#FIMI and #disinformation are now systemic global threats, undermining democracies, economies, and human rights. They erode trust, polarize societies, and destabilize markets, requiring robust public-interest media and policy initiatives like the European Democracy Shield for resilience.

Heute wird der International Disinformation Awareness Day begangen. Wir möchten diese Gelegenheit nutzen, denjenigen zu danken, die sich aktiv gegen die gezielte Verbreitung von #Desinformation und #FIMI (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference) einsetzen.
Unsere hieraus abgeleitete Position für einen differenzierten und sensiblen Umgang in der Debatte um Desinformation erklären wir unter https://load-ev.de/wofuer-wir-stehen/approved_ideas/
3. There was a strong focus at #Disinfo2025 on foreign actors / #FIMI from #Russia, not so much on #disinfo attacks from internal actors, the far right, #Trump, or #BigTech billionaires.
4. There was hardly any discussion of the role of #BigTech social media's business models, algorithmic #amplification, and lack of due diligence in the spread of #disinformation. One ex-US #Army guy claimed "platforms are not the problem," information "is moving on its own." Does it though, does it? 🤦
So for now I'm listening to what sounds like a sales pitch from a #defence tech firm called #gerulata that claims they have developed an #AI model that can "predict" if certain pieces of online content will be used for a #disinformation campaign plus do all kinds of awesome magic. 🧐

EUvsDisinfo expose Kremlin's #FIMI playbook:
📜 Twisting history to serve their agenda
😈 Dehumanising Ukraine with fabrications
👉 Projecting blame to claim victimhood
Their goal: to divide, confuse, and justify atrocities.

🥳 It's a beautiful announcement to celebrate: Meta is ending political advertisement in 🇪🇺 in October 2025!!
https://about.fb.com/news/2025/07/ending-political-electoral-and-social-issue-advertising-in-the-eu/
These were already illegal in several #EU countries, and my team had found many illegal ones in 🇫🇷 back in 2019. Many ads were paid for by foreign actors. Micro-targeting within social media for political influence will still be abused, but that is a victory against #FIMI and for electoral integrity.

• “Defence innovation” with 🇺🇦🇳🇴 (my reading: do bilateral in face of NATO uncertainty)
• #FIMI (#disinformation): more systematic attribution & sanctions, EU election observation missions will now include social media monitoring
En décembre dernier, #VIGINUM a publié D3lta, une librairie #python open source pour détecter les contenus textuels dupliqués.
On vous raconte le projet ici https://www.linkedin.com/posts/viginum_viginum-ugcPost-7300805755262124032-K-zK
Pour faciliter son utilisation, on a aussi publié D3lta sur pypi : https://pypi.org/project/d3lta/

Steve Witkoff, Trump's Special Envoy, has a serious and unreported conflict of interest in Russia-Ukraine negotiations: his relationship with Ukraine-sanctioned businessman Len Blavatnik.

My colleagues in DC are saying that you can't use the words '#disinformation' and '#FIMI' (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference) in any official context anymore.
The #US has given up on fighting against bullshit — in fact, they now fully embrace it.
