This highlights MAGA accounts, but it would be good practice to take a minute to look into the credentials of any social media account before boosting or engaging with them.

The federal #government is facing a dwindling window to #regulate the use of #ArtificialIntelligence in campaigns before the #2024election.
The #FCC chair announced a plan last month to require #politicians to disclose #AI use in TV & radio #ads. But the prop is facing opposition from a #FEC top ofcl, which has been considering its own new rules on AI campaign use.

are sharing posts that are very similar/identical with the hashtag #StandWithIsrael. Lots of inspirational quotes with, sometimes, unrelated image, which have nothing to do with the hashtag. An example of exact same post:
https://expressional.social/@dan/112196258903787384 and https://c.im/@zeev2/112199325816163626 (which is one of the few message that's linked with the hashtag).
It seems to be a attempt of an influence campaign (which seems rather poor). I will be more than happy if the administration of all these instances can try to determine from which country it comes/try to find more accounts like this one for other subjects. #fediverse #influenceCampaign #fakeAccount

“Loin d’être un mouvement spontané, la campagne en faveur du a été largement orchestrée et financée par un réseau d’organisations liées à l’industrie technologique et aux services de sécurité.[...] La proposition de Mme Johansson est excessivement « influencée par des entreprises qui prétendent être des ONG, mais qui agissent plutôt comme des entreprises technologiques »”

What is Alberta's oil & gas "war room" doing in Nanaimo, #BC?

The CEC has launched a hardball #lobbying push... urging #oil and #gas supporters to flood #Nanaimo city council with letters to press the local government to reverse its decision [to ban #FortisBC’s natural gas hookups from new buildings]

The Canadian Energy Centre (CEC) is a publically funded provincial corporation created by former #Alberta premier Jason Kenney

#FediHelp @fairsocialnet
I don't understand how a certain account has all its posts reaching my instance, with no public follow or boost links between them, no group, no relay server that I know of.

I find it improbable that a genuine user on tooting.ch has looked up all these posts manually by their url. The account's content [@peterrsjensen] matches what a #Russian #influenceCampaign could try to propagate.

#China Sows #Disinformation About #Hawaii Fires Using New Techniques

Beijing’s #InfluenceCampaign using #ArtificialIntelligence is a rapid change in tactics

Until now, China’s #influence campaigns have been focused on amplifying #propaganda defending its policies on #Taiwan & other subjects. The most recent effort…, suggests that #Beijing is making more direct attempts to sow #discord in the #UnitedStates.
