Robert De Niro returns to star in a David O. Russell movie while Sebastian Stan and Leo Woodall line up for true story Burning Rainbow.
Producer Todd Lieberman, founder of production company Hidden Pictures, recounts the making of one of the most iconic and lauded boxing movies of all time. It had been a dream of Todd's to make a boxing movie, and he knew The Fighter was the one as soon as it came across his desk, but the process from script to screen wasn't an easy one. There were multiple cast and director changes, and the original studio pulled out of the project. But the challenges were blessings in disguise as they allowed director David O. Russell the freedom to bring his trademark dark humor to the film, and actors Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, Melissa Leo, and Amy Adams to fully embody their characters. Hosted on Acast.

This week on "Shat the Movies," we're exploring Three Kings (1999), a gritty, action-packed satire set during the Gulf War. Join us as we dive into the film's blend of humor, action, and social commentary, led by an all-star cast including George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, and Ice Cube. Whether you're a fan of the genre or new to the film, get ready for a thought-provoking and entertaining discussion! Plot Summary:In the 1999 war satire Three Kings, directed by David O. Russell, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, and Ice Cube star as a group of disillusioned U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq at the end of the Gulf War. When they discover a hidden map leading to a stash of stolen Kuwaiti gold, they embark on what they believe will be a quick and easy heist. However, their mission takes an unexpected turn, forcing them to confront the brutal realities of war, morality, and human suffering. Major Archie Gates (George Clooney), a cynical and seasoned Special Forces officer nearing retirement, leads the operation alongside Sergeant Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg), a naive reservist, Staff Sergeant Chief Elgin (Ice Cube), a pragmatic soldier, and Private Conrad Vig (Spike Jonze), an unpredictable and reckless grunt. Initially motivated by greed, the team infiltrates an Iraqi bunker in search of gold bars hidden by Saddam Hussein's regime. However, as they navigate war-torn Iraq, they encounter civilians desperately trying to escape oppression, revealing the true human cost of the conflict. As their plan unravels, the soldiers are faced with a moral dilemma: take the gold and escape, or risk their lives to help the suffering Iraqi people. What starts as a self-serving heist turns into an unexpected rescue mission, filled with explosive confrontations, tense shootouts, and moments of dark humor. The film's unique blend of action, satire, and social commentary highlights the absurdity of war while keeping audiences engaged with dynamic storytelling and stylish cinematography. Three Kings remains a standout war film, mixing humor, action, and political critique in a way that feels both entertaining and thought-provoking. Join our podcast review as we revisit this unconventional Gulf War adventure and discuss whether its biting satire and gripping action still hold up today.

Sinema Kulübü'müzün 19uncu buluşmasında David O. Russell'ın yönettiği başrollerinde Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence ve Robert De Niro'nun oynadığı 2012 yılı yapımı orijinal adı “Silver Linings Playbook” olan, bizde “Umut Işığım” adıyla gösterime giren filmi konuştuk.Bir akıl hastanesinde bir süre kaldıktan sonra, eski öğretmen Pat Solitano ailesinin yanına geri döner ve eski karısıyla uzlaşmaya çalışır. Pat, kendi sorunları olan gizemli bir kız olan Tiffany ile tanıştığında işler daha da zorlaşır.Önce filmin adı ilgimi çekti, onu araştırdım. Every cloud has a silver lining, diye bir deyiş var. Bizdeki “her şerde bir hayır vardır” anlamına geliyor. Hani karanlık bir bulutun arkasından gelen güneşin ışığıyla kontur şeklinde bir parlaklık olur, sanki gümüşlenmiş gibi. Her olumsuz durumun bile bir olumlu yanı vardır anlamında. Playbook ise filmde de önemli bir yere sahip Amerikan futbolunda oyun stratejilerinin, planlarının yer aldığı kitaba gönderme yapıyor. Yani hayatta karşılaştığınız sizi çok olumsuz etkilediğini bildiğiniz durumlar için bir planınız olsun, onu nasıl kendiniz için bir avantaja döndüreceğinizi bilin deniyor, Pat'e psikiyatristinin tavsiyesi de bu.Film ruhsal sağlık üzerinden bir çok konuya dokunuyor; ruh sağlığı sorunu yaşayan bireyin aile olan ilişkisi, bu ilişkinin iyileşme sürecine etkisini