#AlexStamos, the fmr #Facebook chief #security officer who founded the #Internet Observatory 5 yrs ago, moved into an advisory role in Nov. Observatory #research manager Renée DiResta’s contract was not renewed in recent wks.
The collapse of the 5-yr-old Observatory is the latest & largest of a series of setbacks to the community of #researchers who try to detect #propaganda & explain how #FalseNarratives are manufactured, gather momentum & become accepted by various groups.
Information security is said to be everyone's responsibility. As social media drives false narratives, #disinformation, along with other malicous agendas, the need to be #information #resilient has never been so important as it is today!

#FalseNarratives have emerged as a result of the #EnergyCrisis.
1. #EnergyTransition contributed to the #EnergyCrisis, ergo we need to invest more in #FossilFuels
2. W/o #energymarket, we would have had lower prices, so we need state intervention.

There are no shortcuts to #sustainability.
One cannot demonize #Russia and create #falseNarratives about them in the hope of creating behaviour change.
DON'T LIE.
As an example the EU are saying stop showering and "Stick it to Putin," but it would not surprise us if many in the #EU were having steaming, hot #showers to support Putin against #BidensWar.
Wonder what Julian would be thinking about the current push for a fresh, new war #distraction?
Maybe he would ask, at what time do we process the #warCriminals from the last 20 years? Starting with #GeorgeBush, #TonyBlair, Obama and Hillary and the military generals who supplied them #falseNarratives.
@arh
But you are ignoring the facts.
You are aware that their are entire departments devoted to feeding the 24-hour news cycle and creating distractions and #falseNarratives, right. Just last week they tried to fuel narratives that #ElSalvador was a corrupt and an extreme authoritarian regime, because bitcoin.
Rich people also have PR firms that guide them on how to achieve X while signalling Z.
Be careful not to dismiss something because someone we might not like presented it.
@seasharp
Try to use #Invidious rather than #Youtube. Its for your own #health and the sake of #publicHealth generally.
Seeing #YouTube ads is needlessly demoralising and you may find yourself getting caught in a #reactionary loop, just wanting to counter the #falseNarratives you see can be harmful, and impedes creating the alternative.
It's more difficult to #BeTheChange when #reacting. Better to ignore what the #legacySystem puts out if you can. Its an endless stream of #publicRelations.
