This morning. Reality does not seem to matter anymore. It is a show. No justice, no truth, no respect, no limits.
Be #aware: it is a designed strategy to keep people and analysts disoriented. They are against the people, including american people. #medialiteracy #policy

📢 EAVI is adding a new logo to its family: "Information and Democracy."

As the priorities in the digital environment change and the focus shifts to democracy and politics, we update our visual identity accordingly!

We will continue to use both logos and apply them accordingly to our activities.

Name the threat - powerful malicious forces are against people, rights, nature and civilisation - they want absolute power, it is again, fascism.

Do not assume that someone else will take responsibility.

Voice your fears, trust your instincts, and join communities - fighting back is #empowering.

Hello world! Meet our consortium—15 organizations, 10 countries—joining forces to rethink the digital political information space. 🚀

Last week, we kicked off our project WHAT-IF, setting the stage to build a digital twin that will help us test the impact of policy interventions.

More in the 🧵!

Vice president of USA Vance in Munich is the same guy saying that universities, teachers, students and #education are the enemy.
Soon they will start to burn books?
As often in history eventually knowledge and wisdom will prevail.

But only when students take action.

DeepSeek is a welcome player in the AI market. Unlike ChatGPT, it is open source, promoting transparency and collaboration.

Europe’s AI initiatives, ideally led by public services, should follow now, for innovation and the #AIAct.

European data are not safer in USA than in China. #mediafreedom

According to Oxfam, in 2020, the richest 1% of the global population holds more than twice as much wealth as 6.900.000.000 (6.9 billion people).

Imagine a table full of a lot of food but only one person eats everything and the other 85 fight for the crumbs.

It is the reality, it is wrong.

Where are (European) thinkers today?

I had hoped that "high-level" would refer to global thinkers, knowledge, wisdom, and a commitment to solving new problems.

Unfortunately it seems instead to simply refer to those who hold institutional positions. We need thinkers but so far are marginalised.

Fear blocks the future; it is incompatible with freedom and democracy, making people inactive. It fuels right-wing and obscurantism. Hope drives the fight for meaningful causes. hope sees ahead. Rises against silence, fear has nothing to say. Thinking means hoping; media literacy embodies hope (BCA

Let’s use determination and courage to stand up for what we value, and join communities who share these values.

Let’s think in terms of 'us' and the greater good, with creativity and permission to be rebellious.

Finding our voice becomes more important than pleasing everyone and staying quiet.

Trump, Bolsonaro, Orban, Putin, Farage. They know how to win an election. Democracies are still in the stone age of media in the interest of a few. “Worst is yet to come: journalism had failed. Authorities had failed. Politics had failed. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @eavi-medialiteracy.bsky.social

Arguing that media literacy is a rather obsolete concept and, instead, we should embrace new concepts such as "the art of living in the digital environment" which better capture the complexities of the digital age. @eavi-medialiteracy.bsky.social