işliyor. Toplumsal dışlanmayı ve ayrımcılığı hem ruh sağlığı üzerinden hem de etnik köken üzerinden göz önüne getiriyor. Ama hepsinden önemlisi sevginin engelleri aşarak bize nasıl güç verdiğini, umut verdiğini hatırlatıyor. Filmde sanki kimse normal değil gibi de geliyor, hepimizin tuhaf düşünceleri ve davranışları olabiliyor, acaba bunlarla çok yüzleşmeden başkalarını yaftalamaya ne kadar meraklıyız'ı düşündürüyor.Film 8 dalda Oscar'a aday gösterilmiş. Sadece Kadın Başrol oyuncu ödülünü almış ama biz de bütün oyunculukların çok iyi olduğu konusundaki görüşümüzü beyan ettik. İyi ki izlemişiz dedik.Söyleşimizde kaçınılmaz olarak çok sayıda şahit olduğumuz vakalardan, hayatlardan anonim de olsa örnekler verildi, o kısımları dahil etmedim.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım(02:47) Umut Alkaç, (05:22) Cem Çağatay Karaali, (07:41) Aydan İrem Sungur, (10:20) Mete Yurtsever (11:20) Feyza Demir, (16:33) Erkil Bağlan, (21:26) Feyza Demir.Support the show
Free preview episode cross-over with the Bang-Bang Podcast. A madcap collage of American Berserk—that's one way to describe David O. Russell's Three Kings, and it's exactly how Van, Lyle, and screenwriter Kevin Fox dive into it.This two-part episode (the second installment drops shortly) unpacks the film's wild genre mash-up: comic book absurdities collide with nods to Star Wars and Apocalypse Now, all while a grim commentary on U.S. militarism and society simmers underneath. The group digs into how the film disorients viewers with slapstick humor and sudden, brutal violence—like Mark Wahlberg's character, whose torture by an Iraqi soldier (grieving the loss of his son to an American bombing) flips the script on American power. When Wahlberg's character feebly defends U.S. actions as “maintaining stability in the Middle East,” the soldier shoves a CD-ROM in his mouth—a searing metaphor for the imposition of U.S. hegemony.From cartoonish “United States of Freedom” patriotism to cow guts and milk truck explosions, Three Kings might not be the perfect vehicle for telling Americans—and all the privileged in the Global North—what they need to hear. But at times, it sure comes close.Subscribe to the Bang-Bang Podcast to unlock the rest of this episode, Part II, and the entire Bang-Bang catalog: https://www.bangbangpod.com/p/part-i-three-kings-1999-w-kevin-foxFurther ReadingKevin's Website“The Class of 1999: ‘Three Kings',” by Matthew Goldenberg“Three Kings: neocolonial Arab representation,” by Lila Kitaeff“The Gulf War, Iraq and Western Liberalism,” by Peter Gowan“The Gulf War's Afterlife: Dilemmas, Missed Opportunities, and the Post-Cold War Order Undone,” by Samuel Helfont
What if Mark Wahlberg's career choices could be mapped like a roller coaster, with highs and lows that keep audiences on the edge of their seats? Join us for a spirited exploration of Wahlberg's diverse filmography, from standout roles like those in "Boogie Nights" and "The Fighter" to the puzzling choices such as "Planet of the Apes." We dive into the collaborations with directors like David O. Russell and Peter Berg, examining how these partnerships have brought unique flair to his performances. It's a conversation that celebrates Wahlberg's versatility, dissecting why his most recent release, "Flight Risk," might just be another exciting chapter in his storied career.From Kendrick Lamar's electrifying Super Bowl performance to Tom Cruise's cinematic declarations, we shift gears to ponder the state of the movie industry today. Tackling the proliferation of franchise films, we discuss the desire for fresh narratives amid the franchise fatigue. Using "Jurassic World" and Scarlett Johansson's career choices as talking points, we imagine a cinematic future where dinosaurs roam free of their franchise constraints and audiences are treated to more original storytelling.As we wrap up, we look at the fascinating intersections of Wahlberg's career in both television and film. With a nod to his role as executive producer on "Entourage," we ponder how this success might have influenced his later projects. We also muse over the potential directions his career could take, whether revisiting action-packed staples or venturing into more nuanced roles. From unexpected casting ideas to humorous references like the iconic "say hello to your mother for me," it's a light-hearted yet insightful journey through Wahlberg's Hollywood narrative.Send us a textSupport the show

