       @EUCommission Research shows it clearly: a tiny fraction of supersharers—many from coordinated troll farms—are responsible for spreading the vast majority of misinformation. Yet institutions keep blaming everyday people for the problem.https://www.science.org/content/article/tiny-number-supersharers-spread-vast-majority-fake-newsStop shifting responsibility onto victims!We won't solve misinformation by policing individual shares when the real sources operate at scale. We won't reduce pollution by asking families to recycle while corporations emit freely. We won't address climate change through personal choices when billionaires fly private jets and yachts.The pattern is the same: systemic problems require systemic solutions. Targeting individuals while ignoring the infrastructure of disinformation is both ineffective and unfair.The EU Commission's post misses the mark entirely.

       @stux If it were about protecting children online, we'd be teaching them how to use VPNs and zero-knowledge DNS filtering.

       As some of you know, I've been harvesting newspaper headlines for a linguistic study of propaganda techniques in online publications. Currently reviewing precision and recall of my Python detection scripts.Just came across this gem: "Pregnant Alaska flight attendant was badly-scalded by EXPLODING coffee made by posh Portland roastery, lawsuit claims."The actual story: a person sues a café over a hot beverage.Gotta love tabloids.#linguistics #media
