okay this is too real

the research community urgently needs reliable open source web archiving platform beyond the wayback machine or archive[.]ph. too much social evidence is being lost as social media platforms change, decay, or disappear. #societalharms

It's demoralizing in a way I wasn't expecting. All we can do is prepare the best we can and hope our skills are useful when the time comes.

I know what you mean.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January

This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.

In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

yeah, didn't proofread closely enough bsky.app/profile/john...

This is the airbase in which VIP/gov't flights would have departed from. It is generally host to the Presidential transport (A319CJ 0001) and a bunch of mil/gov't private jets, liaison planes and helicopters.
