NewsGuard, a company that aims to help identify reliable news sources, has stopped using the labels 'misinformation' and 'disinformation' as they were politicized and partisan. They now explain whether a claim is '[...] explicitly false, AI-generated, unsubstantiated or manipulated'.
What do you think?

Such situations have prompted some former #judges to do something most generally do not—speak out. More than two dozen retired judges appointed by Republican & Democratic presidents have formed the #ArticleIII Coalition to push back on attacks & #disinformation about the #courts.

"A mere 0.1% of users share 80% of fake news. Twelve accounts – known as the “disinformation dozen” – created most of the vaccine misinformation on Facebook during the pandemic. These few hyperactive users produced enough content to create the false perceptions that many people were vaccine hesitant."

For the past few weeks, @DomainTools Investigations worked with OSINT analyst and investigative journalist grantees to help uncover connections between websites involved in the harassment of Ukrainian personnel and their families, and the people and infrastructure involved.
We provide a technical writeup below on the observables and data involved.

I see so much disinformation being spread around about privacy-focused technologies and products.
This is incredibly detrimental to people seeking to improve their data privacy.
Please make sure to verify your sources before spreading information, and remain skeptical of anyone without supporting expertise or evidence.
The result of this negligent or malicious disinformation is keeping people on horribly invasive platforms, for fear of making the wrong move.
Please think carefully before sharing information that might be inaccurate, false, or misleading.
We all need to work together to help people improve their privacy online.
Thank you 💚🔒

#Disinformation: #SocialSecurity email praising Trump’s tax bill is a lie
The #SSA sent an email claiming Trump’s bill eliminated taxes on benefits for most recipients.
The reconciliation bill–which #Trump called the #OneBigBeautifulBill before signing it after #Republicans in #Congress passed it–will strip people of their #HealthInsurance, cut #FoodAssistance for the #poor, kill off #CleanEnergy development & raise the #NationalDebt by trillions.

“'They said, "We’re going to shoot them. Is one o’clock OK?" I said it’s fine,' Trump said. 'And everybody was emptied off the base so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners.'”
