vendita limitata ai soli abbonati e noi tifosi a distanza di macchina siamo rimasti fregati. avevo giá guardato i parcheggi vicino allo stadio come per la trasferta con l'Ajax dell'Union...

The move is tied to American politics (relocating teams from California to Texas is a clear signal).
But the consequences will be global, especially in conflict zones and politically unstable countries where Meta's platforms are THE internet.
Expect more cases like Myanmar and Ethiopia

While information warfare might have provided some tactical gains, spreading misinformation does not make any society safer. Misleading audiences only leads to more polarisation, and an increase in hatred and discrimination, including antisemitic and Islamophobic messages

There are many other cases. But misinformation was particularly effective at telling a one-dimensional story of a multi-dimensional conflict—one that left out decades of occupation, blockade of Gaza, and systematic violence against the Palestinians.

When on Feb. 29, Israeli troops fired at starving Palestinians trying to get food from an aid convoy in Gaza, the IDF released edited footage and pro-Israel accounts blamed civilians for threatening Israeli troops, trying to sow doubt about whether shots were fired.

An Israeli airstrike most probably hit a convoy of civilians fleeing on an evacuation route? Hundreds of pro-Israel accounts pretending to be OSINT shifted focus to an unrelated side-road explosion for which they blamed Hamas. One such tweet was viewed more than 1.1 million times

A lot of the misinformation has focused on 'operational events'. As the war raged, every fact has become contested. For every investigation into a firefight or a bombing, there is an alternative framing of events.
