Bienvenidos a la segunda parte de este programa especial sobre geoingeniería. A través de los datos que hemos expuesto se puede decir que han creado un cambio en la logística de la distribución del combustible para aviación para ser utilizado en las fumigaciones clandestinas que sufrimos en todo el mundo occidental. Repasemos otra vez el listado de Hallazgos principales: 1. Privatización de Infraestructuras Críticas de Combustibles de Aviación. 2. Control de Redes Logísticas Energéticas por Fondos de Inversión. 3. Integración de Infraestructuras Civiles bajo Órdenes de la OTAN-NSPA. 4. Habilitación Legal para Introducir Compuestos No Declarados en Combustibles. 5. Observación Directa de Estelas Persistentes Anómalas. 6. Correlación entre Patrones de Tráfico Aéreo y Modificaciones Atmosféricas. 7. Impacto Potencial en Salud Pública Documentado en Estudios Médicos. 8. Alteración de Ciclos Hidrológicos y Efectos sobre Ecosistemas. 9. Vulneración de Derechos Fundamentales de Acceso a Información Ambiental. 10. Consolidación de un Modelo de Control Ambiental Post-democrático. Cada hallazgo será expuesto en detalle a continuación. En esta parte hablaremos un poco de los riesgos toxicológicos y de las oscuras conexiones con la OTAN y otras agencias gubernamentales e instituciones publico-privadas que trabajan para el gobierno mundial en la sombra. “Riesgos toxicológicos subestimados Estudios de toxicología ambiental (Oberdörster 2005; Maher 2016) demuestran que nanopartículas de aluminio y bario atraviesan la barrera hemato-encefálica y se asocian a procesos neurodegenerativos. La exposición crónica, incluso a dosis subclínicas, incrementa: • inflamación pulmonar, • estrés oxidativo sistémico, • disfunción neurovascular. El vacío regulatorio SAF-F-34 impide evaluar estos riesgos en población civil.” Si partículas metálicas atraviesan la barrera hematoencefálica y llegan al cerebro, podrían generarse diversos efectos adversos dependiendo de su tipo, tamaño y concentración. Estas partículas, como las de metales pesados (plomo, mercurio o cadmio), pueden inducir neurotoxicidad, causando inflamación, estrés oxidativo y daño neuronal. Esto podría alterar funciones cognitivas, motoras o emocionales, y en casos graves, contribuir al desarrollo de enfermedades neurodegenerativas como Alzheimer o Parkinson. Además, la acumulación de estas partículas podría interferir con la señalización neuronal o provocar respuestas inmunitarias locales, exacerbando el daño tisular. La falta de mecanismos eficientes para eliminar estas partículas del cerebro agrava el riesgo, haciendo que su presencia sea potencialmente peligrosa a largo plazo. “Inauditable por diseño 1. Origen disperso: la mezcla SAF se produce en refinerías o “blending hubs” privados; los aditivos se declaran sólo al loteador. 2. Logística cerrada: CEPS-NSPA distribuye el producto final ya certificado. 3. Protección militar/industrial: la composición se ampara en secreto comercial o cláusulas de seguridad OTAN. Conclusión: la ciudadanía carece de cualquier vía práctica para analizar qué se ha añadido realmente al combustible que sobrevuela sus cielos. Esta sección demuestra que la ventana normativa abierta por ReFuelEU y la Single Fuel Policy OTAN permite, hoy, introducir compuestos atmosféricos de forma legalmente opaca, sin control democrático ni auditoría sanitaria. Conexión 6: Coordinación logística civil-militar bajo interés estratégico global La frontera tradicional entre infraestructuras civiles y militares ha sido sistemáticamente disuelta en las últimas décadas bajo el argumento de la ”eficiencia logística” y la ”seguridad estratégica”. Evidencias documentadas: • Acuerdos entre Estados miembros de la OTAN para permitir el uso de infraestructuras civiles de abastecimiento, transporte y almacenamiento energético en operaciones militares. • Establecimiento de corredores logísticos estratégicos que combinan tráfico civil y militar en redes de aviación, energía y comunicaciones. • Delegación operativa de nodos estratégicos de abastecimiento energético a entidades supranacionales bajo marcos de cooperación militar. Características de esta coordinación: • Uso dual de infraestructuras: lo que aparenta ser civil puede ser usado militarmente sin que la ciudadanía lo perciba. • Falta de transparencia: los detalles operativos quedan protegidos por cláusulas de secreto militar o de seguridad estratégica. • Capacidad de ejecución logística a escala continental sin necesidad de declarar estados de excepción ni conflictos armados. Relevancia para la modificación atmosférica: • La infraestructura civil de aviación puede ser utilizada para operaciones de dispersión atmosférica sin necesidad de declarar misiones militares. • Las rutas de vuelo, los depósitos de combustible, las redes de abastecimiento ya están integradas logísticamente en una arquitectura de control estratégico. Esta coordinación logística civil-militar es la pieza final que permite comprender cómo se pueden ejecutar operaciones globales de modificación atmosférica sin dejar rastro administrativo visible.” “Conexión 7: INFRAESTRUCTURA MILITAR INVISIBLE DARPA · Pentágono · CIA · OTAN DARPA – El laboratorio del clima bélico La Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), creada en 1958 bajo el Pentágono, dirige programas de investigación encubiertos que incluyen manipulación atmosférica. Entre 2010 y 2024 ha financiado proyectos de “gestión de radiación solar” (SRM), inyección de sulfatos en la estratosfera y sensores hiperespectrales para rastrear aerosoles. Patentes clave: • US 5 003 186 A (Welsbach, 1989). Propone mezclar óxidos de aluminio y torio micronizados en el combustible de aviación para reflejar luz solar. • WO 2010/018157 A1. Describe la dispersión estratosférica de aerosoles directamente a través del jet fuel. En la práctica, DARPA entrega la tecnología “lista para campo” al Pentágono mediante programas especiales clasificados (SAP, Special Access Programs). Pentágono – Autorización y despliegue encubierto El Departamento de Defensa aprueba cada año, dentro del presupuesto de I+D (RDT&E), líneas de gasto etiquetadas como Atmospheric Sensing & Effects. Cuando un prototipo DARPA se considera “estratégico”, el Pentágono lo traslada a un SAP: operaciones blindadas a la supervisión del Congreso y clasificadas durante décadas. Así se autorizaría la mezcla de aditivos atmosféricos en el combustible militar F-34/JP-8 sin control civil. CIA – Gestión de la narrativa y desinformación La CIA no diseña la tecnología, pero protege el programa: • Financia (directa o indirectamente, vía NED, USAID, Open Society) a plataformas de “verificación de hechos” (Maldita.es, FullFact, Newtral) que tachan cualquier denuncia de “chemtrails” de teoría conspirativa. • Mantiene redes mediáticas de influencia que recuerdan al histórico proyecto Mockingbird: periodistas afines, académicos subvencionados y “expertos” que repiten el guion oficial (“sólo es vapor de agua”). OTAN / NSPA – Logística operativa El brazo logístico de la OTAN (NSPA) gestiona el Central Europe Pipeline System (CEPS) y conecta oleoductos civiles como Exolum (España-UK). Desde 1959 rige la “cláusula de prioridad militar”: en cualquier contingencia, la demanda aliada prevalece sobre la civil. Esto permite que lotes de combustible F-34 con aditivos pasen de refinería a aeropuertos civiles (Fráncfort, Schiphol, Bruselas, Madrid) sin auditoría pública, camuflando la dispersión masiva en vuelos comerciales y militares. ¿Quién controla realmente a DARPA? — La capa financiera Empresa controlada Sector clave % aprox.

