Dead man walking

A school show in Finland has raised concerns about Russian propaganda influence. When disinformation targets educational spaces, the challenge isn't just technical — it's about media literacy from an early age. The most resilient firewall is a curious, critical mind. 🧠 #infosec #disinfo #cyberpolitics

My personal 9 questions before believing anything.

SOURCE — primary or secondary?
NORMALIZATION — duplicate or original?
EVENT vs NARRATIVE — fact or interpretation?
ACTORS — who communicates, who benefits?
INCENTIVES — cui bono?
MANIPULATION — fear, urgency, vague sources?
CROSS-CHECK — independent or just repeated?
SCORING — relevant, reliable, distorted?
DECISION — ignore, monitor, investigate.
news → opinion. or news → analysis → decision.

Kid Cudi tosses controversial co-headliner from his #RebelRagers comeback tour after #MAGAT Sri Lankan Tamil heritage rapper who dated Diplo and had a child with a Canadian Seagram$ scion, has become problematic for fans. Concert goers became particularly upset about onstage rants, pronouncements and polarizing politics decrying "illegals".

in recent years, after her 2010 breaktru hit #PaperPlanes , M.I.A. flipped off #NFL #SuperBowl XLVI halftime viewers onstage, and eventually evolved into an #AntiVax crusader spreading #disinfo about Covid-19 and sold a line of anti-5G clothing via #AlexJones #InfoWars . Her career has commercially stalled, particularly since leaving a 2012 management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation and a 2017 conversion to Christianity, while displaying Kanye-esque stances and evolving from anti-Trump to becoming a non US citizen who virulently supports #DJT.

Okay we'll see if it's a united front or if there's just this many people in my room wanting to slug It out about #crypto with some #disinfo. ⏩ You're wrong. ⏪ Go ahead and state a premise. I will counter it. We will shove it into #Gemini without any changes and we will see who it thinks is correct.

#MissKittyPolitics #AI #Research can help you determine if any of the news is true. I have no single go to media outlet I explicitly trust unless I already know it to be true. Everybody gets fact checked. If I can't find it 3 times I wonder what's up. If only one, then have to lean towards #disinfo.

"The challenge is no longer only to correct the public record, but to intervene in the private, communal and relational flows where falsehoods often take hold before they become visible to institutions."