In this week's episode of Born to Watch, we're diving into a film that strikes the perfect balance between humor, heartbreak, and the hope that pulls us through life's darkest moments. Directed by David O. Russell and featuring a powerhouse cast, "Silver Linings Playbook" has left a lasting impression on audiences since its release in 2012. This film isn't just another romantic comedy—it's a deeply moving exploration of mental health, relationships, and the redemptive power of love."Silver Linings Playbook" tells the story of Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper), struggling to rebuild his life after a stint in a mental institution. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Pat's world is in shambles: he's lost his job, his house, and his marriage. Despite these setbacks, Pat is determined to regain control of his life and win back his estranged wife, Nikki (Brea Bee). He moves back in with his parents, Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro) and Dolores (Jacki Weaver), whose quirks and struggles add complexity to the family dynamic.From the very beginning, it's clear that "Silver Linings Playbook" is not your typical romantic comedy. The film deals with heavy themes such as mental illness and the challenges of recovery, but it does so with a light touch that never feels exploitative or disrespectful. David O. Russell's direction is sharp and empathetic, capturing the chaos and confusion of Pat's life without losing sight of the humour and humanity that make his story so compelling.One of the film's greatest strengths is its ability to portray mental illness in a realistic yet hopeful way. Pat's journey is filled with setbacks and moments of despair, but the film never loses sight of the possibility of recovery. Bradley Cooper's portrayal of Pat is nothing short of remarkable—he brings a raw intensity to the role that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Cooper's ability to convey Pat's vulnerability and determination makes him a character that is both relatable and deeply sympathetic. It's a performance that resonates long after the credits roll.Jennifer Lawrence, who won an Academy Award for her role as Tiffany Maxwell, is equally captivating. Tiffany is a young widow who is dealing with her mental health struggles, and her unlikely friendship with Pat becomes the heart of the film. Lawrence brings a fiery energy to the role, making Tiffany both fierce and fragile, a perfect match for Pat's more subdued but equally tumultuous personality. Their chemistry is electric, and their interactions blend sharp wit and genuine emotion, making their relationship one of the most memorable in recent cinema.The supporting cast is just as impressive. Robert De Niro delivers a standout performance as Pat Sr., a father who is as complicated as his son. De Niro brings a mix of humour, frustration, and deep-seated love to the role, creating an endearing and exasperating character. Jacki Weaver, as Dolores, provides a softer, more nurturing presence, balancing the family's dynamics with her quiet strength. Together, they create a believable and touching portrayal of a family trying to navigate the challenges of mental illness and the impact it has on their lives."Silver Linings Playbook" is also notable for its depiction of sports fanaticism, particularly how it ties into the characters' lives and emotional states. Pat Sr.'s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles is both a source of tension and a means of bonding within the family. This subplot adds another layer of authenticity to the film, grounding it in a specific cultural context while also highlighting how people use rituals and routines to cope with life's uncertainties.The film's pacing is brisk, and its narrative keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. Russell's script, adapted from Matthew Quick's novel of the same name, is tight and witty, filled with dialogue that is as sharp as it is heartfelt. The story unfolds in a way that feels organic, with each scene building on the last to create a sense of momentum that mirrors Pat's journey towards healing and self-acceptance.Cinematographically, "Silver Linings Playbook" uses a mix of close-ups and wide shots to create a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The handheld camera work gives the film a raw, almost documentary-like feel, drawing the audience into Pat's world and allowing them to experience his highs and lows firsthand. This visual style, combined with the film's vibrant colour palette, adds to the optimism that underpins the story, even in its darkest moments.The soundtrack perfectly complements the film's tone, featuring a mix of classic rock and contemporary hits. Songs