I was told my private communications may have been hacked & released via a Russian state media journalist. He sent only a threatening message accusing me of ‘targeting’ people & promising to damage my career - no right of reply to an article in good faith. This isn’t journalism.
I am aware people are sharing an article from a Russian state-affiliated website and it is based on material that may have been criminally obtained - the material has not been authenticated and the attack is being investigated.
Some are suggesting hacking is fine? Those who use unethical tactics to obtain information have no principles and often falsify, lie & distort what they put out. These are classic tactics of influence operations & I would hope those who research propaganda would understand this.

No Chloe it doesn’t mean that. Regularly in information warfare hacked information is misrepresented and doctored. I’ve even written about this before, many have. I’ve also already said I have not even heard of the events described. Image
Not only do I have no idea about what’s in this article. I’m going to comment the veracity of any articles on what is claimed to be my personal stolen data in any article by people regularly excusing and promoting a murderous dictator.

I’m at an interesting event today about #AI and the US military at the national press club ImageImageImage
Currently listening to the Co-founder of #Deepmind talking about reliability and error and AI… now the discussion is moving to implementation of ethical principles with #AI and Dr Jane Pinelis from JAIC.
Fascinating discussion- someone is asking how DOD can “measure trust” - this is interpreted as measuring ‘reliance’ - how much they can rely on technology. They also consider how human behaviour interacts ie how military use the technology, user behaviour with it. Image

Me watching people who research media systems talk about what ‘propaganda’ is.
People need to understand propaganda isn’t media bias. These are separate, different problems. There’s maybe a relationship between them, so structural issues with the media can let propaganda sneak through. But propaganda is a wholly different thing to study… if you understand
and research the media or social media or even advertising or even commercial PR or political economy of these things - you may have parts of the relevant knowledge but this isn’t the study of propaganda.
