@annaluehrmann.eurosky.socialReposted by @cathleen.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.
@eliothiggins.bsky.socialReposted by @cathleen.eurosky.socialCredit to the US for making the point the conference was trying to make about US foreign interference in European democracies for them, and bringing more attention to the conference and its themes than they could have possibly hoped for. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
@cathleen.eurosky.socialThank you!
@cathleen.eurosky.socialThanks for sharing!
@nathalievanraemdonck.comReposted by @cathleen.eurosky.socialgreat panel with @robin.berjon.com @scarnecchia.net and @cathleen.eurosky.social who reminds us that "if we want to have a chance to create an open social web, we need to think how regulations have consequences for that future, and not just how they're meant to be regulating Big Tech" #disinfo2026
@cathleen.eurosky.socialNo, the reporting points to the U.S.: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
@mschenk.bsky.socialReposted by @cathleen.eurosky.socialGood points...
@cathleen.eurosky.socialIt’s shocking to hear that @eudiplomacy.bsky.social, the governments of Canada & Lithuania withdrew their #Disinfo2026 sponsorship on such short notice that the banners couldn’t be replaced.
And: I love how the organizers made sure everyone knew that intimidation was not going to go unnoticed. #FIMI
@cathleen.eurosky.socialOn #DSA enforcement: civil society is increasingly treated as a systemic solution to a systemic problem ( #disinformation) — without systemic/sustainable funding.
Yes. And so much to unpack here.

@robin.berjon.comReposted by @cathleen.eurosky.socialA running theme of #Disinfo2026h this year is about the US as FIMI actor.
In a completely unrelated turn of events, a few sponsors pulled out at the last moment, including the @eudiplomacy.bsky.social (yet another case of our institutions making me ashamed to be European).
@cathleen.eurosky.social“Social media companies actively financially incentivize this. Despite recurring policy violations, many of these accounts attain monetization status, while their obviously AI-generated content often remains unlabeled.” — new concerning analysis by reset.tech www.reset.tech/resources/mo...
@cathleen.eurosky.socialOn #slopaganda
“6,601 accounts amassed a combined following of 101.3 million, published 962,000 posts and videos, and generated over 4 billion views and 503.3 million engagements.” 1/ #disinfo2026
@cathleen.eurosky.socialThat was part of the speaker package. Will forward you the link. :)
@cathleen.eurosky.socialTime flies! #disinfo2026 is already happening next week! If you’ll be in Vilnius too, ping me.
On Thursday, @robin.berjon.com @scarnecchia.net and I will dive into all things trust and safety on the #OpenSocialWeb — can’t wait!

@rahmstorf.bsky.socialReposted by @cathleen.eurosky.socialSommer 2026: 16.000 Hitzetote 🥵 alleine in 🇩🇪. Dürre. Brände. 🤯 Die Bundesregierung subventioniert jetzt mit 2.500.000.000 € von unseren Steuergeldern die Ursache der Hitze: fossile Brennstoffe. Unfassbar. 🤯🤯🤯 Das meiste Geld landet dann wieder bei den Ölkonzernen, der Lobby gegen Klimaschutz.