like "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder and "Girl from the North Country" by Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash provide a nostalgic backdrop that enhances the emotional resonance of key scenes. Danny Elfman's subtle score also adds to the film's mood, underscoring the characters' emotional journeys without overwhelming the narrative.One of the most remarkable aspects of "Silver Linings Playbook" is its ability to blend humour and drama so seamlessly. The film tackles serious issues—mental illness, loss, and the struggle to move forward—yet it does so with a lightness that never feels forced. The humour arises naturally from the characters and their interactions, providing moments of levity that make the film's more poignant moments all the more impactful.As the film progresses, Pat and Tiffany's relationship evolves unexpectedly. What begins as a tentative friendship rooted in shared pain gradually blossoms into something deeper. Their connection is not a fairy tale romance but a realistic portrayal of two people who find solace and strength in each other's company. The dance competition they enter together becomes a metaphor for their journey—awkward, messy, but ultimately beautiful in its imperfection."Silver Linings Playbook" is a film that resonates on multiple levels. It's a love story, but it's also about family, healing, and the pursuit of happiness in the face of adversity. The film doesn't offer easy answers or neat resolutions, but it does provide a sense of hope—a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is the possibility of finding a silver lining.In conclusion, "Silver Linings Playbook" is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates entertaining and thought-provoking films. With its exceptional performances, sharp writing, and sensitive portrayal of complex issues, it stays with you long after the credits roll.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all of your favorite fictional universes. The Merc with the Mouth and Logan have officially taken the title of highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, with Deadpool & Wolverine barely edging out 2019's Joker from that honor. As of this recording, the MCU romp has accumulated $1.14 billion. And while that's a tough ticket to beat, other late summer movies are tracking for big openings as well with Alien: Romulus debuting globally at more than $180 million and Tim Burton's sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, eyeing a potential $80 million opening - which would make it the biggest September opening of all time. Lucasfilm announced Tuesday that this year's new show The Acolyte will not receive a second season. The show was incredibly divisive among fans, though critically was well-received. Showrunner Leslye Headland had pitched ideas for a second season, but those will not come to fruition now. Sony Pictures released an extended look at their upcoming Spider-Man villain movie, Kraven the Hunter. The movie releases December 13 and has a star-studded cast featuring Russell Crowe and Ariana DeBose with Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the Titular role,. The new promo provided a slightly longer look at the Rhino, played by Alessandro Nivola. It's the story that dominated the Marvel fandom last week - when Beau DeMayo claimed his credit will be removed from season two because he shared fan art for Gay Pride in June. DeMayo cited this as quote “...the latest in a troubling pattern I suffered through while working on #XMen97 and #Blade.” Marvel quickly released a statement, responding to DeMayo's claim that it was his behavior, called “egregious” in the statement,which was the cause of his loss of credit as well as his termination. Sources following these statements claimed that an agreement had been reached regarding social media around X-Men'97 and DeMayo breached that contract. Other sources claim DeMayo's termination was due to sexual misconduct, though no internal reviews have surfaced.

Apple TV+ has renewed Dark Matter, starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, for a second season. Derek Connolly, a franchise writer with a resume that includes the Jurassic World movies, has been tapped to write a live-action adaptation of the Sega video game Eternal Champions for Skydance.

Amazon's Prime Video has canceled My Lady Jane, the period drama which combined romance and alternate-world fantasy. The cancellation comes about seven weeks after Prime Video released all eight episodes of the show's first and now only season.

