Interesting map, in western europe it calls the countries what they are called in their official languages. While the rest of the world just uses english names.

    This Community Now Redirects to !Fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com </c/Fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com> (Closed for posts until further notice) (lemmy.world)
     

    !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Since the lemmyverse is rather small, this community, while of a relevant topic only saw a couple posts per month and limited discussion. On top of that, the only mod of this community (me) is having health problems and is unsure whether I will be able to be active as a moderator.

    This has led to the decision of “merging” this community with !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which is larger and has a more generalised topic. The theme of the community we are merging with is very much linked to astroturfing, and so any content that relates to astroturfing will likely fit there. In the future, it may be open to discussion to re-open this community, if lemmy has a larger userbase. But as of now, it makes little sense to have a community with a couple posts a month, when these posts would still be relevant and be seen by more in a larger community.

    Here’s the link again !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

    A special thanks to @flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com (the head mod of !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com) for making this possible.

    If you have any thoughts or concerns about this, you’re welcome to share them in the comments below.

    New NATO Climate report points to Russian backed social media misinformation campaigns related to climate (www.axios.com)
     

    Threat level: NATO has also found that its adversaries, chiefly Russia, are spreading climate and energy-transition-related disinformation in order to undermine political will for climate action.

    • It cites an uptick in Russian disinformation tied to the European green energy transition on social media and on online news sites. Russia, a major producer of oil and gas, has an interest in slowing the transition to renewable energy sources.
    • Disaster-related disinformation is another emerging trend, which seeks to impair NATO members' ability to respond effectively. This was observed, for example, in association with the deadly fire in Lahaina, Maui, in August of last year, the report states.
    • Russia, for example, sought to benefit from that by spreading the narrative that the U.S. should be aiding its own citizens in Hawai'i instead of Ukraine, the report notes.

    What they're saying: "Russia and other NATO adversaries use climate disinformation to sow division, delay action, and cynically undermine the public understanding of climate change in ways that put people in harm's way during climate-exacerbated disasters," Kate Cell, a senior climate campaign manager at the Union of Concerned Scientists, told Axios.

    Russian-linked cybercampaigns put a bull’s-eye on France. Their focus? The Olympics and elections (apnews.com)
     

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17327755

    PARIS (AP) — Photos of blood-red hands on a Holocaust memorial. Caskets at the Eiffel Tower. A fake French military recruitment drive calling for soldiers in Ukraine, and major French news sites improbably registered in an obscure Pacific territory, population 15,000.

    All are part of disinformation campaigns orchestrated out of Russia and targeting France, according to French officials and cybersecurity experts in Europe and the United States. France’s legislative elections and the Paris Olympics sent them into overdrive.

    More than a dozen reports issued in the past year point to an intensifying effort from Russia to undermine France, particularly the upcoming Games, and President Emmanuel Macron, who is one of Ukraine’s most vocal supporters in Europe.

    This story, supported by the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting, is part of an Associated Press series covering threats to democracy in Europe.

    Online Reviews Are Being Bought and Paid For. Get Used to It (www.wired.com)

    You may want to start with the related article: The Decomposition of Rotten Tomatoes: The most overrated metric in movies is erratic, reductive, and easily hacked — and yet has Hollywood in its grip.

    Critics have long been accused of accepting money from companies in exchange for a review of their gadget, book, or movie. Most writers would scoff at the idea, but the practice is widespread—and growing.
