Be mindful of propaganda. No one is immune to it. Information literacy takes work.

For example. A segment in this article reads:

“T**** called for aggressive action to fight anti-Jewish bias on campuses, including the deportation of foreign students who have participated in pro-Palestinian protests.”

They’re not combating anti-Semitism. They’re combating protests/resistance, and using “anti-Semitism” to garner support.

This is the suggestion of David Auerbach, inventor of the emoticon, in this radio 4 series:

Algorithmic and AI components are really shaping that discourses in ways we don’t actually have control over. I think this is only going to increase because we’re going to see that ChatGPT and other chatbots like it can inject themselves into the social discourse and be taken for human pretty easily … The more there is a sense that pen groups can’t be policed, that they are exposed to all sorts of abuse and chaos, there’s going to be great incentive to put back up the soft barriers to membership that have traditionally existed in human society.

Will the early-mid 2010s seem like an anomaly of connectivity in retrospect? A crescendo of publicness which drove a continual retreat into smaller and more private groups, now dispersed and mediated to an unprecedented degree?
