This is horrifying. I deliberately don’t share my child online to protect her so to think a vigilante group like this would attack a nursery to blackmail them and then release the data because they didn’t get paid is absolutely sickening. How dare they use extortion and call it a helpful test?!

Donald Trump moaned he'd 'had enough' of beautiful things on UK state visit Lib Dem culture spokesperson Max Wilkinson said: "Well, that's gratitude for you! Perhaps next time we should offer him a tour of the local spray tan studio and a Happy Meal."

Lovely to see you too, Donald 😘

That headline imagr should read β€˜Trump administration makes absurd claim paracetamol causes autism’ followed by β€˜President appears to have abandoned any sense of logic or science in latest baseless claim’ in the caption.

Where are the journalists?!?!

You know shit’s getting worse when you find yourself reporting legitimate news outlets for spreading false information on Facebook.

Yes, it was the Daily Mail, and yes, it was Trump’s paracetamol/tylenol/autism B.S. but the click bait headline and image presented it as fact without scrutiny πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¬

It’s been a year since I was elected Cheltenham’s MP. It has been a privilege to serve the town. Together we have made progress. I’m heading into year two with as much determination as ever to do all I can to speak up for Cheltenham.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

MP falsely accused of calling Farage a 'c**t' in AI-edited video shared by Reform Footage originally taken from GB News was used by a local Reform Party to falsely claim a rival MP was abusive to Nigel Farage in Parliament

...to condemn these actions. As I told Sanya Burgess who investigated the matter, Nigel Farage says his party wants to be taken seriously but it seems from these kinds of underhanded online antics they’re clearly not ready for the responsibilities that come with power inews.co.uk/news/mp-fals... 2/2

Dear Mr. Clegg

I have started a business, selling the contents of your house

I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house

Without this access my company will not be profitable

Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree

Please advise how I should proceed

...our unwillingness to fight for a a say, and the fact that the majority of internal comms teams still consist of 1 or 2 people, even in large global organisations.

AI (in business at least) is creating a leadership vacuum, and prioritising C-suite politics over decisive action doesn't help.
