Meta’s decision to ban ads about politics, elections, and social issues on their platforms like Facebook and Instagram in the EU is now implemented. This is the new policy. Any ad about fx elections, civil rights, economy, health, climate, immigration, or foreign policy is now (presumably) banned.

Worth following live (www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Mq...). A while ago two doves stopped by the chimney, undeniable proof that the holy spirit is with the conclave 👇

E quando New Order era só uma banda?

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

I have been working with colleagues from all over Europe on @depolarisingeu.bsky.social, trying to understand a bit more about what divides us and brings us together. It's a nice project to follow!

Probably really late to the party or simply have been living in a hole but recently discovered NTS and felt something I haven't felt in a long time, the urge to discover new music knowing humans are at the other end.

Becoming a military global power by accident would be very EU

Question by former MEP Franck Proust in March 2014. @ec.europa.eu are we thinking about this?

Lagging behind in my @reutersinstitute.bsky.social research readings. Finally had the time to look at this piece by @kschell.bsky.social. Awesome research (usual RISJ) but the impact matrix for AI in newsrooms is itself a phenomenal example in quality X density X concision of relevant information.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

New to Bluesky? Here's a starter pack with journalists and researchers from the Reuters Institute, and people we follow and admire go.bsky.app/6r1SGfR

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Remember this the next time the guardian shows you one of those "no one edits our editors" calls for subscription.

Don't look away. We did this. www.huffpost.com/entry/palest...

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

When I started my journey in sci-com / media / journalism studies in 2011 I was told the years ahead would be brutal for both brands and journalists. I never expected it to go this bad, I must confess. The reputational damage to legacy news media, as a whole, will probably be irreversible.

The upside of being so out of shape is that I can ace the @nytimes.com Strands on topics such as the one that was on today! Strands #359 “Life is like a box of chocolates” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵

NEW on our site Our data shows that people are turning away from the news, with interest in news falling and news avoidance rising. A new piece by our researcher Craig T. Robertson explains why this is happening and what publishers can do about it reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/people-...

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

There's a lot more going on that NYT and not just NYT reporters don't believe to be true, unfortunately, or refuse to report fairly, even more unfortunately.

I just can't imagine thinking "I need to be on Twitter to fight back" You're fighting with LLMs pal

Correction: @shifter.pt did it first back in 2021, crediting the prompt author! shifter.pt/loja/produto...

Cover of this week's economy supplement of weekly Expresso. Legend reads "Illustration by Leonardo.AI". I believe this is the 1st time a portuguese newspaper / digital brand uses a totally AI made image in a cover.

As evil as he is, DT isn't a traitor or a liar. He did not lie/ deceive/ betray anyone. He is doing exactly what he said he would do, fulfilling his image of what the country should be. The "traitor/liar" narrative will only perpetuate the ideological issues at the core of contemporary US politics.

no Lisbon date is a bummer 😔

This being true the impact of AI on the critical aspects of journalism are particularly concerning.

It's hard not to love Britain.

in one of the pierce brosnan bond movies the villain is a newspaper guy who wants the world in chaos bc it means more news for him to sell. I remember watching it and being like "this is impossibly dumb" but you know what, I may have been wrong on that

Thanks to @rasmuskleis.bsky.social for this thought-provoking reading and review of our book, Algorithms of Resistance (MIT press, OA here: direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mon...)

Really happy to see the Reuters Institute reaching 20K followers here on @bsky.app. A true milestone for a key @ox.ac.uk institution whose mission is exploring the future of journalism worldwide If we don't follow us already, please do it here: @reutersinstitute.bsky.social

I warned the corporate media that they would face the same fate as major record labels if they didn't adapt and work with independent media. They laughed at me. Who's laughing now?

#MarkZuckerberg recently announced #Meta's intention to reduce content moderation in order (so he claims) to uphold #FreeSpeech. But Meta doesn’t give employees or board members the #FreeSpeech leeway it now affords users. @lsebr.bsky.social ♾

I’ve never been good at Greek mythology. It’s always been my Achilles elbow.

O nosso colega @jose-moreno.bsky.social do OberCom e IBERIFIER sobre os últimos desenvolvimentos de META e política da empresa face a desinformação e moderação de conteúdos:

Looking at metrics for the past year for www.obercom.pt (research centre for comm.sci. and media studies). ChatGPT on the rise in regards to referral but one thing we're noticing is that people coming in through ChatGPT have much higher avg. engagement time/session. Anyone else noticing this?

After many years reading about and defending the "rise of audio" narrative when talking about the future of media it's very interesting to actually see it happening.
