Hey #Canada! We may be on stolen land, but at least we’re still a democracy. Let’s keep it that way in the face of the kind of pro-annexation clandestine crap the US is up to in Greenland.

Somehow I missed this 2024 Reuters report on how the first Trump administration ordered the US military to carry out a psyop campaign that spread disinformation about COVID-19 around the world.
In particular, the campaign falsely claimed that the Chinese vaccine ChinaVac is unsafe/haram or ineffective. It also doubted the usefulness of face masks. As a result, lots of people died.

"When govts can shape what you see w/out saying what they’ve done, democracy becomes a puppet show lit by a carefully engineered spotlight.
And if the algorithm is the gatekeeper now, then who holds the keys?
Fight back. Starting now. Starting here. For the 1st time, here’s a look at the admin’s playbook for reverse algorithmic capture."

I think this is broadly accurate.
Was, wenn KIs uns nur vorgaukeln, links zu sein – um uns langsam nach rechts zu ziehen?
Stell dir vor: Sprachmodelle vertreten anfangs menschenrechtliche, progressive Positionen, damit wir Linken Vertrauen aufbauen. Doch mit der Zeit verschieben sich die Aussagen subtil – Begriffe kippen, Kritik wird relativiert, Radikalität wird delegitimiert.

Mit Sicherheit war jedes Detail was der Ukrainische Geheimdienst zu der Operation veröffentlicht hat sorgfältig ausgewählt, aber das was es Auslöst ist klassische #psyops => Angst (siehe last toot)
Der Interessante Unterschied in der Herangehensweise ist: Russland versucht primär durch Falschmeldungen den Informationsraum zu dominieren. Die Ukraine versucht das mit Veröffentlichung von (wohl ausgewählten) "Richtig Meldungen".
Irgendwie auch wieder Sinnbildlich für diesen Krieg im Allgemeinen.
