This is fine meme but the dog is the university sitting in the fire and saying “at least we are #1”
Spent the last two days at #Etmaal2025 presenting our work in progress on countering AI-generated visual disinformation (w/@marinatulin.bsky.social, Michael Hameleers & @claesdevreese.bsky.social ). Loved connecting with old and new friends and was very impressed by the high level of presentations!👏
Great presentation on fact-checking and trust by BENEDMO colleagues Ferre Wouters, @michaelopgenhaffen.bsky.social and @bzar.bsky.social. And no, Zuckerberg is not right. Love it when *researchers add context* 😎
Did anyone call the VVD in the Netherlands to check what happened when they legitimized Wilders in the last election?
Leading the VVD party to loose to Wilders and become a smaller coalition partner in a far right government.
How to hold social media platforms accountable?
Currently: The Code of Practice on Disinformation.
But getting depth, tracking performance on structural indicators is not ...easy. @teresaelena.bsky.social, @marinatulin.bsky.social, Hameleers and 🙋suggest improvements.
