I was at the Cambridge Disinformation Summit summit last week.
I always welcome the chance to step out of the journalism space and engage with others professions. This time to discuss how to grapple with the same challenge: the growing impact of disinformation.

Gold price hits $3,000 for first time
The precious metal has surged nearly 11% since Donald Trump’s inauguration in January and over 13% year-to-date, driven by fears over US trade wars, inflation, and economic instability.

5/ Foreign actors are fanning the flames. A network of bots linked to Israel, Iran, Hezbollah, and even far-right Christian influencers is spreading divisive falsehoods to justify political agendas.

3/ One viral post even declared a young man named Ayham dead. But he’s alive. He posted a video debunking his own ‘death.' Another woman, falsely reported killed, had to step in and correct the lie too and ask Musk to remove the post from X

2/ Fake casualty figures, misleading videos, and repurposed images have once again flooded social media. Some claim 7,000 Syrian Christians alone were killed in two days. This was quickly debunked, but it didn't stop Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk from sharing this false news.

This is why Sednaya is the first port of call ahead of anywhere else in Damascus.
For 14 years and more it’s been a slaughterhouse.
100,000s of Syrians had loved ones taken there never to return.

4. Early on, when I joined Twitter, I tweeted a photo of my new company sweatshirt emblazoned with the slogan, “Hello, literally everyone”—a phrase that, at the time, felt more than just a marketing slogan. It felt tangible and genuine.