Kennedy Jr. “Eso no lo hace mi agencia. Creemos que lo hace DARPA. Y muchas de esas sustancias ya vienen en el jet fuel. Voy a averiguar quién lo hace y a exigir responsabilidades.” Declaraciones realizadas por Robert F. Kennedy Jr.” La Agencia de Proyectos de Investigación Avanzada de Defensa (DARPA) ha financiado iniciativas que, por su naturaleza avanzada y potencialmente invasiva, han generado controversia y especulación sobre sus implicaciones éticas. Entre los proyectos más oscuros se encuentra el programa HI-MEMS (Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), que buscaba desarrollar insectos cyborg controlados remotamente mediante implantes para misiones de vigilancia o espionaje, planteando preocupaciones sobre la manipulación de seres vivos y la privacidad. Otro proyecto, el Brain Initiative, explora interfaces cerebro-máquina para controlar dispositivos con la mente, lo que, aunque prometedor para aplicaciones médicas, genera temores sobre el control mental o la vigilancia neuronal. Además, el programa EATR (Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot) propuso robots capaces de alimentarse de biomasa, incluyendo materia orgánica, lo que desató especulaciones sobre su uso en escenarios bélicos extremos. Aunque algunos de estos proyectos, como los descritos en fuentes públicas, han sido desclasificados, su carácter innovador y militar ha alimentado debates sobre sus posibles usos encubiertos y consecuencias éticas. “La dispersión atmosférica encubierta no depende de una sola institución: es una cadena integrada donde un núcleo financiero (BlackRock/Vanguard) financia la investigación (DARPA), la autorización bélica (Pentágono), la logística (OTAN-NSPA) y la narrativa (CIA + fact-checkers). Este entramado demuestra que la manipulación del cielo forma parte de una estrategia militar-corporativa global con respaldo financiero unificado. Análisis Estratégico Crítico La arquitectura militar invisible detallada refuerza y prolonga las conexiones estratégicas antes expuestas. La exposición detallada de los hallazgos y conexiones internacionales permite construir un análisis estratégico del modelo actual de control aéreo, logístico y atmosférico. Este análisis no busca simplemente describir los hechos, sino entender su lógica subyacente, sus implicaciones a largo plazo, y su impacto sobre los principios democráticos, ambientales y sociales fundamentales. Ejes principales del análisis: 1. Impacto sobre la soberanía nacional: Disolución del control estatal efectivo sobre infraestructuras críticas. 2. Impacto sobre los derechos fundamentales: Vulneración sistemática del derecho a un medio ambiente sano, a la salud pública y al acceso a información ambiental. 3. Impacto sobre el medio ambiente y los ecosistemas: Alteración directa de ciclos hidrológicos, climáticos y biológicos. 4. Impacto sobre la salud pública: Exposición masiva a compuestos tóxicos sin consentimiento ni conocimiento ciudadano. 5. Impacto sobre la estructura democrática: Emergencia de una gobernanza tecnocrática supranacional fuera del control democrático. 6. Impacto sobre la conciencia colectiva: Generación de un estado de desconexión entre los fenómenos observados y las narrativas oficiales. Este análisis permite concluir que no estamos simplemente ante un fenómeno ambiental aislado, sino ante una transformación estructural del contrato social contemporáneo. Impacto sobre la Soberanía Nacional El control operativo de infraestructuras críticas por entidades privadas internacionales, la subordinación logística a estructuras supranacionales como la OTAN, y la adopción de marcos legales transnacionales sin consulta democrática efectiva, han resultado en una erosión profunda de la soberanía nacional. Consecuencias específicas: • Pérdida de control sobre el espacio aéreo operativo: Las operaciones de modificación atmosférica pueden ejecutarse sin conocimiento ni autorización explícita de los gobiernos nacionales. • Pérdida de control sobre la composición de combustibles: Los Estados ya no supervisan ni regulan directamente la composición química de los combustibles de aviación usados sobre su territorio. • Imposibilidad de proteger a la ciudadanía mediante mecanismos nacionales: Al operar bajo paraguas jurídicos transnacionales, las acciones de modificación atmosférica escapan a las capacidades regulatorias internas. • Dilución del principio de autodeterminación: La capacidad de decidir sobre el medio ambiente, el espacio aéreo y los recursos naturales queda relegada a acuerdos estratégicos no sometidos a escrutinio democrático. Esta pérdida de soberanía no es accidental ni colateral: es un efecto estructural buscado para facilitar la ejecución de operaciones estratégicas globales sin interferencia política local. La soberanía ambiental, energética y aérea es hoy, en la práctica, una ilusión jurídica en muchos países europeos. Impacto sobre los Derechos Fundamentales La ejecución encubierta de operaciones de modificación atmosférica afecta directamente múltiples derechos humanos reconocidos en tratados internacionales, constituciones nacionales y principios jurídicos fundamentales. Principales derechos vulnerados: • Derecho a un medio ambiente sano: Establecido en el artículo 45 de la Constitución Española y en tratados como el Convenio de Aarhus, este derecho es vulnerado por la dispersión sistemática de compuestos tóxicos en la atmósfera. • Derecho a la salud pública: La exposición continua e involuntaria a nanopartículas y aerosoles tóxicos constituye una amenaza real y documentada a la salud de la población, violando el principio de precaución sanitaria. • Derecho de acceso a la información ambiental: La opacidad respecto a las operaciones atmosféricas y la composición de combustibles vulnera el derecho a recibir información clara y veraz sobre los riesgos ambientales. • Derecho a la participación pública en decisiones ambientales: Ninguna consulta popular, debate parlamentario abierto o referéndum ha sido realizado sobre las operaciones de modificación atmosférica. • Derecho al consentimiento informado: La ciudadanía es sometida a alteraciones ambientales masivas sin su conocimiento ni consentimiento, violando principios básicos de ética pública y derechos civiles. Estos derechos no son secundarios: constituyen la base de la dignidad humana en relación con el entorno vital. Su vulneración sistemática configura un escenario de agresión silenciosa a la estructura misma de los derechos fundamentales contemporáneos.” “Impacto sobre el Medio Ambiente y los Ecosistemas Las operaciones de modificación atmosférica documentadas tienen efectos directos, acumulativos y potencialmente irreversibles sobre los ecosistemas naturales. Principales impactos ambientales: • Alteración de patrones de nubosidad y precipitaciones: La dispersión de aerosoles en la atmósfera interfiere con la formación natural de nubes, reduciendo la pluviometría y modificando el equilibrio hídrico de los ecosistemas. • Aceleración de procesos de desertificación: La disminución de lluvias naturales y el aumento de irradiación solar en zonas alteradas favorecen la degradación de suelos, afectando la biodiversidad y la productividad agrícola. • Contaminación atmosférica de amplio espectro: La liberación de nanopartículas metálicas altera la calidad del aire y se deposita en suelos y aguas, afectando cadenas tróficas completas. • Disrupción de ciclos biológicos dependientes del clima: Polinizadores, migraciones de aves, ciclos de reproducción de flora y fauna son sensibles a cambios en temperatura, humedad y radiación solar, viéndose alterados por las modificaciones atmosféricas. • Incremento de vulnerabilidad ante eventos extremos: Ecosistemas debilitados por manipulación atmosférica son más susceptibles a incendios forestales, inundaciones súbitas y otros fenómenos extremos. Estos impactos no son aislados ni anecdóticos: forman parte de una reconfiguración forzada del equilibrio planetario, cuyos efectos a largo plazo son aún incalculables. La manipulación de la atmósfera es también una manipulación de la vida en todas sus formas. Impacto sobre la Salud Pública La dispersión sistemática de compuestos químicos en la atmósfera tiene consecuencias directas y documentadas sobre la salud humana, muchas de las cuales ya comienzan a manifestarse de manera creciente en las estadísticas sanitarias globales. Principales impactos en la salud: • Aumento de enfermedades respiratorias crónicas: Asma, bronquitis, fibrosis pulmonar y otras afecciones han mostrado incrementos estadísticamente significativos en zonas sometidas a alta actividad de estelas persistentes. • Incremento de patologías cardiovasculares: La inhalación de nanopartículas metálicas contribuye a procesos inflamatorios sistémicos y disfunción endotelial, aumentando el riesgo de enfermedades del corazón. • Impactos neurológicos: La exposición crónica a partículas ultrafinas ha sido asociada en estudios recientes con mayor incidencia de enfermedades neurodegenerativas como Alzheimer y Parkinson. • Alteraciones del sistema inmunológico: La carga tóxica continua reduce la eficacia del sistema inmunitario, aumentando la vulnerabilidad a infecciones, alergias y trastornos autoinmunes. • Aumento de trastornos endocrinos: Algunos compuestos dispersados pueden actuar como disruptores hormonales, afectando la regulación endocrina en seres humanos y fauna. Consecuencia ética y política: • La exposición involuntaria y no informada de poblaciones enteras a agentes tóxicos constituye una violación grave de los principios médicos fundamentales, incluyendo el de consentimiento informado y no maleficencia. • La manipulación atmosférica encubierta debe ser considerada un experimento masivo no autorizado sobre la salud humana. La protección real de la salud pública exige el cese inmediato de estas prácticas y la apertura de investigaciones independientes a gran escala.” “Impacto sobre la Estructura Democrática La ejecución encubierta de operaciones de modificación atmosférica y el control logístico global asociado no sólo afectan al medio ambiente y la salud pública: erosionan de forma profunda los fundamentos mismos de la democracia. Principales efectos sobre la estructura democrática: • Supresión del principio de transparencia: La ciudadanía es privada del acceso a información veraz sobre operaciones que afectan directamente su entorno y su salud. • Violación del principio de consentimiento popular: Alteraciones masivas del medio ambiente son implementadas sin consulta, deliberación ni autorización ciudadana. • Concentración del poder decisional en estructuras no electas: Agencias supranacionales, fondos de inversión y entidades militares toman decisiones críticas fuera del alcance democrático. • Erosión de la capacidad de fiscalización política: Los parlamentos nacionales carecen de mecanismos efectivos para auditar o controlar las operaciones logísticas de modificación ambiental. • Normalización de la excepcionalidad permanente: En nombre de objetivos estratégicos (como la ”lucha contra el cambio climático”), se consolidan prácticas de gobernanza que eluden las normas democráticas tradicionales. Esta erosión no es un daño colateral: es un objetivo funcional del nuevo modelo de gestión tecnocrática del medio ambiente. Una sociedad donde el cielo mismo puede ser manipulado sin conocimiento ni consentimiento de su población ya no puede considerarse plenamente democrática. La defensa del medio ambiente y la defensa de la democracia son hoy una misma causa inseparable. Control narrativo institucional La misma red financiera que domina la logística energética controla también los principales verificadores de datos y plataformas mediáticas. Iniciativas etiquetadas como “fact-checking” — Maldita.es, FullFact, AFP Factual, entre otras— reciben financiación directa o indirecta de fundaciones ligadas a los mismos fondos de inversión que participan en compañías energéticas, tecnológicas y de defensa. Estas entidades funcionan como un cordón sanitario informativo: descalifican sistemáticamente cualquier investigación sobre manipulación atmosférica tildándola de “bulo” o “conspiración” sin entrar en la evidencia logística, normativa ni científica que aquí se presenta. El resultado es un blindaje narrativo que complementa la infraestructura física y legal de la geoingeniería encubierta, bloqueando el debate público y reforzando la indefensión ciudadana. Impacto sobre la Conciencia Colectiva Más allá de los impactos materiales y jurídicos, la modificación encubierta del entorno natural tiene profundas consecuencias sobre el tejido psicosocial de las sociedades contemporáneas. Principales efectos sobre la conciencia colectiva: • Desconexión perceptiva: La alteración sistemática del cielo, de los ciclos naturales y de los patrones meteorológicos genera una disonancia entre la percepción directa y las narrativas oficiales, debilitando la confianza sensorial básica. • Normalización de lo anómalo: Estelas persistentes, cielos artificialmente blanquecinos, lluvias atípicas o falta de lluvias son aceptados como ”nueva normalidad” sin explicación coherente. • Inducción de indefensión aprendida: Ante la imposibilidad percibida de comprender o influir en los fenómenos atmosféricos, amplios sectores de la población desarrollan apatía, resignación y pasividad política. • Fragmentación de la narrativa colectiva: La división entre quienes observan y quienes niegan o racionalizan las alteraciones ambientales dificulta la construcción de consensos sociales para la acción. • Colonización del imaginario ambiental: La percepción del cielo y de la naturaleza como entornos controlados tecnológicamente debilita el sentido ancestral de pertenencia y respeto hacia el mundo natural. Estos efectos no son espontáneos: forman parte de una guerra cognitiva silenciosa, donde el control ambiental es también un control sobre la percepción, la emocionalidad y la voluntad colectiva. La reconstrucción de la conciencia ecológica libre es un requisito previo para la recuperación de cualquier soberanía real, tanto ambiental como democrática.” “Conclusiones Finales La evidencia documentada en este informe, basada en fuentes oficiales, observaciones directas y análisis lógico estructural, permite llegar a un conjunto de conclusiones firmes y fundamentales. Estas conclusiones no son hipótesis especulativas: son deducciones directas derivadas de los hechos constatados. El fenómeno de la modificación atmosférica encubierta no es un proyecto futuro ni un experimento limitado: • Es una realidad operativa presente. • Está integrada en las infraestructuras logísticas civiles y militares. • Funciona bajo marcos legales habilitadores cuidadosamente diseñados. • Afecta directamente la salud pública, el medio ambiente y los derechos fundamentales. • Erosiona la soberanía nacional y la estructura democrática contemporánea. • Reconfigura la percepción colectiva de la naturaleza y del poder. El informe no busca generar miedo ni desesperanza. Busca sacar a la luz la verdad oculta, devolver el conocimiento a la ciudadanía, y abrir el camino hacia la acción consciente, ética y colectiva. El hecho de que múltiples estados del mundo comiencen a legislar explícitamente contra prácticas de modificación climática indica que el fenómeno ha dejado de ser una sospecha para convertirse en un problema reconocido políticamente. Sin embargo, la persistente negación por parte de organismos internacionales y agencias científicas —sin llevar a cabo auditorías técnicas ni responder a la evidencia presentada— genera una fractura epistemológica profunda. Esta contradicción pone en evidencia una narrativa institucional desfasada respecto a los hechos observados en cielo, suelo y salud humana. La necesidad de una auditoría multidisciplinar, independiente y transparente es urgente e inaplazable. Las siguientes páginas sintetizarán las conclusiones principales y las vías abiertas para la resistencia y la regeneración.” Y ahora repasemos las conclusiones principales. “Conclusión 1: Confirmación de la Operación de Modificación Atmosférica Encubierta Los datos analizados permiten afirmar, sin margen razonable de duda, que: • Existe una operación sostenida de modificación atmosférica a escala regional y posiblemente global. • Esta operación se lleva a cabo mediante el uso de aeronaves civiles y/o militares, aprovechando la infraestructura logística energética existente. • La dispersión de compuestos en la atmósfera es persistente, sistemática y coordinada, no accidental ni natural. Los indicios no son aislados ni anecdóticos: • Cambios logísticos estructurales (privatización, control transnacional, integración logística). • Cambios legales habilitadores (RefuelEU Aviation, marcos de geoingeniería). • Observaciones físicas directas (estelas persistentes, alteraciones climáticas anómalas). • Impactos ambientales y sanitarios crecientes en las poblaciones afectadas. Por tanto, el fenómeno no puede ser ignorado ni relegado al ámbito de la especulación: es una realidad operativa comprobable mediante evidencia pública y lógica estructural. Esta confirmación marca un punto de no retorno: quien conoce estos hechos tiene la responsabilidad ética de actuar.” “Conclusión 2: Violación Sistémica de Derechos Fundamentales y de la Soberanía Ambiental La operación de modificación atmosférica encubierta implica necesariamente la vulneración masiva y sistemática de derechos fundamentales. Entre los derechos vulnerados se encuentran: • El derecho a un medio ambiente sano. • El derecho a la salud pública. • El derecho de acceso a la información ambiental. • El derecho a la participación pública en decisiones que afectan al medio ambiente. • El derecho al consentimiento informado respecto a exposiciones ambientales. A su vez, se confirma: • La pérdida efectiva de soberanía nacional en la gestión del espacio aéreo y el entorno natural. • La subordinación de las decisiones ambientales a intereses estratégicos transnacionales no sometidos a control democrático. Esta violación no es accidental: es estructural, es funcional al nuevo modelo de control geopolítico global, y se perpetúa mediante mecanismos de desinformación, opacidad y cooptación institucional. Frente a esta realidad, la defensa de los derechos fundamentales y de la soberanía ambiental se convierte en un deber ético superior para cualquier ciudadano consciente.” “Conclusión 3: Necesidad de una Respuesta Ética, Ciudadana y Científica Global Frente a la realidad confirmada de la modificación atmosférica encubierta y la violación sistemática de derechos fundamentales, la pasividad no es una opción ética. Es imperativo construir una respuesta articulada que incluya: 1. Acción ética individual: • Informarse rigurosamente. • Compartir información verificada. • Recuperar la observación directa del cielo y del entorno natural. 2. Acción ciudadana colectiva: • Organizar plataformas de denuncia, investigación y acción legal. • Exigir transparencia institucional sobre operaciones atmosféricas y composición de combustibles. • Defender el derecho a un medio ambiente sano y a la soberanía sobre el espacio aéreo. 3. Acción científica independiente: • Promover investigaciones libres sobre composición atmosférica, impactos en salud pública y alteraciones climáticas inducidas. • Crear redes de científicos éticos dispuestos a romper el silencio cómplice. 4. Acción política consciente: • Impulsar legislación que prohíba cualquier forma de modificación atmosférica encubierta. • Recuperar el control democrático sobre infraestructuras críticas energéticas y logísticas. Esta respuesta no debe ser reactiva ni fragmentada: debe ser estratégica, global y profundamente ética. La defensa del cielo, del agua, del aire y de la vida misma es hoy el núcleo de cualquier proyecto humano auténticamente libre.” “Importancia del principio de precaución: Dada la magnitud y las posibles implicaciones globales de los fenómenos aquí documentados, es imperativo aplicar el principio de precaución reconocido por el derecho ambiental internacional. Este principio exige que, ante riesgos ambientales potenciales, aunque no completamente demostrados, las autoridades deben actuar para prevenir el daño. En este contexto, tratados como el Convenio ENMOD (ONU, 1978) y la Convención de Aarhus (1998) otorgan herramientas jurídicas concretas para exigir transparencia, participación pública y acceso a la justicia ambiental. Se insta a los estados a activar estos mecanismos de forma inmediata ante la sospecha fundada de manipulación atmosférica sistemática." “Apéndice Científico: Validación Físico-Lógica del Modelo de Modificación Atmosférica 1. Dinámica Atmosférica y Formación de Estelas Persistentes Principio físico: Las estelas de condensación (“contrails”) se forman cuando los gases de escape de un avión liberan vapor de agua en un entorno con suficiente humedad relativa y temperaturas muy bajas (generalmente por debajo de −40∘C). Condiciones necesarias para persistencia: • Humedad relativa con respecto al hielo > 100 • Presión atmosférica compatible con niveles de vuelo de crucero (10.000–12.000 m). • Ausencia de cizalladura del viento que disipe la estela rápidamente. Observación empírica: Las estelas registradas a altitudes medias (7.000–9.000 m) sobre la península Ibérica, con patrones geométricos y permanencia de hasta 6 o más horas, no cumplen las condiciones meteorológicas descritas para contrails naturales. Conclusión: Su persistencia requiere la presencia de partículas higroscópicas o nucleantes artificiales, tal como describe literatura sobre geoingeniería con sulfatos, aluminosilicatos y nanopartículas de aluminio (Keith et al., 2010). 2. Composición Química: SAF y Reglamentación Europea Reglamento (UE) 2023/2405 – RefuelEU Aviation: Establece que los SAF (”Sustainable Aviation Fuels”) pueden ser mezclados progresivamente con Jet A-1 sin requerir divulgación completa de todos sus compuestos al público. Composición documentada de SAFs: Según ASTM D7566 y documentos de IATA: • SAF puede contener aditivos funcionales, modificadores de combustion, inhibidores de corrosión, etc. • No se requiere declaración pública completa si el combustible cumple con propiedades físicas estándar. Posibilidad legal: Bajo esta normativa, es legal incluir nanopartículas metálicas o agentes reflectantes si se consideran ”funcionales” y si el combustible pasa los test de densidad, viscosidad, punto de congelación, etc. Documento oficial: Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) de Neste MY SAF • La ficha pública más reciente (2024) de este combustible sostenible no declara aditivos químicos específicos. No se menciona ni qué tipo de dispersantes, metales traza ni sustancias estabilizadoras se añaden.” “¿Cómo puede decirse que todo está regulado y declarado, si los propios fabricantes tienen derecho a ocultarlo bajo secreto comercial? Regulación europea RefuelEU 2023/2405 • Permite “otros componentes funcionales” sin requerir listado detallado siempre que la mezcla cumpla propiedades físicas como densidad y punto de congelación. • Pero eso no obliga a declarar la composición molecular exacta ni prohíbe el uso de microcompuestos no detectables mediante ensayos estándar de densidad/viscosidad. En resumen: cumplir ASTM D1655 no significa que no haya aditivos atmosféricamente activos ocultos. 3. Datos ambientales que contradicen la explicación oficial Informe de metales en lluvia – España 2023 (publicación ciudadana con ICP-MS certificado) • Se detectaron concentraciones anómalas de aluminio soluble de hasta 890 g/L, en muestras tomadas tras vuelos aéreos densos. • El estudio comparativo con zonas rurales mostró una diferencia de hasta 20 veces en días de tráfico aéreo elevado. • Estos niveles no coinciden con suelos locales ni con fuentes industriales conocidas en las zonas donde se recogió la muestra. Otro estudio con SEM-EDX (espectrometría electrónica) • Detectó nanopartículas con composición compatible con óxidos de titanio-aluminiobario, en capas atmosféricas inferiores tras episodios de estelas persistentes. • Patrón idóneo para dispersión coloidal de control radiativo o de humedad. Diversos estudios independientes, observaciones meteorológicas y declaraciones oficiales han identificado componentes específicos en las estelas de condensación que podrían tener implicaciones toxicológicas. Esta sección reúne evidencias que refuerzan la necesidad de una auditoría completa de los aerosoles generados en vuelo, sin contar con los inumerables análisis independientes, de ciudadanos y organizaciones independientes, que lo demuestra claramente. Presencia de metales en estelas persistentes (UE, 2007). El eurodiputado Erik Meijer planteó en 2007 una pregunta oficial a la Comisión Europea documentando estelas persistentes con contenido en bario, aluminio y hierro, observadas en países como Canadá y Estados Unidos desde 1999. Los ciudadanos reportaban que las estelas duraban horas, formaban velos lechosos y se comportaban de forma anómala en comparación con las tradicionales. Fuente: Parlamento Europeo, documento E-6-2007-2455. En 2020, el estudio de Perring et al. (Nature Communications) evidenció la persistencia de partículas negras ultrafinas dispersadas en la troposfera media, algunas de origen no natural. Estas evidencias oficiales y semi-académicas demuestran que la composición de las estelas va mucho más allá del vapor de agua. Los elementos tóxicos detectados en estudios independientes coinciden con compuestos descritos en múltiples patentes y citados por ciudadanía vigilante desde hace más de dos décadas. Esto refuerza la necesidad de una auditoría ambiental urgente y transparente de las emisiones atmosféricas en zonas de tráfico aéreo denso. Esto contradice la tesis de que todos los niveles provienen del suelo, frenos, o “procesos naturales”.” “4. Validación legal y técnica adicional: patente española vigente Este trabajo sólo cita algunas de ellas (como US 5 003 186 A o WO 2010/018157 A1), pero existen al menos 200 patentes más que abordan: • Aerosoles de óxidos metálicos dispersables en alta atmósfera, • Inclusión de aditivos en combustibles aeronáuticos, • Sistemas de dispersión controlada vía presión diferencial o altitud, • Diseño de compuestos nanocristalinos con reflectividad selectiva y funciones de nucleación. Una de las más recientes, la patente europea EP 3994055 A1 (publicada en 2022), detalla el uso de partículas activas dispersadas en aeronaves con fines climáticos, confirmando que el principio técnico sigue vigente y en evolución. Existe una patente nacional actualmente activa que refuerza la viabilidad legal y científica del modelo propuesto: ES 2656422 T3 – Universidad de Sevilla (2017) • Título: “Composición que comprende óxidos metálicos con propiedades reflectantes y método para su introducción en combustibles aeronáuticos.” • Resumen: Esta patente propone explícitamente incorporar partículas de óxidos metálicos (como aluminio, titanio o silicio) en el combustible de aviación, con el objetivo de modificar su comportamiento térmico y reflectante en atmósfera. • Importancia: Es evidencia directa de que instituciones públicas de investigación, como la Universidad de Sevilla, han desarrollado métodos formales de geoingeniería utilizando combustible como vector de dispersión. • Estado: Activa. Consultable en OEPM y Espacenet. Referencia pública verificable. Nota aclaratoria sobre patentes citadas: La patente US 5 003 186 A y la patente española ES 2656422 T3 son documentos legales registrados oficialmente, describen explícitamente métodos técnicos viables para la dispersión de aerosoles reflectantes mediante combustible. Aunque su existencia y validez técnica están plenamente confirmadas, es importante destacar que no se dispone actualmente de pruebas directas verificadas que demuestren su uso efectivo en operaciones aéreas reales, lo que requiere auditorías técnicas independientes futuras para su confirmación definitiva. 5. Modelado Lógico del Sistema Logístico Integrado OTAN–CEPS–Exolum Hipótesis: La red CEPS, gestionada por NSPA (OTAN), puede redistribuir combustible desde terminales logísticas civiles (Exolum) hacia bases y aeropuertos sin declaración pública ni trazabilidad visible. Estructura del sistema: • 4.000+ km de oleoductos subterráneos en España (Exolum). • 39 instalaciones de almacenamiento (algunas de doble uso civil-militar). • Conectividad indirecta con la red CEPS-NSPA europea (Francia–Alemania). Modelo matemático: Red de grafos orientados (𝐺 = 𝑉 , 𝐸), donde los nodos 𝑉 son terminales y bases logíisticas, y las aristas 𝐸 son tramos de oleoducto activos. Flujos posibles: Simulaciones logísticas muestran que es posible: • Mezclar compuestos en puntos nodales sin detección civil. • Suministrar aviones comerciales desde nodos de doble uso con SAF no especificado. Documentos OTAN: MC 319/3 y la Single Fuel Policy • Permiten la modificación logística del combustible a nivel de lote y sin revisión pública externa, especialmente cuando se invoque “necesidad operativa”. • Esto abre una vía legal para modificar la mezcla sin que ninguna agencia civil (ni AENA, ni AESA, ni EASA) tenga acceso al contenido real.” “Encubrimiento institucional: verificación financiada • Organismos como Maldita.es o FullFact reciben fondos de Open Society, Google y Gates Foundation, mismos que tienen acciones cruzadas con BlackRock y Vanguard. • ¿Cómo puede llamarse eso verificación independiente? Este ecosistema narrativo no niega directamente, sólo desacredita sin refutar técnicamente. La respuesta institucional evita el fondo del debate Los informes de supuesta “verificación” evitan sistemáticamente: • Examinar el sistema logístico CEPS/NSPA, • Contrastar la cláusula de prioridad militar, • Analizar la intersección entre fondos de inversión (BlackRock/Vanguard) y el control narrativo. Se centran en negar la existencia de pruebas “oficiales”, cuando precisamente lo demostrado aquí es que el diseño del sistema impide que dichas pruebas sean obtenidas bajo el marco tradicional. 6. Fisiopatología de Nanopartículas Inhaladas Estudios clave: • Oberd”orster et al. (2005) muestran que nanopartículas de aluminio y bario cruzan la barrera hematoencefálica. • Maher et al. (2016) documentan partículas magnéticas en cerebros humanos correlacionadas con Alzheimer. Implicación: Las partículas observadas en sedimentos atmosféricos (documentadas por ciudadanos y laboratorios independientes) coinciden con las descritas en estos estudios. 7. Conclusión del Apéndice El dossier no afirma que tengamos todas las pruebas de laboratorio, sino que demuestra que existe una arquitectura logística, legal y narrativa que permite estas prácticas sin ser auditadas. El hecho de que los compuestos puedan no estar prohibidos, no estén declarados, y no se analicen sistemáticamente en laboratorios civiles, no es una defensa: es precisamente la prueba de que el programa está operativo bajo la cobertura del marco normativo actual. La ciencia expuesta refuerza que: • Las condiciones de vuelo observadas no producen estelas persistentes naturales. • La legislación permite la inclusión de compuestos no declarados en SAF. • La red logística CEPS-NSPA-Exolum puede distribuirlos sin trazabilidad directa. • La literatura científica describe daños plausibles sobre salud humana y ecosistemas por este tipo de partículas. • El sistema logístico, normativo y narrativo está diseñado para permitirla, • Las tecnologías existen, están registradas y son legales, • Existen múltiples puntos de correlación empírica que exigen ser investigados. Negar esta posibilidad no es ciencia: es política. Por tanto, el modelo expuesto en el dossier no es especulación conspirativa: es una hipótesis científica robusta basada en datos reales y coherencia sistémica. Se recomienda encarecidamente que estos resultados sean sometidos a revisión por pares científicos independientes para fortalecer aún más la base empírica del modelo propuesto.” “Anexo A – Legislación Estatal en EE.UU. sobre Geoingeniería Atmosférica (2024–2025) Durante los años 2024 y 2025, varios estados de Estados Unidos han promovido y aprobado leyes que prohíben expresamente la modificación climática mediante la liberación intencionada de sustancias químicas en la atmósfera. Estas leyes responden a peticiones ciudadanas, pruebas visuales y análisis ambientales presentados en audiencias legislativas. A continuación se documentan los casos más relevantes: 1. Tennessee – SB2691 / Public Chapter 709 (2024) Resumen: Aprobada en marzo de 2024, en vigor desde el 1 de julio del mismo año.

Meta elimina verificadores de datos en Facebook e Instagram. ¿Qué significa para el futuro de la moderación de contenido?  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoMark Zuckerberg anunció la eliminación del programa de verificación de datos de Meta en EE. UU., reemplazándolo con un sistema de 'notas comunitarias' similar al de X, antes Twitter.Sigue el Flash Diario en SpotifyLa decisión marca un cambio radical hacia la libertad de expresión al tiempo que aviva el debate sobre desinformación y censura. La medida, anunciada antes de la toma de posesión de Donald Trump, parece buscar reparar relaciones con el presidente electo y sus aliados republicanos. Esta estrategia, aplaudida por figuras como Elon Musk, preocupa a defensores de derechos digitales y podría impactar la seguridad de las marcas en redes sociales. ¿Cómo afectará este movimiento el futuro del contenido en Facebook e Instagram?  ¿Es posible que una medida así reduzca la desinformación o simplemente deje espacio para más teorías conspirativas? Esta es la pregunta que genera más debate.  El martes, Meta anunció el fin de su programa de verificación de datos independiente en Facebook e Instagram. El sistema, implementado en 2016 tras el auge de la desinformación durante las elecciones presidenciales de EE. UU., se apoyaba en verificadores externos para identificar publicaciones falsas o engañosas. Ahora, la corrección de publicaciones dependerá de los usuarios mediante "notas comunitarias", un enfoque inspirado en la plataforma X de Elon Musk. Zuckerberg defendió la medida argumentando que los verificadores eran "demasiado sesgados" y que la política de moderación había "ido demasiado lejos".  Esta decisión llega en un contexto políticamente cargado. Trump y sus aliados han criticado duramente a Meta, acusando a la compañía de censurar voces conservadoras. La eliminación de los verificadores y el traslado de los equipos de moderación de contenido de California a Texas, estado con leyes conservadoras, alimenta la narrativa de un giro hacia la derecha. Por otro lado, activistas de derechos digitales y organizaciones contra la desinformación advierten sobre los riesgos de confiar en un modelo donde los usuarios controlan la precisión de la información. Ava Lee, de Global Witness, lo describió como "un intento descarado de complacer al próximo gobierno".  El cambio ha sido celebrado por figuras como Elon Musk, quien afirmó que la medida es "un paso inteligente" hacia la libertad de expresión. Sin embargo, expertos como Jasmine Enberg, de eMarketer, alertan sobre el impacto en la seguridad de marca y la posible disminución de anunciantes preocupados por el contenido controversial. Mientras tanto, Meta asegura que seguirán moderando contenido relacionado con autolesiones y desórdenes alimenticios. Pero la incertidumbre persiste: algunos temen que al eliminar restricciones, aumenten los discursos de odio y la desinformación. En Europa, la medida podría ser inviable debido a regulaciones más estrictas.  La influencia política también ha marcado otros movimientos de Meta. Recientemente, la empresa reemplazó al centrista Nick Clegg por Joel Kaplan, exasesor de George W. Bush, conocido por apoyar causas conservadoras. Además, la incorporación de Dana White, aliado de Trump y CEO de la UFC, al directorio de Meta refuerza la percepción de un sesgo político. Zuckerberg también se reunió con Trump en Mar-a-Lago semanas antes de anunciar la eliminación de los verificadores. Por otro lado, la organización Full Fact, parte del programa de verificación en Europa, calificó la decisión como un "retroceso".  Wikipedia, por ejemplo, se autoregula mediante editores voluntarios y revisiones comunitarias rigurosas con reglas claras para garantizar calidad y neutralidad. En cambio, X confía en un sistema de "notas comunitarias" donde los usuarios aportan contexto de manera colaborativa, pero algunos críticos advierten que puede amplificar ciertas perspectivas.¿Qué opinas de este cambio? ¿Crees que aumentará la libertad de expresión o abrirá la puerta a más desinformación?

This year's UK general election saw a range of concerns about the quality of election discourse. Alongside evidence of many candidates facing abuse and intimidation, the campaign also saw the spread – particularly online – of misinformation and disinformation. Meanwhile, Labour and the Conservatives were accused of a ‘conspiracy of silence' about the costing of party manifesto pledges, and voters faced difficulties knowing where to turn for trustworthy sources of information.These challenges all threaten to undermine the UK's democratic process. So how can they be tackled? This webinar will bring together experts from the Electoral Commission, Full Fact, and the Jo Cox Civility Commission to discuss options for practical solutions.Speakers:Michela Palese – Head of Policy, Electoral CommissionChris Morris – CEO, Full FactHannah Phillips – Manager, Jo Cox Civility CommissionChair: Professor Alan Renwick – Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit LinksWebsite: www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unitMailing list: www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/get-involvedBlog: https://constitution-unit.com/

The IfG rebuttal unit kicked into gear this week after our very own Nick Davies found himself dragged into the Conservative party's tax attack on Labour. So where did that number really come from – and what can Labour do about it? Full Fact's Chris Morris joins the IfG podcast to look back on a very noisy TV debate between Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer. We're into the manifesto countdown – but will either Labour or the Conservatives say anything about the problems piling up for whoever forms the next government? A new IfG paper, The Precarious State of the State, sets out the scale and severity of the challenges likely to dominate the next parliament. Plus: The state of GPs' surgeries. Another new IfG report – out on Saturday – says GPs' surgeries are old, cramped and crumbling. So, what can be done about it? Hannah White presents, with Nick Davies and Ben Paxton.

The emerging role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping political discourse is a potential game changer. It has the capacity to fabricate fake interviews and manipulate images, all of which could mislead voters and disrupt the democratic process. But could it affect the results of our elections?We talk to Chris Morris, the head of factchecking organisation Full Fact, about the threats posed by these technologies, the potential scale of misinformation in politics, and the measures politicians and political parties need to take to counteract them.With public trust in political figures at a low ebb we discuss how AI-generated misinformation could further erode confidence in electoral integrity and democratic values and the responsibility on political parties to therefore use AI ethically.Chris Morris stresses the importance of preparing in advance for scenarios where AI could influence election outcomes, including at the individual constituency level. He suggests looking to models like that used in Canada for handling major information incidents to ensure clarity and trust in how election-related misinformation is addressed. Full Fact has called for similar proactive measures to be discussed and implemented in the UKWe also delve into the recent parliamentary rule changes that extend to all MPs a right that was previously reserved for Ministers – the right to rectify any inaccurate statements in Hansard, the official record of parliamentary proceedings. But should MPs face sanctions, perhaps even a criminal offence for lying in Parliament, if they refuse to correct inaccuracies?Full Fact frequently draws attention to inaccurate claims made by MP, but not all MPs are willing to correct the record. So, what reason do these MPs give for their unwillingness to retract inaccurate statements?And with the general election potentially just weeks away, we discuss how Full Fact is gearing up organisationally for the campaign and its role in combating misinformation. We discuss the importance of media literacy, and whether the focus of factcheckers should be on ‘pre-bunking' misinformation – putting accurate information out in the public sphere first – rather than on ‘de-bunking' false claims once they are made and the falsehoods have spread.

In this episode of Five Minutes With... we speak to Alex Brocklehurst from Full Fact, the UK's independent fact checking authority. Alex talks about issues of disinformation and how we can empower young people to help combat its spread.

Never ones to shirk a challenge, Nish and Coco launch ‘Chat Shit Get Banged', their campaign to stop politicians from lying. They get some expert help from Will Moy, from fact checkers Full Fact - he's dedicated his life to correcting the mistakes and mistruths of the people elected to lead us…not mislead us. With a general election on the horizon next year, he tells them he's done with “bullshit manifestos”, and reveals how AI could help root out the liars.Campaigning works! Nish and Coco dissect the new Renters Reform Bill, which has finally been published thanks to the tireless efforts of people like our guest Anny Cullum, one of the founders of the community union Acorn. But does it go far enough? The Bill doesn't really address rocketing rents, so we ask if rent controls are the next battleground.Plus, Nish takes on the NatCons, but has a rare good word for Jacob Rees-Mogg. We also introduce you to Marvel's newest superhero: Ombudsman, and find out why Coco knows so much about rats' mating habits.If you want to support Full Fact's campaign to amend the rules to make it easier for politicians to correct mistakes, then you can sign their petition here: https://actions.fullfact.org/petitions/mps-owe-us-truth/?utm_source=%2F&utm_medium=home Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media. Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.uk. WhatsApp: 07514 644572 (UK) or + 44 7514 644572Twitter: @podsavetheukGuests:Will Moy, Chief Exec of the fact checking charity Full Fact Anny Cullum, Policy Officer and Researcher for the tenants and community union ACORNAudio credits:https://nationalconservatism.org/@NatConTalk

The Daily Telegraph has got hold of thousands of WhatsApp messages sent by Matt Hancock when he was Health secretary during the pandemic. Meanwhile, the FBI has said it believes the most likely explanation for the origin of the pandemic is a lab leak in China.

Brady and I discuss Mis-information, Dis-information, and Fake News. We discuss what it is, how it is used, and we are all a product and target for all of it. We discuss ways to avoid deception which leads to a philosophical discussion about truth, morals, and ethics. Brady takes a moment on the couch discussing how understanding the matrix for what it is can affect you on a personal level. Links and Resources: Definitely NOT real NEWS, but FUN to read: The Onion https://www.theonion.com/ The Weekly World News https://weeklyworldnews.com/ Mad Magazine https://www.madmagazine.com/ Fight Disinformation with Fact Checking Sites: Snopes (almost everything including politics, history, science, and technology) Snopes is one of the oldest fact-checking websites on the internet and it was started by David and Barbara Mikkelson in 1994. Apart from its huge repository of debunked stories, Snopes still tackles fake news and misinformation in a smart way. As fake information is getting more sophisticated in its language and tone, users are easily falling for it. So to counter the misinformation, Snopes offers detailed explanations from genuine sources (like WHO, CDC) and sets the facts straight. https://www.snopes.com/ Politifact (all about fact-checking political claims) PolitiFact is one of the largest political fact-checking newsrooms in the US and for its impressive work in 2008, the website was awarded Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting. It’s run by the prestigious Poynter Institute (founder of International Fact-Checking Network) and reporters from the independent Tampa Bay Times. https://www.politifact.com/ FactCheck.org (political claims, rhetorics, deception, and lies) Primarily deals with political claims and rhetorics. However, the website also tries to bring accountability to public officials by exposing deception and their lies. It’s an attempt to bring more factual accuracy to the public discourse which is not just limited to politics, but also extends to TV ads, speeches, interviews, and news releases. https://www.factcheck.org/fake-news/ ProPublica (deep dive for hidden truth) ProPublica is an independent investigative online newsroom. More than a fact-checking website, but a portal where you can dive deep and find the hidden truth. For its far-reaching work in the public interest, ProPublica has been awarded several Pulitzer Prizes for public service, explanatory reporting, national reporting, and investigative journalism. As for the coverage, it goes beyond politics and looks into healthcare, education, finances, criminal justice and more. The website is funded by the Knight Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Ford Foundation, and other few philanthropic institutes. https://www.propublica.org/ OpenSecrets (politics) OpenSecrets finds the effects of money lobbying into electoral politics and fact-checks political speeches and claims. It tracks how a politician is being funded and who are the firms that are funneling money into politics. It was started by the Center for Responsive Politics (CSR) way back in 1983. And as a result of the long operation, OpenSecrets has now one of the largest public databases of donors and political beneficiaries. https://www.opensecrets.org/ Washington Post Fact Checker (critical analysis to what politicians have said this week) Fact-checking column under diplomatic correspondent, Glenn Kessler. It does not fact-check every claim on politics and economy, instead the website offers critical analysis to what politicians have said this week. It tries to underline facts and context against a seemingly factful narrative. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/ Full Fact (Fact-checking website focused on the UK and Europe) A one-stop online portal where you can find information on a wide variety of topics. Full Fact is quick to debunk claims with well-resourced articles and by citing research papers by academics and professionals. So, no matter if it’s a post about technology, medicine or some supernatural power, Full Fact sets the facts straight in a timely manner. It’s a team of independent fact-checkers and campaigners who find a multitude of viral posts from social media and expose them to counter misleading people on the internet. Full Fact runs a “Viral Posts on Facebook” page where it lists out all the outrageous claims and debunks them with detailed explanation and authentic sources. https://fullfact.org/ and for most recent https://fullfact.org/latest/ Alt News (fake claims and political misinformation in India) Alt News is also one of the few fact-checking websites in India which is certified by IFCN (International Fact-Checking Network). It’s run by Pravda Media Foundation and offers its fact-checking service in both English and Hindi. As for funding, Alt News primarily relies on user donations and other independent media trusts. The website is also in partnership with WhatsApp for busting fake news on its chat platform. Apart from that, Alt News regularly debunks claims made on social media platforms covering science, education, and society at large. https://www.altnews.in/ BOOM FactCheck (fact-checking website in India) This is a fact-checking website in India that exposes fake news on digital platformsIt. BOOM is a signatory of the IFCN Code of Principles and sticks to a high standard of fact-checking methodology. The website is run by Data journalist, Govindraj Ethiraj who earlier worked at Bloomberg. And like other fact-checking websites, Boom also relies on ads and user donations. Apart from this, Boom has a tie-up with WhatsApp to fight the war of misinformation. Boom offers its service in three languages i.e. English, Hindi, and Bengali. Further, it covers the current news cycle, political rhetorics, viral claims made on social media, urban legends, myths, and rumors. https://www.boomlive.in/ SM Hoax Slayer (fake information on social media platforms) SM Hoax Slayer is quick to debunk the claim and update the users through its social media channels. According to the founder, the project started as a place to puncture harmless lies, pranks, and rumors, but soon it developed into a full-fledged fact-checking website. Many mainstream newspapers and media houses including Aaj Tak and Navbharat Times cite SM Hoax Slayer as a reliable source for busting fake news. Coming to funding, SM Hoax Slayer is mostly run by volunteers and funded by user donations and ads. https://smhoaxslayer.com/ Reuters Fact Check (international news fact checking) https://www.reuters.com/fact-check Picks of the Week: Brady's Picks Tobii Pro: Optimizing User Experience and Advertising Research with Eye Tracking https://youtu.be/ConsSlIf6n4 Hotjar: Website Heatmaps & Behavior Analytics Tools https://www.hotjar.com/ Robert's Pick: House of the Dragon: The Game of Thrones prequel https://www.hbo.com/house-of-the-dragon Cool Shit: Realtime Global Cyber Attack Map https://threatmap.checkpoint.com/

Will Moy, Chief Executive of Full Fact, joins Anand Menon and Jill Rutter in this episode of UK in a Changing Europe's Brexit and Beyond podcast to discuss, amongst other things, the work of Full Fact and the importance of transparency and accountability in political settings.