In Hour 2… [00:40] – Preseason Week 2 Watch List With both Russell Wilson and Daniel Jones set to make their preseason debuts this weekend, the spotlight is on which quarterback will be more relieved to get back on the field. For Wilson, who is dealing with a calf injury, this game against the Buffalo Bills might be a crucial step to shake off the rust and regain his rhythm in Pittsburgh's offense. For Jones, this game is about proving his health and showing that he can still be the leader of the Giants' offense. [21:05] – Notre Dame Men's Swimming Team Suspended Notre Dame decided to suspend its men's swimming program for at least a year following a review that uncovered violations of NCAA rules. The team's internal wagering, where athletes bet on their own or teammates' performances, and the presence of a derogatory group chat, reveal a significant culture problem within the program. This suspension not only serves as a punishment but also as a wake-up call about the importance of maintaining integrity and respect within college sports. [30:14] – Phil Perry on the Patriots Preseason Gojo, Golic, and Phil dive into the Patriots' preseason so far, starting with the recent 14-13 loss to the Eagles. While the scoreline might not mean much, there were certainly some takeaways, especially concerning the quarterback situation. Drake Maye had an interesting outing, going 6-for-11 with 62 total yards and a rushing touchdown. [40:41] – This, That and The Third Mike Trout's heartwarming moment of pulling his own 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft card while searching with his son adds a personal and emotional layer to the world of sports memorabilia. Nicolas Cage taking on the role of John Madden in an upcoming biopic directed by David O. Russell.

Kath tells Pat about a enterprising criminal who finagled his way into a job at the FBI and subsequently took down scores of politicians in a sting involving a fictional Emirati Sheik. This story is the basis for David O Russell's movie, AMERICAN HUSTLE.
This atypical romcom is the story of two broken people helping each other. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper play characters in the throes of their mental illnesses. David O. Russell adapted and directed this project, and JLaw won her first Oscar playing Tiffany. With such a high pedigree in cast and director, it's no surprise that this film delivers on every front.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, May 30th, 2023. Fight Laugh Feast Conference - Ark Encounter This year, our Fight Laugh Feast Conference is at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky on The Politics of Six Day Creation. The politics of six day creation is the difference between a fixed standard of justice and a careening standard of justice, the difference between the corrosive relativism that creates mobs and anarchy and the freedom of objectivity, truth, and due process. The politics of six day creation establishes the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word for all of life: from what is a man or a woman, when does human life begin, and how is human society best organized? Come hear Ken Ham, Pastor Doug Wilson, Dr. Ben Merkle, Dr. Gordon Wilson, me and more, and of course a live CrossPolitic show!

What about promises kept? In the debt-ceiling deal outlined Sunday and due to be inked later this week, McCarthy has allowed the lion’s share of that extra IRS funding to remain unmolested: preserving $78.1 billion of the $80 billion. As rebel GOP Rep Dan Bishop put it: “So there will be 85,260 more IRS agents rather than 87,000 to eat you alive. Big win.” Overpromising and underdelivering is what turns voters off the GOP. You don’t mount a powerful six-month fear campaign about 87,000 new, armed IRS agents ready to break down people’s doors, and then meekly capitulate at the first sign of resistance. Even if those fears were exaggerated, your credibility rests on delivering a lot more than 2% of what you promised. In any case the fears about a weaponized IRS targeting Biden’s opponents are very real. If anything, the IRS is worse today than it was during the Obama administration, when Lois Lerner presided over the targeted harassment of Tea Party groups and other conservatives. Not a single IRS employee was held accountable for the scandal. Lerner retired on a full pension without even a slap on the wrist. This is the same IRS which went after journalist Matt Taibbi last December, three weeks after he started reporting on the so-called “Twitter Files,” which revealed that censorship on the social-media platform had been coordinated by federal government agencies such as the FBI and CIA. On March 9, when Taibbi was testifying in Congress about, ironically enough, the weaponization of the federal government, IRS agents showed up unannounced at his New Jersey home. The IRS file on Taibbi was opened the day he posted his ninth and most explosive Twitter file, detailing how agencies including the Pentagon and the State Department had colluded with Twitter to stifle dissent. It was Christmas Eve, a Saturday, which shows what an unusual priority it was for an agency that normally goes to sleep for two weeks over Christmas and whose standard work week is Monday through Friday. Under questioning from Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, the IRS has claimed it had concerns about “identity fraud” with