In this documentary, Guan Heng provided crucial corroboration for many of the detention facilities that @alisonkilling.bsky.social , @meghara.bsky.social and I published in “Built to Last”. His hearing takes place on Monday, December 15 in New York.

Guan Heng took on enormous personal risks to provide this crucial evidence of sever human rights violations. He had no other plausible reason for being at many of the detention sites, since they are in remote locations with little else around.

In August Guan Heng was arrested in upstate New York and is threatened by deportation to China, a severe risk to his wellbeing and even his life. Guan Heng showed exceptional bravery and courage producing his documentary.

"Foreign journalists can hardly gain access to Xinjiang. But, good for me I can." With these words Guan Heng starts his documentary providing crucial evidence of mass incarcerations of muslim minorities in Xinjiang, China. He had to flee to the US.
ICE arrested him. A threat to his life.
It was such a pleasure to sit in @nikolausf.substack.com's laundry room. Our full conversation (in German) on law, journalism and AI ...

Im Investigativ-Journalismus behandeln wir Sachlagen so, wie wir sie antreffen, nicht, wie wir sie gerne hätten. Das gilt auch für KI. Wir müssen den Hype und technologischen Determinismus rundum KI investigativ beleuchten.

Die Gefahr von KI ist nicht, dass sie intelligenter ist als wir, sondern dass wir glauben, dass sie intelligenter ist, als sie wirklich ist.

Danke @laurinlorenz.bsky.social für das tolle Gespräch. Ich freue mich auf mehr Diskussionen am Samstag beim @journalismusfest.bsky.social.
@404media.co's Samantha Cole and @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social report that Mr. Deepfakes is done. Our probe revealed the website hosted 55,000+ non-consensual deepfake videos and nearly 1 million user accounts.
It won't be missed.

Folterer Putin: „Ein altes Feldtelefon, Modell TA-57, dient oft als Folterinstrument. Ein Drehen an der Kurbel und schon fließt Strom durch die daran befestigten Körperteile, meist Genitalien, Finger oder Ohren. Diese Foltertechnik wird auch ‚Anruf bei Putin‘ genannt.“ www.spiegel.de/ausland/russ...
This story is part of the Viktoriia project launched today by @forbidden-stories.bsky.social and 12 partners. It tells the story of journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna, who paid with her life to expose Russia's secret torture prisons.

Our deep dive into the systematic use of torture in Russian prisons against Ukrainian civilians and POWs. Standing out from this list of prisons is SIZO2 in Taganrog.

Vielen Dank @solmazkhorsand.bsky.social für dieses tolle Gespräch. Es hat mir viel Spass gemacht, etwas über meine Arbeit zu plaudern. Datengestützte Recherche eröffnen viele innovative Möglichkeiten, sowohl im Journalismus, als auch in der Menschenrechtsarbeit, um Verletzungen zu dokumentieren.
The article has been translated into English. Read here about our investigation into AI-generated Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery and the people and businesses behind it. This version is also *not* behind the paywall.

Gemeinsam mit @christobuschek.net habe ich mir den neuesten Bericht des Counter Disinformation Network angesehen.
Die Ergebnisse überraschen nicht und sind deshalb erschreckend. Die großen Plattformen pfeifen weitgehend drauf, wenn sanktionierte Propagandisten weiterhin ihre Desinformation streuen.
Der fantastische @alexfanta.bsky.social hat mich heute zum Aufmacher in den Republikanischen Club eingeladen. Wir werden über Datengestützte Recherche und so einiges anderes reden. Ich freue mich schon sehr.

New Release! Most AI deepfakes aren't political. 90% of deepfakes are non-consensual intimate imagery. 99% of victims are women. Max Hoppensted, @rechercheur.bsky.social, @romanhoefner.bsky.social, and I uncover a deepfake community and the business behind undress apps www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web...
Let's make a more diverse osint starter pack - a 50/50 m/f split and a move away from westerners would be great. I've made a start (and yes, it's currently lots of men/westerners - help me shift the balance!) Can the community help me crowd source this?

Very important exploration of LAION-5B by @jerthorp.bsky.social and @christobuschek.bsky.social that will definitely require a 2nd+ read-through to grasp the depth of the dataset and of their investigation.

How do AI models get their worldview?
We had the pleasure to visualize the investigation of @jerthorp.bsky.social and @christobuschek.bsky.social on the LAION-5B data set this week and built a 3D model of 5.8 billion books pages, filling roughly 58 large libraries.

The AI field’s goal is nothing less than to transform the world.
But what are the foundations upon which this transformation is built?
In this investigation, Christo Buschek and I looked at LAION-5B, the only open-source foundation dataset currently available:
