What do you think? Is it OK to include Russia? Are we condoning it's evil action or opening the door to dialogue and making the country good again? Same as the Olympics?

Russian disinformation is infiltrating Europe. Expose by Toronto Television, Der Spiegel, Paper Trail Media, Der Standard, Investigace, Tages-Anzeiger, BIRD, and OCCRP. 🧵 1/9 ⬇️

Chatbots are increasingly popular as voting aids in elections. Most are not fit for this purpose. The generational difference in use is huge. Ahead of the Danish elections, 13% say they will use chatbots for advice. That is 1 in 5 in Gen Z. And 1 in 20 amongst Boomers. Source: @ddc-sdu.bsky.social

If this were just another platform, it would follow familiar patterns. It doesn’t. The signals we’re seeing aren’t about features. They’re about fatigue and readiness. There’s a difference between disruption and structural change. This conversation is about the latter. Join → @wsocial.eu

"Europe faces constant asymmetric threats. These include drone incursions, infrastructure sabotage, coerced migration, vandalism, cyber-attacks, and large-scale disinformation campaigns." @ecfr.eu ecfr.eu/publication/...

Disinformation is the heart of Trumpism. If you don’t oppose it, it can come for you.

THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 3 March This viral video claims to show the aftermath of a reported drone attack on the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight. But the video was posted last week to TikTok, and shows an unrelated car accident in Riyadh.

C'est vraiment incroyable. Une pub toutes les 4 minutes environ, je crois. Je me demande si c'est lié à la durée des vidéos ? J'ai essayé de regarder « Échappees belles », qui dure environ 90 minutes, mais c'était intenable. Le problème aussi est le temps perdu en chargement des pubs, il me semble.

NEW: X Is *drowning* in disinformation following US and Israel’s attack on Iran. WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack. read @davidgilbert.bsky.social:

"Europe’s wild bees are indispensable to biodiversity, food production, and human well-being. While most species are not currently threatened, one in ten faces extinction risk [...] but coordinated conservation action can mitigate these threats." op.europa.eu/en/publicati...?

Adm. Brad Cooper, the top U.S. military officer at CENTCOM, sent this message to the roughly 50,000 U.S. troops directly involved in operations against Iran - obtained by Washington Post/Dan Lamothe

'Community Notes were designed to "democratize" moderation, but research shows they are largely ineffective in their current form. On X, only about 1 in 10 proposed notes ever becomes visible, and they are even less likely to appear on polarized topics where they are needed most.'

Canada becomes the first non-European country to join SAFE, the EU’s defence financing instrument. This is not a technical detail — it is a political signal. In a world of growing instability, Europe and Canada choose cooperation over coercion, solidarity over isolation. 1/2

Russia coordinated 130 resources to publish 21,400 disinformation posts in three days before Geneva talks Narratives: "Split in West," "ungrateful Ukraine," "failed state under external governance," "terrorist state" euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/16/2...

The strategy against Europe is always to divide it. Whether through Russian disinformation or Big Tech lobbying, the aim is to weaken our shared regulatory power. The EU is attacked because it has huge potential. United, we win. Divided, we hand over control
