US accused of meddling in #British politics with $500,000 grant for public #education


Documents published on #US embassy’s website prompt claims of attempt to export #Maga #propaganda to #UK

Using language that the pro-Trump Maga movement has sought to appropriate, a funding notice identifies a goal of fostering a “national conversation” about “shared civilizational values” underpinning US-UK ties. Priority will go to applicants aiming to celebrate “freedom of speech” and “limited government”.

This should be a viral national story in #US. After this team unanimously unionized, Google refused to come to the bargaining table.

A resolution supporting the workers was brought to the city council. The day the workers showed up to testify on the resolution, Google laid off the entire team.

This was the precise instant when YouTube Music employees became aware that we had lost our jobs, as we were addressing the City Council.

In the upcoming #US #presidential #election, Biden and Trump are on the #ballot. Both may have cognitive limitations, but let's not beat around the bush – some question Trump's mental sharpness too. So, let's play a round of "Top #Trumps" to compare who's more fit for the job.

Well, maybe we should measure it by who has fewer limitations, senility-wise?

So draw a card and let's compare:

Senility:
Biden 40, Trump 60

Erectile dysfunction:
Biden 40, Trump 60

Biden is leading for now, but what's the next card, and who will be the better #seniorcitizen?
It's not just about memory lapses; it's about leadership and vision. So, who's got the edge?

The US must act to end the Gaza disaster

The United States must make clear to Netanyahu that we will not provide another dollar to support his inhumane, illegal war

The US understands the threat of foreign tech companies/apps gathering data on US citizens and manipulating their behaviour and is looking to ban TikTok.

Dear @EU_Commission, here’s an incomplete list of foreign tech companies/apps gathering data on EU citizens and manipulating their behaviour:

- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.)
- Alphabet, Inc. (Google, YouTube, etc.)
- Twitter, Inc.
- Microsoft (Windows, etc.)
- Snap, Inc.

Thoughts?

For those of you, like me, watching America’s rapid descent into fascism in abject horror from the sidelines in Europe, remember: where America goes, the West soon follows. If we don’t like where that is, we must do better than doing the same things and hoping for different outcomes.

What I’m saying is America is a warning, not an instruction manual.

Decentralization is the only way to systemically fight social media disinformation

#Russia 's information warfare in the #US didn't stop after Trump was elected. And US social network giants have failed to address it in the last 4 years. Partly because they directly benefit from content engagement, partly because as centralized platforms with billions of users, they naturally offer a bigger incentive to spread misinformation than any effort they are willing to mount to fight it.

The real solution, of course, is breaking the system into human-sized parts, through #decentralization. Even the biggest english-speaking #Fediverse instance has only 400,000 users, which makes it a mediocre target for misinformation with no opportunity for paid reach towards the nearly 3 million #Fediverse users.

You too can join the Fediverse and reduce paid agitators' incentive: https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse/

In the #US, "Over the Counter" describes non-prescription drugs. Which makes no sense, since prescription drugs are the only ones sold over an actual counter. On the contrary, "Over the Counter" drugs are found in pharmacy aisles.
