If you'd like a sneak peek at The Information Animal, @hilltimes.com has an excerpt in this week's paper, which we've unlocked for a limited time here - it's from one of my favourite chapters looking at Finland www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...
Is Finland a model for Canada to counter disinformation?
The reported absence of significant attacks will likely continue to fuel the belief in democratic policy circles that Finland is a shining example other countries should follow in the fight against di...

Canada’s digital sovereignty (or lack thereof) is a growing concern. @heiditworek.bsky.social and @lageneralista.ca argue that to build an independent tech 'CanStack', policymakers need to start with a full assessment of the information ecosystem. www.cigionline.org/articles/how...
How to Confront Canada’s Digital Dependence
Even a cursory glance at Canada’s digital providers exposes substantial reliance on foreign firms.

Liverpool police were quick to release demographic information of the driver who rammed his car into a crowd last month. This move was an attempt at quelling misinformation – but was it enough?

@lageneralista.ca ‬ weighed in for Emissary: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...
The Liverpool Response to Misinformation Was a Good First Step—but It’s Not Enough
Rushing to stamp out sparks makes sense. But policymakers need to prevent those sparks in the first place by better understanding the conditions that make misinformation catch fire.

It's well known that politicians take more extreme positions during primaries. In @electoralstudies.bsky.social, we find this shift is much more likely when incumbents in safe seats face a well-funded primary challenger.

Varying contexts affect how people around the world understand the information environment. In this compendium edited by @samlai.bsky.social, six experts offer perspectives that key decisionmakers may neglect when they conduct international work on the information environment:
