Google reduces Political Ads Transparency tool to only 12 countries – none from the EU!

Amateur use of generative AI tools en masse and a lack of media literacy are creating unique problems and setting dangerous examples in India. www.boomlive.in/decode/a-stu...

A delayed announcement, but happy to share that I've completed a Master’s in Investigative Journalism at City, University of London. As I step into the job market afresh, I'd be grateful for any heads up about work opportunities where you think I’d be a good fit or leads on stories I can pursue 🙏

Alas… what a deplorable sight! I worked with Twitter’s global disinformation team, and helped combat falsehood and hate-speech on the platform.

🚨 #Misinformation on #OperationSindoor 5/n At least two-month-old video of a massive explosion is being shared with false claim that it shows India's recent strike in Sialkot, #Pakistan.

🚨 #Misinformation on #OperationSindoor 4/n "Fuelled by emotion, bias, prejudice, and hyper-patriotism, ordinary individuals have become unaware and misinformed foot soldiers in a digital war over social media platforms. www.ptinews.com/fact-detail/...

🚨 #Misinformation on #OperationSindoor 3/n A prominent Indian YouTuber shared a military simulation video, falsely claiming it to be actual footage of India’s #OperationSindoor in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

🚨 #Misinformation on #OperationSindoor 2/n Indian politician Dr. Nishikant Dubey also fell for misinformation circulated by a Pakistani Twitter handle impersonating an Indian account.

#Misinformation is rife on social media as tensions escalate between India and Pakistan following Indian military's #OperationSindoor targeting "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan & Pakistan-administered Kashmir in retaliation of #PahalgamAttack on 22 April that killed 26 people, mostly tourists.

An interesting read...!! #Cambodia #TikTok #MonkTok

We uncovered more than 100k deceptive US election/social issues ads across +200 FB pages. The ads used deepfakes of Trump, Biden & others to make false claims about gov subsidies and to hawk Trump merch. Meta earned more than **$25 million** from the ads. Story: www.propublica.org/article/face...

Meta released a review of activity on its platforms during an unprecedented year of elections. It covers a lot of ground but fails to address how Meta’s political ad system has been abused to scam and deceive people on a global scale during such a critical year for democracy. Here’s a rundown 🧵:

A group of right-wing media in India have been sharing old and unrelated visuals alongside claim they show atrocities against the Hindu community in wake of the current political unrest in Bangladesh. Here is a latest one joined by RT India, the Indian unit of Russian state controlled news media.

This #AI detection tool created by #TrueMedia intends to help by identifying signs of manipulated pictures and videos posted on social media.

"It’s a web of digital fraud that has been systematically unraveling the dreams of hundreds of Indian parents."

What an irony...!! "The Election Commission is not the only Indian government-adjacent entity still using this banned scanning app. Rest of World found 30 other instances of documents uploaded by government departments and ministries that were scanned with CamScanner since the app was banned..."

A byline worth mention after a long time...!! Dramatised videos, apparently created for entertainment & awareness, are widely being shared on social media as true events with false claims to stoke religious bigotry & misogyny in India. #FakeNews https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-66432198

Counting Russia's dead in Ukraine... #UkraineWar Wonderful example of investigative journalism & visual storytelling through online data collection & verification…!!
