#BakhtiyarHajiyev, Azerbaijani pro-democracy activist, is celebrating his birthday today behind bars. Earlier this year, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison on politically-motivated charges. As if that was not enough, the authorities also confiscated his apartment & bank money.

How the far-right used TikTok to spread lies and conspiracies - VSquare.org
TikTok feeds in CEE countries have been filled with conspiracy theories and fear-mongering — to the benefit of the far-right.
🇨🇳📵The problem with the TikTok ban? It doesn’t apply in Europe.
No matter how much the Chinese and their European lobbyists spend on PR, the platform poses a serious threat to the EU's national security and democracy.

Paweł Prus: Kobiety są poddawane działaniom dezinformacyjnym ze względu na płeć - WNET.fm
Prezes Instytutu Zamenhofa Paweł Prus mówi o raporcie na temat zagrożenia dezinformacji kobiet ze względu na płeć.
To najczęściej kobiety padają ofiarą ataków dezinformacji w mediach społecznościowych i jest to inna dezinformacja, niż w przypadku mężczyzn. Bardzo ciekawa rozmowa Jaśmina Nowak z @pawelprus.bsky.social w Radiu Wnet. wnet.fm/2025/01/15/p...
