Israel-Hamas war: ‘Dire’ disinformation spreads globally | Context

Social media platforms struggle to contain graphic images and disinformation on the Israel-Hamas conflict spreading from India to the U.S.

Michael McFaul, former US Ambassador to #Russia, writes about the #RussiaUkraine conflict in Foreign Policy.

He argues #Putin has no interest in negotiating to resolve the conflict, and that #MAGA conservatives in the US House like Mike Johnson act only to impede American interests.

#EU #Surveillance #Cybersecurity #eIDAS: "Following years of engagement, we raised serious concerns that recent changes to the EU’s new eIDAS regulation will radically expand the capability of EU governments to surveil their citizens. We were joined in these concerns by over 500 cybersecurity experts, researchers and NGOs, as well as other members of industry and the wider security community. Although similarly dangerous legislation like the CSAM Regulation is facing strong opposition from the beginning, the changes to eIDAS have been made as it enters its final stages and from behind closed doors.

Last week, representatives of the European Parliament, Council and Commission announced they had signed off on the eIDAS Regulation and that a vote in Parliament’s ITRE committee will be held on November 28th. We understand that although no changes have been made to Article 45, there were last-minute changes to the accompanying Recital 32. However, the EU has still not published the agreed legal text. There are now less than 13 days until the vote and the cyber security community, civil society and the public are still unable to read the proposed regulation, let alone scrutinize its impacts."
