Apparently, I’m not the only one haunted by Orwell.
My post on 1984 has become one of my most-read and honestly, I understand why. Reading it today feels uncomfortably familiar.

What happens when #disinformation becomes a matter of security?

My latest piece in @iajournal.bsky.social, one of the most read articles of its September issue, explores this question👇🏼

Once again, the US 🇺🇸 says NO to a UN Security Council draft resolution that would have demanded immediate, unconditional & permanent ceasefire in Gaza 🇵🇸, and immediate, dignified & unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas & other groups

In Favor: 14
Against: 1 (US)

Theoretically, I propose a refined model of collective securitisation, one where states, institutions, the media, and the public co-shape security issues and responses in recursive, multi-level interactions.

Building on 20 interviews and over 400 documents, I unpack how EU institutions and member states interacted to frame Russian propaganda as an existential threat, paving the way for extraordinary measures.

🚨 New in @iajournal.bsky.social : My latest article examines how the EU collectively framed “disinformation” as a security threat, culminating in the unprecedented 2022 ban on RT & Sputnik after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I know this is probably a very small accomplishment to many, but I've been told to celebrate the small wins... so here it goes! 🐣

Whether this is true or not, it goes to show how much of a crisis of credibility the EU has put itself into with its inaction towards Israel… the damage of this narrative is already done.

My mind has officially been blown to pieces.

NATO S.G. Mark Rutte congratulates US Pres. Donald Trump on bombing Iran that “makes us all safer”.

time is running out.
