Mis/disinformation research officially cancelled. Understanding the creation, content, distribution, and susceptibility is one of today’s key scientific and societal challenges. Researching this is not free speech infringement. Such a claim is intentionally misleading.

How many cheerleaders for ‘AI in the newsroom’ are going to point out that a key current use of the technology is for authoritarians to run programs over all journalistic output - including social media and newsletters - to single out and persecute those with opposing views?

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.
