Trump is suing for something that happened over a year ago, which is longer than the statute of limitations in UK for defamation. Obviously it's a political stunt, and Trump knows Starmer isn’t going to tell Trump to shove it up his arse #bbc

1/ For the benefit of Lisa Nandy - I have transcribed this interview with Chief Superintendent Tom Joyce from West Midland's police, and SkyNews. Contrary to Lisa Nandy' spin, he is clear, the threat TO THE MACCABI TV FANS was not the primary driver for the ban

AI is learning disinfo. A fake quote about Hamas spread on X… and now Google’s Gemini is repeating it as fact. From rumour → news → “AI truth.” Read how it happened How Google’s Gemini AI is Learning Pro-Israel Disinformation From Social Media open.substack.com/pub/marcowen... #Dysinfluence

Another new post! Doctor Doctor Give Me The Fake News: AI-Powered Medic From Ohio Tweeting Propaganda About Sudan, Israel and European Migration How a verified fake doctor on X spread AI-generated propaganda about Gaza and Sudan marcowenjones.substack.com/p/doctor-doc... #Disinformation

Taking a look at this from @marcowenjones.bsky.social on Sudan's social media and AI.

New investigation. "Nobody Talks Like This: Meet 50 AI-Powered Propaganda Accounts in Sudan's Social Media War" How 50 AI-generated accounts are flooding Twitter with pro-UAE and anti-Muslim (Brotherhood) propaganda on Sudan's civil war marcowenjones.substack.com/p/nobody-tal... #disinformation

Part of your information landscape is very likely fake and designed to influence you. Read @marcowenjones.bsky.social 's investigations to begin grasping the extent. marcowenjones.substack.com/p/nobody-tal...

Fascinating insights on Israel’s influence operations in the US, costing millions. Particularly striking is how the contracts openly talk about the usage of bots to “flood the zone”

Summary of some of the government of Israel's $8 million spend in the US in the past few months to serve propaganda to gen Z, manipulate AI, co-copt influencers, and flood the zone with bots open.substack.com/pub/marcowen...

I want to hear where Van Jones gets his 'evidence' that Iran and Qatar are running a "disinformation campaign" about dead Gaza babies? If you're gonna make such big claims as a journalist you'd better bring receipts.

Musk sharing an AI generated image of the Arc de Triomphe with loads of England and Union flags thinking it's London is peak information disorder.

Genuinely sick

America's "warning" to Qatar

Look what's in close proximity to Israel's illegal attack on Doha, at least 2 nurseries, 3 schools, 6 embassies, a petrol station, a public park. This all happened in the middle of the afternoon, when schools are ending and children engaging in extra curricular activities

1/3 Google and X are accepting thousands of dollars to run Youtube ads by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs that are whitewashing famine in Gaza. Between May and July alone they spent >$138 k targeting Germany alone. #GazaGenocide

Ahhh so it's not genocide if it takes longer than an afternoon? Why is Netanyahu engaging in Holocaust denial now?

August 2024, "Rafah is the last Hamas stronghold" August 2025, "Gaza City is the last Hamas stronghold" It's almost like Israel are using Hamas as an excuse to occupy Gaza... #GazaGenocide

UK right now. Do you support taking action to end Israel's genocide? Yes👌 Do you support taking action to end genocide of Palestinians? Yes👌 So you support taking some sort of action on Palestine? Yes👌 So what you're saying is you support Palestine action? Jail

Look who arranged Shady Vance's holiday? Now George Osborne is a travel agent too 🙄 www.ft.com/content/64df...

So let's get this straight. *Someone*, possibly a well-resourced individual or entity is paying for JD Vance's private holiday to the UK, while the taxpayer is having to foot the bill for his personal security, which also involves invasions of privacy uk.news.yahoo.com/thames-valle...

Who the heck do they think they are??

Don't tell 'em! Or just call yourself Spartacus.

The police are asking local Cotswolds residents for their social media handles to be passed onto to JD Vance's security detail. Glad to hear some people refused. Honestly the nerve of it, especially for the man who criticised Europe for censorship uk.news.yahoo.com/helicopters-...