In the fight against global warming we're constantly told to do our bit to reduce green house gas emissions. However, a claim circulating that just ‘100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions' can make any individual effort seem futile. But does this claim mean what you think it means? We look into this and the claim that the pandemic pushed South African stress levels up by 56%. With guests Abbas Panjwani from Fullfact and Kirsten Cosser from Africa Check.

How leaders can tackle misinformation - we chat to Laura Dewis, Chief Operating Officer at Full Fact   According to Ofcom's latest research more than a third of internet users are unaware that online content might be false or biased. Creating and sharing content is such a huge part of what organisations and leaders do, so how can you make sure the information you're sharing is accurate and truthful? Guiding us through these tricky issues is Laura Dewis who is Chief Operating Officer at Full Fact, a charity of independent fact checkers and campaigners who find, expose and counter the harm caused by bad information shared by anyone in public debate. Laura takes us behind the scenes at Full Fact, explaining how they operate on the front line of misinformation and disinformation. Laura's career has included roles with the BBC and the Open University, and she shares with us what she's learned about using digital to achieve impact at scale, and how tech can increase inclusion. Zoe and Paul summarise the tech news stories that have caught their eye, including the social media storm surrounding the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp courtcase, and whether being cancelled has stopped Mumford and Sons' former banjo player from picking up his phone (or banjo) again.   Notes and links - Help Full Fact by getting involved here: Help us train our AI so we can tackle misinformation and disinformation at scale: https://fullfact.org/get-involved/stats-claim-challenge/ Sign our petition (to address a broken Parliamentary system that doesn't enable all MPs to correct the record when they get something wrong): https://actions.fullfact.org/petitions/mps-owe-us-truth/ Use or test our automated fact checking software: https://fullfact.org/about/automated/ (for journalists, fact-checkers, or start-ups) Our 10 point plan on what law and regulation should do to tackle online misinformation: https://fullfact.org/about/policy/reports/full-fact-report-2022/   Tech new stories: Heard/Depp social media https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/may/15/johnny-depp-amber-heard-defamation-trial-social-media  Mumford and Sons ex-banjo player , Winston Marshall on being cancelled (paywall) https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mumford-amp-sons-winston-marshall-on-the-tweet-that-ended-his-career-dsctkz0zs Email us with your questions and ideas for future episodes startsatthetop@gmail.com And please leave us a review if you enjoy what you hear!

Propaganda in warfare is an ancient concept, but has Russia's information campaign since it invaded Ukraine taken things to a new level? Are Russia's state-controlled media and troll factories all about domestic support or an attempt to win international support? And how does the West counter fake news and help ensure that people can trust the information they see?  In this special edition of Inside Briefing, Bronwen Maddox is joined by Marianna Spring, the BBC's specialist disinformation and social media reporter, Full Fact director Will Moy, and Ian Garner, historian and translator of Russian war propaganda and author of the forthcoming Stalingrad Lives: Stories of Combat & Survival.   Produced by Candice McKenzie.

Épisode 498 : Au menu cette semaine, Whatsapp à l'heure de l'esthétique, Markito et l'hosto, désinformation autour des vaccins, bientôt du 3minutes sur TikTok, Twitter s'attaque aux propos racistes et de nouvelles fonctionnalités social chez Google !Whatsapp à l'heure de l'esthétiqueWhatsApp c’est le réseau social grand public le plus en vogue et pour cause dès qu’une nouveauté sort , tout le monde en parle, aussi petite soit elle.Récemment ce sont des mises à jours « Esthétiques » qui ont été annoncées avec la possibilité d’ajouter des fonds d’écrans personnalisés à chaque conversation.On rentre dans le micro détail, de la cosmétique pour le bien être utilisateur.La mise à jour contient également de nouveaux packs de stickers que l’on peut télécharger pour les utiliser et également un moteur de recherche permettant de trouver des stickers plus rapidement. Mais toujours pas de moteur de recherche de gifs.Les toutes dernières releases en dates étaient la possibilité d’envoyer des messages éphémères de 7jours + un outil pour simplifier le stockage de l’application.Nul n’est prophète en son pays et surtout pas Mark Zuckerberg.La ville de San Francisco à refusé qu’un des grands hôpitaux de la ville soit rebaptisé en hommage au fondateur de Facebook.Il y a 5 ans, Zuckerberg et son épouse ont fait un don de 75 millions de dollars au General Hospital de San Francisco, un hôpital public.En guise de remerciements les administrateurs de l’hôpital avaient décidé de renommer l’hôpital : Le Zuckerberg General Hospital.Dés lors cette décision fait polémique et souligne une fois de plus à quel point Mark Zuckerberg est mal perçu aux Etats Unis.En 2018, des salariés de l’hôpital avaient même organisé une manifestation pour protester contre le nom donné à leur établissement.En fin de semaine dernière, les élus de la ville ont signifié leur désapprobation de façon très clair en votant contre le changement de nom.L’un des élus municipaux à notamment expliqué que le seul hôpital public de San Francisco ne devrait pas porter le nom d’une personne responsable de la mise en danger de la santé publique dans notre pays.Plateformes VS désinformation sur les vaccinsLes réseaux sont un espace de libre expression et forcément les lieux de débat entre complotistes, fake news et donneurs d’avis. Et forcément en ce moment l’un des sujets piquants du moment est la vaccination. Et l’on observe actuellement sur les réseaux et sur le web en général une sorte de pandémie de la méfiance.Pour lutter contre cette désinformation, les plateformes vont collaborer avec l’organisation britannique Full Fact, qui s’est spécialisée dans la vérification des faitsFacebook a précisé à qu’il autorisera sur ses plateformes les contenus qui traitent des études et des essais de vaccins, mais supprimera les allégations selon lesquelles il existe un vaccin sûr et efficace « jusqu’à ce que les autorités sanitaires mondiales aient approuvé un tel vaccin ». Les publicités qui découragent les gens de se faire vacciner seront également rejetées.Twitter renvoie ses utilisateurs vers des organismes faisant autorité à ce sujet comme il a pu le faire pendant les élections.YouTube prévoit également de supprimer les allégations qui soutiendraient que le vaccin tue des personnes ou cause l’infertilité. Les théories complotistes sur des micropuces implantées sur chaque personne qui sera vaccinée ne seront également pas tolérées. Enfin, TikTok parle de supprimer les fausses informations liées aux vaccins. Le réseau social agit de manière proactive mais il s’appuie aussi sur les signalements des utilisateurs.Bientôt des vidéos de 3 minutes sur TikTok ?La plateforme s’est fait connaître pour ses vidéos courtes, très courtes… mais elle serait sur le point de modifier sa stratégie pour venir taquiner Instagram et Youtube.TikTok expérimente un nouveau format de contenu, plus long, d’une durée maximum de 3 minutes. Cette expérimentation est en cours auprès d’un petit groupe de créateurs.Aujourd’hui la limite des vidéos est fixée à 60 secondes.L’allongement de la durée pourrait permettre à TikTok de prendre des parts de marché à IGTV ou encore YouTube. Cela offrirait aussi une opportunité à de nouveaux créateurs : vlogs, tutos…Rappelons nous aussi que TikTok a signé un partenariat avec la maison de disque Sony. On peut imaginer que ce futur rallongement soit un premier pas vers l’intégration de véritables clips musicaux dans la plateforme.Twitter s’attaque aux propos racistesTwitter va désormais bannir les tweets qui « déshumanisent » les personnes en fonction de leur race, ethnie et origine nationale. Cela vient d’être annoncé dans une mise à jour des conditions d'utilisation.En juillet 2019, Twitter mettait à jour sa politique de lutte contre les propos haineux ou injurieux. Depuis, cette règle a été étendue, en mars 2020, aux discours qui s'attaquent aux personnes en raison de leur âge, leur maladie ou leur handicap.Cette fois, cette règle est élargie aux discours blessants, haineux ou
injurieux qui visent « la race, l'ethnie ou l'originale nationale » de ses utilisateurs.Concrètement, les tweets de ce type seront immédiatement supprimés après signalement. En parallèle, l'entreprise utilisera des processus automatisés pour repérer les contenus haineux. Les utilisateurs publiant ce type de messages à plusieurs reprises pourront être bannis du site. Twitter a partagé plusieurs exemples du type de tweets visés par la mesure :Exemple sur TwitterEn mars, le réseau social subissait ainsi une augmentation de 900 % des messages offensants envers la Chine et ses citoyensExemple sur YouTubeJohanna Wright vice présidente de Youtube Depuis le début de l'année 2019, le nombre de suppression de commentaires haineux a été multiplié par 46. Au dernier trimestre, plus de 1,8 million de chaînes ont été supprimées pour violation de notre politique [d'utilisation], et plus de 54 000 d'entre elles le furent pour incitation à la haine.Google ajoute des options de messagerie dans Maps et dans le SearchGoogle vient d’annoncer qu’il ajoutait de nouvelles options de messagerie à la fois dans Maps et dans la recherche. Dans Maps: à partir d'aujourd'hui, les entreprises validées sur Google My Business pourront recevoir et répondre aux messages de l'application Google Maps.Pour cela il faut avoir activé la messagerie à partir de son profil GMB.Par ailleurs, Google annonce qu’il va mettre en place le même système de messagerie en dessous de chaque Google Post.Un pas de plus pour transformer GMB en une vraie interface social media….Jusqu’à présent la manip est relativement fastidieuse pour les CM. Il faut obligatoirement en passer par l'application GMB pour pouvoir répondre. Google annonce que d’ici peu cette messagerie sera accessible dans la version desktop de GMB.. . .Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

While forgery and deception are intrinsically linked to the human condition, the information age in which we live is increasingly moving toward what author and broadcaster Nina Schick describes as the infocalypse, a point in the not-too-distant-future when it will become impossible to tell what is real and what is fake in the media we consume. Over the last decade, Nina has cultivated her expertise in geopolitics and emerging technology. She has worked on the frontline of major global events including Brexit; the EU’s migrant crisis; election interference; and on the evolution of disinformation and information warfare. Nina has advised a group of global leaders including Joe Biden, the former Vice President of the United States, and Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former Secretary General of NATO, on deepfakes.

