#EU drops support for #disinfo2026, a conference on #FreeSpeech and #Disinformation in #Lithuania, due to pressure from the US!
Way to go EU! So much for upholding democratic principles, emancipating itself...

@caadcoalition.bsky.socialIndependent disinformation research is essential to democratic resilience.
CAAD stands with the #Disinfo2026 organisers @disinfo.eu and participants. Transparency, information integrity and open democratic debate must be protected, in Europe and globally.

@euwatch.liveEurope needs a spine. Waiting for America to “return to normal” is surrender dressed as diplomacy.
@rimgaile.bsky.socialAt #disinfo2026 in Vilnius, despite last-minute sponsor withdrawals, researchers stood firm: studying information manipulation must happen free from government or platform interference. Takeaways: be proactive, pool resources and come together. A huge thank you to the organisers @disinfo.eu!

English version of our Open Social Web Alliance paper is finally out. As mentioned to many of #Disinfo2026 folks. Feedback very welcome! #oswa
@sheriffof0.bsky.socialIn April, the conference’s own organisers noted that Donald Trump had not been mentioned once in over 350 submitted proposals. By October, the panel that finally mentioned him had cost the conference three of its four government sponsors.

Die USA setzen alles daran, dass man nicht ihre Desinformationkampagnen (aus dem Weißen Haus) beleuchtet und darüber aufklärt. Gerade wegen Trump und vor den midterms. Vor den USA muss man mittlerweile warnen (Stichwort ICC oder HateAid)

@riddellsam.bsky.socialVilnius vibes were strong. I leave inspired by my colleagues (new and old faces both) in this community and filled with a renewed resolve! #Disinfo2026
@cubanx.bsky.socialThe russia-backed Pedo-Trump regime of the United States bullied the #EU diplomatic service, Canada and Lithuania into withdrawing their sponsorship of #Disinfo2026

@skwalker.bsky.socialThe conference, titled #Disinfo2026, included sessions (describing) the U.S. as a “foreign information manipulation and interference” actor, or “FIMI,” which bothered the Trump administration... The conference is being held Wednesday and Thursday in Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital.
THE TRUTH HURTS!
@annaluehrmann.eurosky.socialI stand in solidarity with researchers at the #disinfo2026 conference. We need brave researchers and civil society in our fight against disinformation. EU institutions and governments should not cave under US pressure.
@dale.berlin.social.ap.brid.gySo, no more sponsorship for #Disinfo2026 - and instead everyone ought to say stuff like: "Americans are stealing and eating pets (and who denies it, is working for that deep state)."* and that JD Vance is secretly the son of Fidel Castro, etc.**, huh? Or for something new, did you know that […]

#Disinfo2026, konference věnovaná dezinformacím, letos pořádaná ve Vilniusu, ztratila sponzoring EU, Kanady a i Litvy. Jejich loga byla na bannerech přelepena a zmizela i z webu. Jenže důvod je už směšný, zatlačil Bílý dům […]
@ullae.bsky.socialDie Veranstalter der gerade zu Ende gegangenen Desinformationskonferenz #disinfo2026 wollen nicht verraten, wo die disinfo2027 stattfindet. Warum? Weil die USA heuer so enormen Druck auf Veranstalter, Speaker und Sponsoren ausgeübt haben, dass man das kommende Austragungsland noch geheim hält. (1/2)
