What would the impact be if #Meta dismantled its 3rd party #factchecking program in the #EU, too? What kind of false stories would be allowed to circulate without any contextual information from professional factchecking orgs?

Mr Zuckerberg's misrepresentation of independent and professional #factchecking organisations as biased censors and his attack of the #EU policy framework are concerning – and in stark contrast with #Meta's previous commitment to make its services safer for all users.

Maybe a more fitting name for this new Kremlin activity would be fake-checking. 🤷‍♀️
It seems that Russia has a new plan to discredit genuine fact-checking activities and disguise the narratives promoted by its propaganda machine as fact-checked information. Read more here ⬇️

Concerning findings. Implying that there’s a need to (re)act!
Taking a single issue - polarization - we ask people what institutions they, on balance, feel do bring us together and which divide us. Again, social media are seen differently from other platforms - but news media, journalists, and politicians are seen as far more divisive 4/5

#CEDMOTrends: Almost 1/2 of Czechs wish for Ukraine to win the war against Russia. More than a 1/3 of people want the fighting to end with a temporary peace, without either side winning. Approx. 7% of the population would be satisfied with a Russian victory.

My key takeaways: Public health communicators need to respect that in today’s world, everyone does their own research. The old model of telling people what to do doesn't work any more. People want to understand their choices. It’s crucial to explain the benefits and talk about the risks, too.
New pod: I talked to Emily Oster about
- the appeal of RFK
- vax conspiracies
- fluoride myths
- and how to talk about public health controversies in an age where trust in science (and everything else) is shifting from institutions to individuals
