Just finished S2 of #BBC podcast “I’m Not a Monster”, uncovering former ISIS wife fundraising via #cryptocurrency, masked as charity.
It reminded me of @aeowinpact.bsky.social’s talk at #Disinfo2024 on the “cyber caliphate”.
Highly recommend the podcast & checking INPACT / All Eyes on Wagner!

2nd Recap #DISINFO2024 🔄
#disinformation as a weapon of war?!
@Hamza_Alkateab said that "they [regime & affiliated actors] want to plant #fear in the whole community". So even if a situation is complex, we should not follow simple explanations as it accelerates the spread of disinformation.
#Disinfo2024 came to an end last week after two days of panels and discussions about our digital landscape and the health of our democracies.
✨Thanks to @disinfo.eu for being a vital hub for our community.

Ik was niet alleen in Riga om Letse zoete broodsoep te proberen. Verslag van #Disinfo2024, waar factcheckers, techbedrijven, beleidsmakers en ngo's een onwennig gelegenheidsfront probeerden te smeden tegen (Russische) desinformatie. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/...
1st Recap #disinfo2024 🔁
Dace Melbārde (Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) spoke about how to disrupt #disinformation. We'd need a multi-line strategy with
(1) sustainable and reliable #media
(2) a #resilient population &
(3) targeted communication that includes sanctions to regulate media
And just like that, #Disinfo2024 has come to an end! 🥹
A huge thank you to all the speakers, attendees, and the team for two days of inspiring discussions and exchanges ✨
Onward in tackling disinformation! 💪👋
