...

Thanks to @N_Henin, who spotted this article.

Su La Pravda italiana titolano come nello screenshot, noi ci mettiamo alla ricerca e scopriamo che persino il Daily Mail riesce ad avere un articolo che spiega le cose meglio. Il Daily Mail! @IDMO_it @ODG_CNOG #informationdisorder #fakenews #presiperifondelli

l sito è in black list da tempo, registrato a Francesco Camillo Soro residente anche lui alle Canarie, come il playboy fallito e il garagista nervoso... sarà un caso? #informationdisorder #bufalari #mascherine #fischiperfiaschi

I loved @NordVPN then I found out that it sponsors many italian channels that spread disinformation. Now sadly I wait for my subscription to end and switch to a new VPN. #informationdisorder #advertisement

.@calabres ci farebbe molto piacere avere un suo commento in merito ad alcune imprecisioni che abbiamo rilevato in un suo intervento sulla #televisionepubblica qualche giorno fa: https://www.butac.it/la-finta-informazione-di-casa-italia/ @IDMO_it @unito @MinisteroSalute #informationdisorder #insetti

.@AlbertoContri da fact checkers accusati di essere diffusori di fake news https://www.butac.it/meluzzi-clickbait/ attendiamo un commento. #informationdisorder #seipartedelproblema #

Vediamo circolare la classifica di @NewsGuardRating sui siti italiani più inaffidabili: i due più letti, testate regolarmente registrate da noi trattate quasi ogni settimana, non sono nemmeno menzionati, appaiono solo pesci piccoli o minuscoli. #informationdisorder #inaffidabile

Seems like a nice community here (and man, I like that I have more than 280 signs to blab on and on about stuff), so I'm gonna put out a question:

While I'm still struggling with adjusting the language in my mastodon app, I have done some looking around and haven't found many people who talk about #disinformation. Now, I'm aware that this might absolutely be due to my still-finding-the-lay-of-the-land status here, but perhaps someone has some suggestions?

Anyone who works on / is interested in the following? And this post also very elegantly lets me make my point that we live in a definition spahgetti bowl :skp345:

Oh, I also like "problematic information" - it's so precise, no? Tells you EXACTLY what you mean, no?

And for good order, I also mention #fakenews even though I can talk a long time about why we shouldn't use it.

If I missed any terms, don't be shy and add them with a brief explanation of why it's necessary to use that term instead of any of the other ones (yes, I'm looking for fellow nerds :dy54:)

Ho ascoltato #InformationDisorder, un bel #podcast di #Butac su #FunkwhaleItalia. Lo trovate tutto qui

In particolare, però, delle 12 puntate vi segnalo questa:

da cui cito la frase "l'aggressività è la parola sbagliata"

E di aggressività, in questo periodo, ne ho vista troppa, nella mia timeline di twitter. Da un lato e dall'altro (se capite a quali lati mi riferisco).