The second episode of Future-Proofing Media Freedom looks at how media organisations are responding to the ongoing crisis of disinformation.  As landmark elections loom in, among other countries, the US and Myanmar, the role of the media as a source of trusted, accurate information is under renewed scrutiny. Social media-driven disinformation campaigns have been regular features of many recent electoral events, from the UK’s referendum on Europe to the 2016 US presidential election, and countless other local and national elections around the world. How can media organisations counter the spread of fake news, and support informed, transparent elections? Have new strategies emerged since 2016 to address disinformation campaigns? What should governments be doing to support the media sector in these endeavours?  To discuss these questions Ben Horton and Dr Julie Posetti are joined by Mevan Babakar (Deputy CEO of Full Fact), Melissa Fleming (United Nations Under-Secretary General for Global Communications), Sonny Swe (Founder of Frontier Myanmar) and Dr Ethan Zuckerman (Founder of the Institute for Digital Public Infrastructure).  Read the report: Journalism and the Pandemic Credits: Speakers: Mevan Babakar, Melissa Fleming, Sonny Swe, Ethan Zuckerman Hosts: Ben Horton, Julie Posetti Editor: Jamie Reed Recorded and produced by Chatham House, in collaboration with Luminate and the International Center for Journalists.

A flood of misinformation and disinformation followed Covid-19's arrival to Ireland. You likely saw a lot of this firsthand. Maybe it was the rumours of the Irish military being deployed to enforce lockdown, or a suggestion that drinking water would prevent you from catching Covid-19. It has become a significant feature of public discourse on the crisis in recent weeks and months, but is it here to stay, or as we begin to live alongside the virus until a vaccine arrives, will it simply ebb away? TheJournal.ie examined this in a webinar last week, organised in partnership with the European Parliament Office in Ireland.

上一集我們剛提到選舉謠言的危害，其實今年初的2020大選前後，網路和通訊軟體上也出現滿多相關的謠言。人們收到謠言之餘，除了生氣這些假消息為何傳散出來，有些人也會適時勸親友不要轉傳這些消息。但特別的是，有些人即使聽了解釋，或是讀了查核報告，還是很容易繼續相信那個謠言，究竟為什麼會這樣？傳說中的「逆火效應」是什麼？如何影響事實與謠言在閱聽眾心中的拉扯？事實查核真的有用嗎？還是反而是助長了不實訊息的延燒呢？

This is an interview with Will Moy, CEO of the UK's leading fact checking charity, FullFact.

This week an old friend of ours Brian Eggo from Glasgow Skeptics joins us to bring you a show packed with news, thoughts and curiousities. We talk about how Skeptics in the Pub events are going online, that one time Rupert Sheldrake got stabbed and how Pope Francis has nothing to offer to help with the pandemic. After the usual COVID-19 update we talk about how Sweden takes a different approach to the disease than most, why the Royal Astrologer should not be trusted, and how a German consumer reported homeopaths for offering sugar pills to avoid infection. We also talk about Massimo Polidoro's new video series, "OK Scienza", Britt Marie Hermes' law suit and the Skeptics Legal Defence initiative by the Australian Skeptics Inc. We mention how French skeptics at AFiS respond to a fake treatment Trump and Bolsonaro both promote, Fullfact brings you a list of guidelines to fact-checking and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences translates the mythbusting site of WHO. Unfortunately, the WHO also gets the prize for being Really Wrong for removing the advice not to use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) against Covid-19.

Alexis is joined with Gloria De Piero hosting talkPOLITICS. They cover Dyson being approached to manufacture ventilators with Anthony Brown and discuss the food supply chain with David Henig. Do you feel like you've been conned or scared of being scammed by fraudsters? Tom Phillips from Full Fact tries to quash your queries. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As the number of people infected with coronavirus rises rapidly in Europe and the US, can journalists ever report the situation without causing panic? In Italy the newspaper Corriere della Sera has been accused of endangering public health after it published a leak of a government order to lock down the north of the country, resulting in people fleeing the region before it was implemented. Should journalists ever withhold the truth? Also in the programme, how Good Housekeeping has become the biggest selling women's lifestyle magazine in the UK. Amol Rajan is joined by Jess Brammar, editor in chief HuffPost UK, Tom Phillips, editor Full Fact, Paul Nuki, global health security editor The Daily Telegraph, Gaby Huddart, editor in chief Good Housekeeping and Dany Mitzman, freelance journalist in Italy. Producer: Richard Hooper

This week before we get into the meat of the show, we talk Corona, Greta Thunberg and look forward to Adam Rutherford's new book, “How to Argue with a Racist”. We also have two good news for our German friends: Natalie Grams have launched her podcast “Grams' Sprechstunde” and we have a ticket raffle for SkepKon 2020 in Berlin. Tune in to find out how you can win a free ticket! In this week in history we celebrate Charles Darwin who was born on 12 February 1809. Pontus Pokes the Pope for hypocritically telling others how to reduce poverty when he personally has misplaced tens of millions of Euro from the Peters' Pence charity. Also Cardinal Barbarin get off scot-free for covering up a child molester. In the news we report that the BBC launches “My World”, a show to teach young audiences to spot fake news, that the WHO fights the “Infodemic” of fake Coronavirus rumours and that they get help from Factcheck.org and Fullfact.org. Climate change reaches new heights with the warmest January on record for Europe and Ryan Air hypocritically wants us to believe that their flights are carbon friendly (we don't buy it). We end by given a Really Wrong Award to the Swedish legal system which allows acupuncturists to ram needles into the hearts of cancer patients. That's right, heart-o-puncture™ is apparently legal.

Anti-Semitic incidents, ranging from vandalism through murder, are on the rise in Great Britain, and across Europe and North America. Julia Neuberger - Senior Rabbi at West London Synagogue, a member of the House of Lords, chair of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, and trustee of Full Fact, an organization dedicated to getting proper information and fair evidence before the public – writes for the contemporary reader who wants clarification of the way this insidious prejudice has reappeared in many parts of today's society. She explains that anti-Semitism is not only a threat to Jews, but also to other minorities and to the society as whole, as it promotes paranoid conspiracy theories and irrationality. Beginning with a history of anti-Semitism, from ancient times, through early Christianity, through the Middle Ages and on to Nazi ideology, Antisemitism: What It Is, What It Isn't, Why It Matters (Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2019) also explores the boundary between legitimate criticism of Israeli policies and anti-Semitic Israel -bashing. Neuberger describes in detail the many manifestations of anti-Semitism in Britain, particularly, but by no means exclusively, as it has developed in the British Labor Party under Jeremy Corbin. Renee Garfinkel, Ph.D. is a psychologist, writer, and Middle East commentator for the nationally syndicated TV program, The Armstrong Williams Show.

In a bumper show, we speak to Rebecca Day, live news reporter at the Manchester Evening News, on covering the range of breaking news stories around the region. We hear from Abbas Panjwani at Full Fact about how the fact-checking charity is developing AI tools to scrutinise statistics and public data and how politicans or others. And we have an update from our election coordinator Liz Hannaford about the plans for #Election2019 coverage next week.

This week on the podcast that explains the way that government works (and why it often doesn’t)... The IfG team are joined by New Statesman political editor Stephen Bush to make sense of the party manifestos. Do all the spending pledges add up? And does it matter if they don’t? There’s a bit of Brexit in there too – but what are the EU up to while UK politicians are busy knocking on doors? We also speak to Full Fact boss Will Moy about calling out politicians who don’t tell the truth. Plus: What does Breakfast at Tiffany’s have in common with the Labour manifesto? Hosted by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon and Giles Wilkes plus Stephen Bush, Georgina Wright and Gavin Freeguard. Audio production by Alex Rees.

The use of personal data by political parties, targeted online advertising, the spread of information, misinformation and disinformation on social media – technology has transformed how election campaigns unfold in the 21st century. But have our rules and regulations kept pace with technology? Is it possible to run a free and fair election in 2019? And does new technology provide opportunities to improve our electoral system, as well as dangers to be avoided? Our expert panel tackled these questions, and more. Our panel included: Sir John Holmes, chair of the Electoral Commission Liz Carolan, head of Digital Action and co-founder of the Transparent Referendum Initiative Dr Martin Moore, director of the Centre for the Study of Communication, Media and Power at King’s College, London and author of Democracy Hacked Will Moy, director of Full Fact. The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, programme director at the Institute for Government.

Discussing the so-called ‘post-truth’ culture, Tom Phillips, editor of independent fact-checking organisation Full Fact, tells Monocle Reads how humans have treated truth throughout history and identifies habits that encourage our tale-twisting tendencies.

Numbers are subverted to manipulate people and policy – we know this, history has plenty of evidence of this happening. But will numbers always be subverted? Is there anything we can do to stop that?    We start with £350 million – the famous number at the centre of the 2016 EU Referendum debate and hear from Ed Humpherson, the UK Statistics Authority’s Director General of Regulation, about how both sides stepped out of line – and what he did about it. Andreas Georgiou, former President of the Hellenic Statistical Authority, shows us how standing up for the truth of numbers can have life and death consequences; Sir David Spiegelhalter tells us why police-reported crime statistics have lost their designation as national statistics; and Will Moy, Chief Executive from Full Fact, discusses what he and his team are doing to help the public sift fact from fiction.   Numbers are being subverted – but many are on the case to put this right. Why? ICAEW Executive Director Robert Hodgkinson reminds us that this is fundamentally a conversation about ethics – what you measure, how you measure and how you communicate it frames the public debate.     Join Louise Cooper and her guests as they explore £350 million – Truth, Lies and Numbers in the new podcast series from ICAEW.    ICAEW is a world-leading professional membership organisation that promotes, develops and supports over 181,500 chartered accountants and students worldwide. We provide qualifications and professional development, share our knowledge, insight and technical expertise, and protect the quality and integrity of the accountancy and finance profession.   Want to know more?

