If you want to prove you're not doing a foreign influence campaign campaigning to get a bunch of foreign nations to drop out of/defund a conference on foreign influence is certainly one way to go...

Yesterday afternoon, a sword attack at a school in Fagersta, Sweden, killed one person and seriously injured two teenagers. Our thoughts are with the bereaved, the survivors, and the affected community.

Har Jimmie Åkesson blivit pappa? Och Magdalena Andersson välkomnat nytt barn till familjen? Nej, klickbetessidor är igång igen som tjänar pengar på dina känslor och din uppmärksamhet. Läs mer i min och @modey.bsky.social senaste artikel från @kallkritikbyran.se, i samarbete med Valkollen!
Just nu sprids AI-genererade bilder på svenska politiker ihop med falska påståenden om att de blivit föräldrar, däribland Jimmie Åkesson (SD) och Magdalena Andersson (S).

Är det inte Kopsch, Thor och Heberleins öltappande på Flamman & Co:s 1 maj-fest det mest avpolariserande vi sett i svensk politik på åratal? Snälla gör mer sånt här! Särskilt i myllret av polarisering på sociala medier.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

For Christmas, I wish this account develops proper hearing or reading skills. EU President von der Leyen describes MISINFORMATION as the virus and FREE SPEECH as the vaccine in the form of prebunking falsehoods as prevention is better than cure when it comes to the integrity of our democracies.

The U.S. regime has a very odd definition of censorship and has done a full walk over on the threat poised by the use of disinformation and information manipulation, be it FIMI or DIMI.

Is anyone else getting posts from US government agencies in their Facebook feed? They are not sponsored posts, and while they are viral, I'm not getting posts from other governments, or like, sports and entertainment?

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Nya elakartade bakterier och minskad immunitet ligger bakom en ökning av en särskild sorts blodförgiftning (sepsis) efter pandemin. Men på sociala medier påstås i stället att det är massvaccineringen mot covid-19 som är orsaken – vilket tillbakavisas av experter.

My time at Logically Facts has come to an end after almost 3 years. It has been a wild ride writing fact checks, articles and analysis about swedish and international content on topics ranging from Covid-19 to geopolitical events to conspiracy theories like Tartaria.
