India’s few fact-checking services, especially @altnews_in , perform a vital service in our post-truth political environment, rife with disinformation. They debunk falsehoods whoever perpetrates them. To arr @zoo_bearst is an assault on truth. He should be released immediately.
The Ukraine invasion has led Georgia to fast-track its EU membership application, but Tbilisi now urgently needs to tackle Russiandisinformation tactics, write @IWilkinson0 and Tamar Dekanosidze.
@mattlogical @NoahAFrankIt IS a national security thread, a huge one. It is the biggest national security threat we have going on right now, not least because of the disinformation campaigns it opens the door to
Rights groups warn over online disinformation before Kenyan polls
A very good example of how misinformation at scale (a bad tweet RT’d by thousands) functions as disinformation.
The opposition under Duterte failed to act early enough vs disinformation, one of the key reasons they lost in 2019 and 2022. | via @maracepeda
The number of ignorant replies to this tweet is astounding. Great job, India! The disinformation crises there is a striking parallel to the one in the U.S.
After the last Foreign Affairs Council, HR/VP @JosepBorrellF summarises the EU’s actions to limit the global fallout of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and to counter Russia’s disinformation:

The Biden Admin’s dangerous Ministry of Truth must be stopped. I am gathering signatures to put the Senate on record to eliminate their “DisinformationGovernance Board” & defend the American people from this grotesque anti-free speech effort.
Spies who lie: The @nypost contacted the senior ex-intelligence officials who signed the shameful 2020 letter declaring Hunter Biden’s laptop and its emails we ran were Russiandisinformation. Not one apologized. Most refused to comment. A few like James Clapper doubled down
So much disinformation out there. Independent investigators here in Ukraine have told me, repeatedly: Joe Biden did NOT stop an investigation into his son. In fact, US officials, including Biden, were pushing for MORE oversight of the company where Hunter Biden was a board member
Leni Robredo, the outgoing vice president of the Philippines, acknowledged on Friday her loss in one of the most consequential presidential elections in the nation’s history, urging her supporters to accept the results and to keep fighting disinformation.
Be very, very careful over the next few days with military information. The Russians want to persuade Ukraine to surrender and they will use disinformation, fake video, fake photos.
A Chinese energy tycoon gifted Hunter Biden a 2.8-carat diamond to gain influence with the Biden family. But don’t worry. Joe Biden says it’s just Russiandisinformation.
A massive DisinformationCampaign is going on by the Democrats, their partner, the Fake News Media, & Big Tech. They create false stories and then push them like has never been done before, even beyond the 2016 Campaign. It imperils our Country, and must stop now. Victory 2020!
Much more “disinformation” coming out of CNN, MSDNC, @nytimes and @washingtonpost , by far, than coming out of any foreign country, even combined. Fake News is the Enemy of the People!
I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work. This is just more Fake News and disinformation put out by the Democrats, in particular MSDNC. Comcast covers the CoronaVirus situation horribly, only looking to do harm to the incredible & successful effort being made!
I heard #MarkZuckerberg 's ‘free expression’ speech, in which he referenced my father. I'd like to help Facebook better understand the challenges #MLK faced from disinformation campaigns launched by politicians. These campaigns created an atmosphere for his assassination.
