“Women’s health research is vulnerable to being co-opted and corrupted. The claim that the pill is a forever chemical is unsupported, and spreading that false narrative not only distorts science, but given the political climate, can be used to further misogynistic political goals.”

In The Age Of Misinformation, Climate Literacy Matters More Than Ever Climate education remains inconsistent, optional and disconnected from the realities students face every day. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than understanding, building climate and information literacy is how we begin to protect Hawai‘i’s future. Hawaiʻi’s students are already living the reality of climate change. From stronger storms to increased wildfire and drought risk, our youth can no longer afford purely symbolic gestures of change. Yet in many classrooms, climate education remains inconsistent, optional, and disconnected from the realities they face every day. This legislative session, a bill has once again been introduced that would require climate literacy education in Hawaiʻi Department of Education schools. House Bill 1925 has now crossed over to the Senate, signaling growing recognition that preparing young people for the future means ensuring we have the knowledge and tools to understand the environmental and civic systems shaping our lives. However, in the current political climate and among digital environments where social media often becomes a primary source of news for young people, climate literacy is also about understanding how misinformation spreads. When disasters occur or policies are debated online, misleading or incomplete information can spread quickly, shaping how communities understand risk, response, and responsibility. Building...

#HamishMacDonald from the #ABC did a hit piece on #GraceTame presenting her as anti-Semitic because she condemns Israel's genocide in Palestine. Now he wants to lecture us on the dangers of misinformation? The ABC really is a disgrace.

An Update on Tylenol, Pregnancy, and Autism: New Science in a Political Storm The evidence has grown stronger. So has the misinformation.

The FDA said Tylenol during pregnancy may cause autism. Now the best study yet confirms: no link to autism, and the ADHD signal disappears when you look at siblings in the same family.

Australia has to fight back against misinformation about climate change, Senate report says How can Australia tackle the scourge of online bots and trolls, and orchestrated disinformation campaigns, that are trying to prevent action on climate change and keep our economy reliant on fossil fuels? The Senate's select committee on information integrity on climate change and energy released its final report last week. It sounded an alarm about the health of Australia's digital town square and the erosion of trust in society, and said we have to clean up our online debates. "A robust information ecosystem is critical to the health of Australia's democracy and to its ability to meet the challenges arising from climate change — including the need to transition to renewable energy sources," the report argued. "However, the committee heard that the integrity of Australia's information ecosystem is threatened by a proliferation of misinformation and disinformation, which is polarising public discourse and eroding trust in science and knowledge institutions. "Worryingly, the committee heard that Australia has some of the highest levels of concern about information integrity globally." The majority report, backed by Labor, Liberal, and Greens senators, made 21 recommendations for the federal government. The recommendations have tried to strike a balance between the principles of free speech and expression,...

New tool identifies harmful nutrition misinformation and evaluates potential risk A new tool that not only identifies diet and nutrition misinformation online but also evaluates the content's risk for potential harm has been developed by a team of UCL researchers. Unlike existing tools, which offer binary judgements of whether content is 'true' or 'false', this first-of-its-kind tool addresses misinformation that is not overtly false but still has the potential to dangerously mislead, particularly among vulnerable groups. The tool's developers identified that 'true' or 'false' assessments fail to capture the cumulative and contextual ways in which misleading health information can influence behaviour and decision-making. Health misinformation spread online presents a major public health threat, according to the WHO. From restrictive diets and extreme fasting to the unsafe use of dietary supplements (estimated to account for 20% of drug-induced liver injuries in the US alone), misinformation can have disastrous, sometimes fatal, consequences. When it comes to diet and nutrition, misinformation often operates through selective framing that masks potential health risks. Harmful misleading content tends to fly under fact-checkers' radars and escape meaningful oversight until high-profile cases make the headlines." Alex Ruani, lead author and developer, UCL Institute of Education The tool, called Diet-Nutrition Misinformation Risk Assessment Tool or Diet-MisRAT, is a rule-based...

I am concerned about what will happen to future generations because of the decisions being made by this administration, especially if, in the future, #Robots acting as #teachers will be spewing #misinformation about what has occurred. 😞

This man went viral after surviving Bondi. Then the internet took a dark turn Arsen Ostrovsky was on the ground, bleeding, at the Bondi attack when he decided to take a selfie. Within 2 hours it was circulating on the internet. In less than a day, it had become fodder for a global conspiracy theory. #terrorist #attacks #disinformation #misinformation #world #politics

Community notes can help add context.

But they’re not a full replacement for professional fact-checking — especially globally.

Information integrity still depends on expertise, resources, and accountability.
