Die Gewerkschaft der Polizei hat auf ihrer Webseite einen langen Artikel, warum sie unbedingt "Vera" (also #Palantir ) braucht. Für Rückfragen solle man sich bei [email protected] melden. Damit ist wohl klar, wessen PR-Abteilung den Text geschrieben hat... dp-digital.gdp.de/collection/d...

Die USA sind weltweit der groesste Investor in professionelle Spyware zum Hacken und Auslesen von PCs und Smartphones. Was bedeutet es, wenn die groesste Militarmacht der Welt aktiv ihre und andere Buerger ausspioniert?

"Digitale Souveränität" statt Abhängigkeit von US-Konzernen: Das Bundesheer wechselt von MS Office zu #LibreOffice. Eine absolut richtige Entscheidung! Jetzt muss die Politik nachziehen und überall auf Free/Libre Open Source Software setzen. #FLOSS #PublicMoneyPublicCode

Western bands that remove their music from Spotify because they believe it profits from war, while simultaneously keeping it on the Russian platform Yandex Music, perfectly illustrate the kind of stupidity bred by decades of anti-Western subversion.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

So, now that the Putin thing has happened and was just about as shitty as expected, can we go back to focussing on the #Epstein files, please.

I wrote somethingfor @fullfact.org about the ways in which the disappearing archive makes their work even harder but more important. I'm a trustee & continue to be amazed at their resiliency in an age of AI slop and attacks against those who investigate accuracy. fullfact.org/technology/m...

Honoured to have been given the opportunity to show my film HOW TO BUILD A TRUTH ENGINE at the @ec.europa.eu today.

Why do we fall so easily for disinformation, fake news and conspiracy theories and what can we do about it? For over 5 years I followed neuroscientists, computer scientists, narrative scientists and investigative journalists for my docu HOW TO BUILD A TRUTH ENGINE 1/2

Ganz on Trumpism as a form of “reactionary modernism.” Trumpism/Muskism’s blend of pastoral nostalgia and authoritarian tech futurism harkens back to the John Birch Society, which appealed to a disproportionately large number of aerospace engineers & airline pilots. open.substack.com/pub/johnganz...

The presidency is a business operation for Trump. Always has been. Still, keep in mind, he managed to bankrupt a casino, so…

Meine Lieben! Es gibt ein paar Updates zu meiner Kino-Doku HOW TO BUILD A TRUTH ENGINE (www.truthengine.net)! Heute Abend um 18:00 diskutiere ich mit dem Start-Up Circle der @tuwien.at und dem Media Innoviation Lab der @wienerzeitung.at.web.brid.gy Tickets: www.eventbrite.com/e/informatio... 1/5

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV experts assert that Russia is not interested in a ceasefire and should instead resort to an escalation. They describe Americans as unsavory characters with whom they have to engage—akin to the USSR signing a pact with Hitler. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jANu...

I've just come back from the Cambridge Disinformation Summit where I gave the opening keynote, titled "Demanufacturing Consent - How Disordered Discourse is Destroying Democracy", featuring everything from Fake Hooves to Jackson Hinkle being the worst. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-FV...

The Democratic Party of Albania also hired a lobbying firm to try to gain access to Trump in 2017. It didn't go great. As we have reported, the Albanians appear to have paid the US firm with funds that were part of a clandestine Kremlin influence effort. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The level of criminal conduct here is hard to imagine www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Am Tag der Bundestagswahl hat ein groß angelegter Cyberangriff @taz.de lahmgelegt - Katastrophe. @jeanbaeck.bsky.social, Pierre Dinh van und ich haben recherchiert woher der Angriff kam: Die Spur führt nach Ungarn, es war wohl eine gezielte Attacke auf die taz. taz.de/Angriff-auf-...

A rise in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events poses risks to Europe’s infrastructure. Projected damage may increase tenfold by 2100. 51% of cities now have adaptation plans, up from 26% in 2018. Read more in the #ESOTC2024. https://bit.ly/3RcclBe#ESOTC2024 #C3S

Glaciers in all European regions saw a net loss of ice in 2024. Record rates of mass losses in Scandinavia and Svalbard, likely due to warmer-than-average summer temperatures. European Alps among fastest-receding globally. More details in the #ESOTC2024 report https://bit.ly/3XVF695#ESOTC2024

Almsee. April.

if even one of these dudes' personal phones has been infected with NSO's Pegasus (and let's be real they likely all have) then they have just been broadcasting US state secrets to our adversaries for months www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

So sind sie, die Rechtspopulisten. Gegen die EU wettern und so tun, als würde man dort irgendwas ändern wollen, aber eigentlich nur fett abkassieren.

Mal was Privates :)

Ok, they texted it to The Atlantic. I am wondering: who else? Also: ok, this was about the Houthis. What, if next time it‘s about Taiwan? Or Ukraine?

European scientists, Journalists, filmmakers - read this thread.

Endlich mal wieder im Wald gewesen!

Yesterday ChatGPT got name of the current governor of Puerto Rico wrong three times, and until I put in a news link showing it was wrong, it continued to insist it was right. Then I told it it was bad, and it deleted my comment. Keep your thinking intact and avoid using them.

Why do we fall so easily for Fake News, disinformation and conspiracy theories - and what can we do about it? This is what my feature documentary HOW TO BUILD A TRUTH ENGINE is about. Executive produced by George Clooney & Grant Heslov. This is the trailer.
