🚨 THREAD 🚨

A few weeks after the release of the Digital Services Act consultation, the European Commission has now opened the consultation on the European Democracy Action Plan.

We really encourage that anyone working to tackle disinformation shares their experience!
🗣️ What are these consultations?

These are public consultations for two crucial European regulatory files that will contribute to tackling disinformation. Public consultations are a key part of the European policymaking process.
🗣️ Who should get involved?

From OSINT investigators to fact-checkers, anyone involved in tackling disinformation should submit a contribution and have their voice heard.
🗣️ Should I answer all of the questions?

Not at all, you should answer the questions where you think you can contribute your expertise.
The public consultation on the Digital Services Act can be found via the link below ▶️

📅 It will run until 08/09

#IndianChronicles: Since yesterday, international media have covered our investigation, including BBC, Politico, Le Monde, EFE.
Here is what they found: 👇👇👇
In Brussels, @POLITICOEurope focused on the actors behind EU Chronicle – the same as behind EP Today last year: Madi Sharma.
They also reveal that MEPs @tobiszowski 🇵🇱 & @marctarabella 🇧🇪 claim to have been abused by #IndianChronicles.

On @EURACTIV, MEP 🇧🇬 @djambazki, who is cited as one of the authors of EU Chronicle content, declared that he never "submitted any text" and is "looking into legal actions to resolve this issue”.

REVEALED: Indian Chronicles – how a massive 15-year influence operation successfully targeted the EU & UN with 750+ fake local media and 10+ zombie-NGOs.

Executive Summary & full report: indianchronicles.eu
Here are the facts 👇 (1/n) Image
Indian Chronicles’ key objective is to undermine Pakistan internationally.

To do so, they resurrected dead NGOs at the UN.

They impersonated the EU.

They laundered content produced by fake media to real media - and reached millions in South-Asia & across the world. (2/n)
Our new investigation began with a shocking discovery: @MartinSchulz, former President of the European Parliament, was said to have left politics.

But instead, it seemed he was now heading Canners International, a NGO dedicated to the promotion of… food in cans 🥫! (3/n) Image

UNCOVERED: How two information portals - OneWorld.press & ObservateurContinental.fr - hide their ties to InfoRos – a news agency previously linked to Russian military intelligence (GRU) according to reports by @washingtonpost and @stanfordio (1/n) disinfo.eu/publications/h…
In March 2020, we stumbled across an article from the French website “Observateur Continental” repropagating the false claim from the US law professor Francis Boyle about “COVID-19 being a perfect bioweapon”. (2/n) lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/…
Created in April 2019, ObservateurContinental.fr presents itself as an “independent and non-profit information portal”. There are no mentions of any editorial leadership nor information about the ownership structure. (3/n)

1) Uncovered: How an anonymous Spanish alternative blog, which spreads disinformation items and polarizing content, has been using the Amazon Associates program to fund its activities.
2) La Verdadera Izquierda (meaning “the True Left” in Spanish) began in 2011 as a Twitter account and blog with the goal of "unmasking the lies of the left and socialism in this great country called Spain”. It attracted around 38K followers before its suspension in April 2020.
3)The blog appeared several times on our radar as a disinformation propagator, mostly because it regularly copy-pasted content from websites spreading disinformation. maldita.es/malditobulo/20…

UNCOVERED: How the so-called French media outlet “France Libre 24” – which uses disinformation to sow polarisation in society – hides the fact that it’s managed by a controversial Polish far-right media network. (1/20)
Several months ago, our attention was caught by a newcomer in the French online media landscape - France Libre 24, which sounds like the French news TV channel France24. (2/20)
FL24.net presents a large majority of its articles as being sourced from French mainstream media (@AFPfr, @LeMondeFr, @LePoint, etc.) - a practice that gives FL24.net an aura of legitimacy. (3/20)

BREAKING: We uncovered 2 Facebook pages managed from Ukraine that support Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon – leaders of 2 major French political parties (far-right and far-left).
They contain a substantial amount of disinformation.

Thread ⬇️ (1/16)
Our investigation began when we stumbled across linfonational.net – a website with some content that had already been fact-checked by AFP and Libération CheckNews. (2/16)
We noticed that the Facebook page “Marine Le Pen 2022” (30k followers) had very actively shared content from this obscure media outlet registered in Ukraine, and that the page itself is managed from Ukraine. (3/16)
