The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have continued to distribute fake local newspapers promoting their candidates in the 2024 general election, despite criticism of the practice from media groups and journalists.
The Liberal Democrat examples all used newspaper-style names, for example the “Tunbridge Wells Telegraph”, the “West Dorset Courier”, the “North East Fife Gazette” or the “Harborough, Oadby & Wigston Herald”.
examples of election misinformation have included:
Fake news articles branded like a recognised news source with genuine journalists’ bylines
A campaigner for one of the political parties captured on a doorbell video camera in Birmingham and given fake captions for on online video
Campaigning literature designed to look like local newspapers.
And much more, especially AI generated images, etc....
Nothing you share is "breaking news" so just stop & think beforehand 😉
With the pace of our lives… you see something, you like it, you share it, you move on. It’s very fast moving, and sometimes maybe we don’t stop and think.

Candace Owens revealed another area of her expertise this week. She reported that she has learned everything there is to know about geology and is now casting doubt on whether the world is round. she said, "I'm not a flat earther. I'm not a round earther. Actually, what I am is I am somebody who has left the cult of science."
“Science, what it is actually, if you think about it, is a pagan faith”
@process eeeeewwwwww
@SimplyZippy if you use Android switch to Aegis
No phone number required
Aegis doesn’t support automatic cloud backups out of the box unless you use Nextcloud. However, it offers automatic local backups and allows you to export your data manually.
most important features are security, backups and customization.
#TipsAndTricks ^^^^
Use Aegis instead 😝

Android:

Aegis has not, to my knowledge, suffered from any security incidents. It’s also open source so anyone can vet its code
Authy was hacked back in 2022 also, with bad actors adding new devices to the accounts of 93 Authy users - fool me once blah, blah, blah 😝
Authy shouldn't be trusted anymore
Twilio has confirmed that unauthorized actors had identified phone numbers associated with users of its Authy two-factor authentication app.
The disclosure comes after a hacker claimed last week to have obtained 33 million phone numbers from Twilio.

Google's 2030 "Net zero" target looks increasingly doubtful as AI use soars.
The company’s pollution amounted to 14.3 million tonnes of carbon equivalent in 2023, a 48 percent increase from its 2019 baseline and a 13 percent rise since last year, Google said in its annual environmental report on Tuesday.
