ResearchBuzz: FirehoseThe Register: Signalgate: Pentagon watchdog probes Defense Sec Hegseth . “A US Department of Defense watchdog has opened an investigation into its own Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, over his use of instant-messaging app Signal to discuss government business.”
If you look into the "comms" budgets of NZ public services, you'll find that every year they give huge pots of money to corporate platforms, to "promote" public service messages to kiwis using them. At the same, they've been considering making those same companies give money to legacy news media companies, instead of funding public interest journalism (FDNBB), and now they're cutting funding to public media.
This is absurd.