Britse factcheckers van Full Fact roepen Facebook op om meer informatie te geven over het effect van hun werk. Sinds eind 2016 huurt Facebook partijen in om mogelijke desinformatie inhoudelijk te controleren. Wat de Britten betreft zou Facebook zich ook meer moeten focussen op de groei van het aantal gecheckte berichten.

This week, the crew look at Brexit coverage, opinions on the media from the #PeoplesVote march. We examine the actual numbers on that march with MMU crowd science expert Prof Keith Still. We debate columnists vs journalists, the EU Copyright Directive, and whether the toxic Brexit genie will ever crawl back inside its bottle.

INSTAGRAM INTRODUCE THE ABILITY TO POST TO MULTIPLE ACCOUNTSIn my opinion, I think this is a backwards step for Instagram. It will be too tempting to post the same content to multiple accounts. It is highly likely that some of your followers will follow your other accounts, therefore they will see the same content over and over. #NotGood for the user. YOUTUBE REMOVE THE ABILITY TO AUTO-TWEET VIDEOSAs of January 31st, YouTube creators will no longer be able to set up automated posts to Twitter. I am not sure if this is a YouTube decision or a Twitter decision, but either way, I think it is probably a good thing. Less automation on Twitter is always a good thing. GOOGLE CHROME'S AD-BLOCKER WILL COME INTO EFFECT IN JULY 2019This shows how forward-thinking Google is. Rather than let broader ad blockers rule the way forward, Google decided to create its own blocker, which would stop showing ads - including those owned or served by Google - on websites which were not compliant with the Better Ads Standards! Way to go Google! TWITTER UPGRADED THE SCHEDULING FEATURE ON TWEETDECKAs YouTube remove the ability to automatically post your videos to Twitter, Tweetdeck (owned by Twitter) announced the ability to schedule videos and multiple images to the platform. Are Twitter finally investing in the platform? I am wondering if Twitter will revoke the "scheduling" API from other platforms such as Hootsuite etc in the future? FACEBOOK TACKLE FAKE NEWS IN THE UK WITH NEW FACT-FIND SERVICEFacebook is partnering up with Full Fact, a British charitable organization that focuses on fact-checking, to get rid of fake news in the UK, the company announced Friday. This is a continuation of Facebook's efforts to combat fake news, which the company ramped up after the 2016 election, but it's the first time the company has launched such an initiative in the UK. Tool of the week - JuicerDo you run networking events, training days or expos? If so then this new tool may just be what you are looking for?

Facebook has contracted a UK charity to help stop fake news. But does the growth of professional fact-checkers undermine real journalists? Also in the show, how foreign media are reporting Brexit. Amol is joined by Will Moy, director of Full Fact, Diana Zimmermann, ZDF's UK and Ireland correspondent, Joy Reid, TVNZ 1 News Europe correspondent, and Matthew Chance, CNN's Senior International Correspondent. Presenter: Amol Rajan Producer: Richard Hooper

In a world where facts are increasingly up for debate, who is fact-checking actually for? It's one of the biggest questions in journalism, and we're tackling it for our very first episode. First, Amy Sippitt talks about who reads stories from Full Fact, a fact-checking project in the United Kingdom (Spoiler: It's mostly men!) Then, Brendan Nyhan from the University of Michigan gives us the lowdown on which audience needs fact-checking the most.(Mis)informed is hosted by Daniel Funke and produced by Vanya Tsvetkova, an interactive learning producer at Poynter's News University. It was edited by Alexios Mantzarlis, with additional editing and creative direction from Alex Laughlin.Let us know what you think by tweeting @factchecknet and read more coverage of misinformation at poy.nu/AllTheFacts.

Fake news can be responded to with fact-checking. However, it's easier to create fake news than the fact check it. Full Fact is the UK's independent fact-checking organization. In this episode, Kyle interviews Mevan Babakar, head of automated fact-checking at Full Fact. Our discussion talks about the process and challenges in doing fact-checking. Full Fact has been exploring ways in which machine learning can assist in automating parts of the fact-checking process. Progress in areas like this allows journalists to be more effective and rapid in responding to new information.

We talk about fake news, technology, access to technology and digital exclusion. We realise that if people just paid £3 a year for Facebook we could have avoided a lot of these problems...---- This week's (and possibly a couple of last week's) links ----[1] PICTFOR event https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pictfor-shoreditch-summer-reception-fake-news-what-is-digitals-impact-on-democracy-tickets-48363993005 [2] Bob Mortimer does his own dentistry - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgI3Y7gxMO4[3] Fishing with Bob + Paul https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b7r2kb[4] Apostille Convention - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostille_Convention[5] park4night van owners’ app - https://www.park4night.com/[6] Michael’s mechanical Eurorack prototype on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/p/BnYcPxdgdmA/[7] Graham Dunning Mechanical Techno - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl1ZrEza7uY [8] glitch uk - https://seyiakiwowo.com/glitchuk/ [9] Denmark responds to Fox News misinformation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjKMCT5zCng[10] Contrapoints on god’s fragile ego - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyaftqCORT4[11] Wikitribune - https://www.wikitribune.com/[12] Leave campaign fined - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44080096[13] Contrapoints on Incels - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD2briZ6fB0[14] Zuckerberg responding to senators - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stXgn2iZAAY [15] Anna card https://anna.money [16] MonoDevelop - https://www.monodevelop.com/[17] Full Fact - https://fullfact.org/[18] Snopes - https://www.snopes.com[19] Some Hillary Clinton fake news stories on Snopes: https://www.snopes.com/tag/hillary-clinton/---- Credits ----Music by http://michaelforrestmusic.comTalking is by Ivanka Majic and Michael Forrest---- Follow us on Twitter ----https://twitter.com/ivankahttps://twitter.com/michaelforresthttps://twitter.com/PodcastGrand---- Grand Podcast Library ----Find links to everything we've mentioned on the podcast at http://grandpodcast.com/library---- Find us on Facebook ----https://www.facebook.com/grandpodcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week Ivanka gives us a taste of the bureaucracy we can all look forward to post-Brexit. Michael nerds out describing some creative processes.

Why are people spending real money to buy land that only exists in virtual reality? In the virtual world of Decentraland, users can build whatever they can imagine. Some hope to make a profit by trading goods and services using the social platform’s own cryptocurrency. Could this be the birth of a new virtual economy or a cryptocurrency bubble waiting to burst? Could computers do a better job than humans at exposing fake news? Tim Harford interviews Mevan Babakar of the fact-checking organisation Fullfact about the software tools she and her team are building to try to automatically verify statistical claims. Why would you go to the coldest place on Earth? A place mostly devoid of life, where there are rarely more than a few thousand other humans spread out across a landmass twice the size of Australia. Shabnam Grewal reports on Antarctica whose sublime beauty is matched by its capacity to kill you, very fast. (Photo Credit: Decentraland.org)

This week we talk to Mevan Babakar. Mevan is Head of Automated Factchecking at the factcheking charity Fullfact. In this episode we talk about why facts are important to democracy, the prospects for realtime factchecking in politics and how AI can play a role in helping improve the quality of political debate across the world. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this episode we start by talking mediums and frauds through the example of Colin Fry, then move on to our news items, including: - Full Fact's survey into how and why people fact-checking - A new book in Portugal to equip readers against the antivax movement - EU actions on vaccine preventable diseases - NHS West Midlands asking parents to vaccinate - The Hungarian Academy of Sciences finally taking a stand against pseudoscience - The new nonsense of intravaginal manipulations done by osteopaths - A fraudulent researcher in Sweden spreading misinformation about HPV vaccines - Former president of Medical Chamber of Slovenia performing "Rigvir" treatments in Latvia - The new minister of Human Capacities in Hungary claiming that following the Ten Commandments can save you from illnesses - The Daily Express claiming that eating blackberries prevents skin cancer The Really Wrong Price goes to IKEA for a shitty experiment on how plants can't stand bullying.

This week talk about the inspiration for Mel Gibson's the Passion of the Christ, alternative treatments in Valencia, the Heilpraktiker system in Germany, whether Down's syndrome has been eradicated in Iceland and the new Full Fact tool. Then we dive deep into the measles epidemic in Europe and the problem of crowdfunding for cancer trips to Mexico.

The Brexit referendum and the election of US President Donald Trump sparked widespread interest in the role of facts in political and policy debate, both among the behaviour of traditional political actors and the proliferation of information sources online. But concern about unreality in politics and public life existed before 2016. So how big is the problem really? And is there anything to be done to turn back the tide? To discuss this, the Institute for Government welcomed Evan Davis, BBC presenter, economist and author of Post-Truth: Why We Have Reached Peak Bullshit and What We Can Do About It. Will Moy, Director of Full Fact, which ran a Facebook and Google-backed fact-checking and verification campaign during the General Election, also joined the event. The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

The automated fact-checking tools, called Live and Trends, will be available in 2018 to journalists and fact-checkers globally

We depart from the usual format this week to bring you two fascinating interviews about the craft of journalism: Mevan Babakar and Phoebe Arnold from Full Fact discuss the art of fact checking and its role in the digital age. Olly also talks to the obituaries editor of the Times, Simon Pearson, on how to write the final word on a person's life. This is interview was first published on Olly's other, other podcast series The Modern Mann - but this has some bonus content especially for Media Podcast listeners. Enjoy!

In the post truth era of fake news, Geoff speaks to Will Moy of Full Fact, who make it their business to sort the fake from our news.

Many news outlets have reported this week that a Waitrose supermarket pushes up house prices in the surrounding area. It’s based on research that also suggests that other supermarkets have a similar but smaller effect. We take a highly sceptical look at the correlation. Statistics and the EU referendum campaign We look at how the two campaigns, the media, and the much-discussed “experts” used statistics during the EU referendum campaign. Tim Harford interviews Will Moy, director of Fullfact, and Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Antiques Roadshow BBC One’s Antiques Roadshow is a hugely popular television programme, where experts examine and value antiques and collectables. We ask whether the items featured really jump in value, or are we just seeing the price tag rise over the centuries in line with inflation? More Or Less reporter Charlotte McDonald heads down to the show to find out. Computer Science and Socks Tim Harford speaks to Brian Christian, co-author of ‘Algorithms to Live by: The Computer Science of Human Decisions’. How can the techniques of computer science help us in every-day situations? And, most importantly, which algorithm will help our reporter Jordan Dunbar sort out his socks?
