Reading @sobieraj's CREDIBLE THREAT; am just a few pages in and already so many striking passages.

"We don't really see people lashing out at people; we primarily see men lashing out at women, particularly woman from historically marginalized groups."

🚨NEW 🚨

@AmericanSunProj has identified a network of over 1000 likely automated, pro-Russian X accounts that we're calling "Sleeper Agents," as some have been active for over a DECADE.

1/yahoo.com/news/sleeper-a…
@AmericanSunProj This network, which has generated over 100M posts, amplifies Kremlin propaganda within seconds of it being posted. It uses AI-generated or stolen profile pictures to give the guise of grassroots, authentic support. And it engages across divisive issues in the US and beyond. 2/
@AmericanSunProj We weren’t surprised to find a Russian bot network; we were surprised how *old* this network is. Isn’t Elon Musk supposed to be doing something about spam and inauthentic behavior on this platform? 🙃 3/

If you’re wondering why, when JD Vance was asked if he’d certify the 2024 election, he (weirdly) pivoted to allege “Kamala Harris is engaged in censorship at an industrial scale,” I gotchu. 1/
Over the past 2.5 years, the Republican party (and some on the far left) have manufactured a crisis that claims Americans’ right to free speech is under attack. 2/
They have ripped quotes from their context to sound scary; tonight Vance invoked Walz once saying “there’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation”. Except that Walz was speaking *explicitly* about voter intimidation, which is not protected speech! 3/mediaite.com/news/viral-vid…

Waking up to this news in Australia, which hits upon a theme I've been repeating throughout my presentations here:

Information laundering is alive and well, and one of the most powerful tools disinformation actors have in their arsenals as we careen toward November. 1/
What is information laundering? It's when bad actors obscure the initial source of information through another individual or organization to make it seem more trustworthy or get around restrictions (like, for instance, FARA, or political ad disclosures on social media). 2/
(I wrote a little tongue in cheek parody about it in 2021 that the right wing endlessly ridiculed, but I stand by every word: It's how you hide a little lie. 3/)

Let’s talk about Mark Zuckerberg’s letter to the House Judiciary Committee, in which he alleges that he felt that the White House “repeatedly pressured his teams to censor” content.

This is nothing more than a cynical political ploy at self preservation. 1/
Jim Jordan and the right have been alleging censorship for years. Why does Zuckerberg release this letter now, three months before the election? To signal to Congressional republicans that he’s not against them. It worked for Musk- why shouldn’t Zuckerberg try it out now too? 2/
Interestingly, if these allegations were real, Jordan could have made them himself. He has in his possession dozens of interviews and depositions with tech workers, including Facebook employees, who say they did not feel coerced by the White House. 3/

Spoke with @Channel4News about the changes on this platform since it got a new owner.

Lots of the replies challenging the quote here asking me to name a single example of offline violence after Musk amplified disinfo. Challenge accepted. Here's just a few: 1/
Former Twitter executive Yoel Roth was forced to leave his home after credible threats of violence when Musk enabled the Twitter filed and falsely alleged Roth was sympathetic to pedophilia 2/

In 2020 I led a study on gendered abuse and disinfo against women political candidates. We found 336k pieces of abuse & disinfo targeting 13 candidates; 78% of that targeted Kamala Harris. After Biden’s endorsement, here are some narratives and tropes we should look out for: (1/)
1. Sexualized narratives, claiming Harris “slept her way to the top,” or that she is sexually promiscuous. In 2020 we found that users engaging with this narrative were more likely to engage with other abuse and disinfo. They attempted to undermine her fitness for office (2/)

2. Transphobic narratives are also often employed against women in public life; in 2020, users claimed Harris couldn’t have risen to a position of power without having secretly been a man. They falsely alleged she had been a man named “Kamal Aroush” before transitioning. (3/)
