Interesting podcast from Zack Polanski talking to investigative reporter Carole Cadwalladr about big tech's links to far Right politics, Russian interference in our politics and why they are both still on Twitter...

RE: https://mamot.fr/@imacrea/115977976198245094
Current status: fuming with rage at the SHEER INEPTITUDE of the French press in covering W Social and Mastodon.
In the article linked below "journalist" François Saltiel wrote that @Gargron "quit his own network [Mastodon] because he was fed up with the behavior of certain users."
Eugen referred to deleting his bridge to Bluesky, not quitting Mastodon FFS.
You should know Mr. Saltier simply rehashed W Social's press release and failed to mention it is a fork of Bluesky...
"Journalism" today
yup
we are on #mastodon/ #fediverse because the profit motive in corporate #socialMedia means privacy defilement, free reign for bigotry/ ignorance, and #algorithm manipulation by #plutocracy agendas
the same applies to the #news #media:
#ventureCapital takes over dying traditional media outlets and puts right wing goons in the managing editor positions
we have nonprofit news ( #NPR, #ProPublica, #TheGuardian, etc)
trust them
all else: beware

dear #TheGuardian daily newspaper,
we at #FattoQuotidiano never published *speculations*: we published verified info revealing that #ICE officers will be at the #WinterOlympicsParalympics in #Milan
After 3 days of denials-confirmation
#Meloni government finally admitted it

I imagine that the UX designers at The Guardian have the best intentions but probably go home and cry in the shower after work.
@matt Also, my #TheGuardian tab regularly crashes in chrome, and I have to reload. Sometimes in the middle of reading an article.

Great piece in @TheGuardian by @pluralistic on how now that we're all suffering from the tariffs that were threatened if we enabled right to repair, didn't enact DMCA type legislation, etc. we should look to strike those consumer-unfriendly rules from our books and make some good of Brexit...

@_elena @EUCommission there are very few websites with Mastodon icons. Including #theguardian #commonweal #thenational and government petitions. Wonder why that is..

Dear #Guardian #TheGuardian - wtf is wrong with you?! The story is fine, but the headline is unbelievable! "Family of victim in #Trump drug boat killings files first formal complaint" - what? "Drug boat?!" There is no evidence whatsoever that these boats are carrying drugs! This headline validates Trump´s specious claim! Not to mention that drug offences in the US are not capital offences, and even if these boats were "drug boats", the #US has no right to murder people for an ostensible drug offence. Egad, Guardian. What has become of you? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/02/trump-caribbean-drug-boat-attack-complaint
@Cdespinosa "Most dangerous of all is that this lack of commitment is transparently obvious to all involved, turning negotiations into long-winded exercises in bad faith, where the game is to be able to trade recriminations over failure, and a mediator (in the shape of Trump) who is often the most unreliable and bad faith actor." #theguardian #uspol

@urlyman I'm trying to lighten-up. Acc to the Graun front page layout, sport is now more important than climate change - or is that the G trying to lighten up?