Taibbi’s 2018 and 2021 tax returns, and that he was sent two letters before the home visit. Yet Taibbi says he and his accountant never received any letters. Even more “unnerving” as Taibbi puts it, was the fact that an IRS case agent had compiled a dossier on him which included personal information such as his voter registration records and whether he had a concealed-weapons permit or a hunting or fishing license. Unlike Hunter Biden, Taibbi didn’t owe the IRS any taxes and in fact was due a refund. And yes, this is the same IRS which removed its entire investigative team from the Hunter Biden case on DOJ orders after two senior agents complained about DOJ interference. https://thepostmillennial.com/blm-co-founder-loses-multi-platform-warner-brothers-deal-after-delivering-no-content-on-contract?utm_campaign=64487 BLM co-founder loses multi-platform Warner Brothers deal after delivering no content on contract In October 2020, 39-year-old Black Lives Matter co-founder and former leader Patrisse Cullors signed a multi-year contract with Warner Bros Television Group to create content for the entertainment giant, but the studio quietly ended then relationship last year with no material produced, reports the New York Post. On Friday, a source familiar with the situation told the outlet, "The studio signed an overall deal with BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors at some point in 2020" but the "Deal expired at end of October 2022." "The deal unfortunately did not result in any produced shows," the source added. The agreement was a multi-year, multi-platform deal in which Cullors would produce original material, including scripted comedies and dramas, animated shows, and documentary series, that would focus on black stories. The content would go out on the distributor's broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms. Variety first reported on the deal in 2020 but did not disclose its value. Previously, Cullors said in an interview that she was working on material for Warner Bros, including documentaries focused on reparations and social mobility of black Americans as well as a scripted program on marijuana. Patrisse Cullors, who helped found BLM in 2013, stepped down from the organization after a real-estate scandal emerged in May 2021 when it was revealed she spent $3.2 million on four different homes in Georgia and California. Soon after more reports started to emerge of Black Lives Matter leadership using company funds for personal luxury. Upon stepping down, Cullors claimed she was doing so in order to focus on her book and TV deal. In April 2022, Cullors said that 990 tax forms required for charities were "triggering" and that the forms were being "weaponized" against organizations like hers. The IRS 990 is a routine document charities must fill out annually to disclose their financial activities.

The EU’s internal market commissioner, Thierry Breton, wrote that Twitter left the bloc’s Code of Practice, after reports claimed the platform would do so. Breton warned that Twitter would face some legal liabilities. “Twitter leaves EU voluntary Code of Practice against disinformation. But obligations remain. You can run, but you can’t hide,” Breton wrote. “Beyond voluntary commitments, fighting disinformation will be legal obligation under #DSA as of August 25. Our teams will be ready for enforcement.” An EU official also told Euractiv that the bloc is “waiting for this,” and “it was purely a matter of time” before reports surfaced that Musk would withdraw. The rules known as the Digital Services Act (DSA) require companies to do risk management, conduct external and independent auditing, share data with authorities and researchers, and adopt a code of conduct by August. The 19 companies that are subject to the rules include Alphabet’s Google Maps, Google Play, Google Search, Google Shopping, YouTube, Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, Amazon’s Marketplace, Apple’s App Store, and Twitter. The others are Microsoft’s two units LinkedIn and Bing, booking.com, Pinterest, Snap Inc’s Snapchat, TikTok, Wikipedia, Zalando, and Alibaba’s AliExpress. Breton said he was checking to see whether another four to five companies fall under the DSA, with a decision expected in the next few weeks. Breton singled out Facebook’s content moderation system for criticism because of its role in building opinions on key issues. Twitter had agreed earlier to a stress test, and Breton said he and his team would travel to the company’s headquarters in San Francisco at the end of June of this year to carry out the voluntary mock exercise. Breton didn’t detail what the test would entail. There are guardrails for content generated by artificial intelligence, like deep fake videos and synthetic images, which will have to be clearly labeled when they come up in search results, Breton said. He’s also said that under the Digital Services Act, violations could be punished with hefty fines of up to 6 percent of a company’s annual revenue. Platforms will have to “completely redesign” their systems to ensure a high level of privacy and safety for children, including verifying users’ ages, Breton said. Big Tech companies also will have to revamp their systems to “prevent algorithmic amplification of disinformation,” he said, saying he was particularly concerned about Facebook’s content moderation systems ahead of September elections in Slovakia.
