How Online Radicalisation Works: What the New X Study Reveals About Cambridge Analytica, the IRA, and the Dark Triad Machine The debate is over. A major new experiment show how effective Cambridge Analytica and Russian troll farms were in shifting political emotions with hostile, anti-democratic content online

For nearly a decade, sceptics have dismissed allegations that Bannon’s Cambridge Analytica and Prigozhin’s troll farms successfully intervened in the Brexit referendum and Trump’s election in 2016 - now the argument is over

Up to 60k, go on, give it a share.

i can finally talk about this! 20k more unredacted epstein emails available to journalists and researchers (there's lots of sensitive info in there and things like victims are not redacted)! this is the same trove bloomberg has been working with, which is different from the gmail dataset.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

The richest man in the world is an ignorant, demented racist provocateur. Who would have thought

YouTube video by Byline TV The Thiel Effect.

Labour. Conservatives. Reform.
Peter Thiel’s fingerprints are on them all — an ideological pincer movement pulling Britain toward MAGA-style autocracy.
My first @BylineTimes video investigation exposes how.

Meet the man who built RFK Jr.’s kitchen cabinet Jeffrey Tucker, who elevated Covid contrarians now working for the health secretary, is building support for Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again agenda.

Major media FINALLY starts paying attention to the Brownstone Institute.

I’ve been covering this group for years and Jeffrey Tucker’s influence in this administration.

This Politico story adds new layers like sexual harassment allegations against Tucker and Heritage Foundation sponsoring a retreat

If you've not read this interview with Greta, get on it.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads: “The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

The Great X-Tinction: Why My Time's Up On Twitter Otto English explains why, after 15 years, he has left the social media platform now disseminating disinformation worldwide under the control of Elon Musk

The Geat X-Tinction.

From an in-house chat app to the most dangerous social media site in history.

The magical flight and tragic decline of twitter.

And why I left.

'Blue Labour' and the Thiel Effect: How MAGA Is Making In-Roads Into British Politics The ideology of the ‘Make America Great Again’ movement, which has transformed politics in the United States, is having an impact in the UK. But how is this influence being transmitted?

EXCLUSIVE: Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel behind Trump exporting MAGA playbook to Britain - embedding across three parties: Blue Labour, Tories, Reform - via a network of race science believers. By me with @peterjukes.bsky.social via @bylinetimes.bsky.social

I really do think we need to see the rape and abuse of women and children as not like a peculiar indulgence or hypocrisy of the right, but as a foundational practice from which their worldview proceeds. Rape is the metaphor from which they draw their other conclusions about domination and hierarchy.

We always knew the free speech absolutists were absolutists first and foremost. A great silencing is going on in the US, worse than McCarthyism

Weird, indeed.

The owner of one of the biggest platforms calling for violence on the streets of the UK is absolutely the limit of what is acceptable, that platform should be removed from the UK until certain conditions are met as legislated by our government. The sooner the better for all of us.

the media rush to canonize charlie kirk is legitimately maybe one of the weirdest things of this nature i have ever seen in my life

They'll turn him into a martyr to justify their repression.

You and I are richer than Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. because we can afford not to polish the boots of the authoritarian clown.

Something we need to grasp is that Establishment power meant imperialism. Imperialism is a system of thought that sees upper class white men as the pinnacle of humanity, with a sacred duty to control the lives of others. What we now call the far right is an extension and revival of imperialism.

This is the consequence of treating antivax conspiracy theorists as though they were experts

Mainstream right wing outlets in the UK have done a lot to validate these cranks and have been attacking efforts to tackle disinformation

Some of us warned this would happen

Something I don’t think gets explored enough is just how much the evisceration of the federal government we’re seeing is the result of America’s right-wing oligarchs being scared as hell by COVID-era expansions of the safety net and the popularity of those relief programs.

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.

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏

What should frighten us all is that this is not common knowledge. This explicitly anti-life ideology is being successfully enacted in the US right now, and without unified pushback it will spread.
