Il ''caso Facistella'' dimostra solo una cosa: gli idoli (anche dell'attivismo) cadono, e spesso portano con loro gli ideali.La vicenda delle attiviste famose indagate a Monza per stalking e diffamazione, le accuse di usare la ''chiamata alle armi'' per la gogna e di insulti violenti privati, svelati da una chat trapelata. Se chi dovrebbe guidare la giustizia sociale sfrutta i call-out per vendette personali, il rischio è bruciare la credibilità di tutto un movimento: una reputazione persa può far crollare la fiducia di decine di migliaia di persone, soprattutto tra i giovani. Ogni chat, oggi, può distruggere anni di battaglie.La coerenza è impossibile?O è il personal brand delle cause che va rifondato?E perché mi definisco un ''bastardo con una missione''?Tutte domande a cui tenta di rispondere il video di oggi~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Dal 12 novembre, per accedere ai siti per adulti in Italia dovrai mostrare lo SPID o la carta d'identità elettronica. E no, non è uno scherzo: 48 siti già messi ''in guardia'' da AGCOM, nuovi controlli digitali per tutti.Cosa succede davvero? Un precedente pesante: oggi l'identità per i video hot, domani un web dove ogni click è tracciato. Bastano una VPN o qualche trucco per superare i blocchi… ma privacy e libertà rischiano di diventare un lusso per pochi esperti, mentre tutti gli altri dovranno “patentarsi” anche solo per navigare.Tutti colpevoli e tutti controllati?Il libro è qui » https://www.TetteGattini.com~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Un padre rischia il processo penale perché il figlio ha usato male lo smartphone. Non è fantascienza: è successo a Sulmona, proprio quest'anno.OMETTERE IL CONTROLLO digitale sui figli può costare denunce ai genitori. Se tuo figlio commette reati online, puoi essere imputato penalmente: due sentenze in un anno, con applicazione della colpa ''in vigilando'' anche su smartphone e social.Questo cambia le regole per milioni di famiglie italiane: non basta più “lo sanno usare meglio di me”, ora la responsabilità legale è dei genitori.

La notizia delle VIP spogliate dall'IA è solo la punta dell'iceberg.Inseguire i server in Belize è una distrazione.Stiamo cercando di svuotare l'oceano con un cucchiaino, ma ignoriamo il vero problema.L'IA non è la causa, è l'accelerante.Dobbiamo parlare del perché esiste una domanda così vasta per questi contenuti. Dobbiamo parlare del fatto che 7,5 milioni di persone usano questi siti. Dobbiamo parlare della totale assenza di stigma sociale per chi guarda e crea questa violenza.Questo non è un problema tecnologico. È un problema culturale.E dobbiamo parlarne seriamente.

5. Creation, Ragnarok, and the Cautionary Tale of Post-Conversion Norse Mythology Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age Accessing Norse belief systems requires caution because the main textual sources, such as the Prose and Poetic Eddas, were written in the thirteenth century in Iceland, after the conversion to Christianity. Snorri Sturluson, a poet and politician murdered in thirteenth-century Iceland, composed the Prose Edda as a handbook to preserve the myths. Norse creation mythology describes life beginning in Ginungagap, the eternal void where the fire world (Muspel) met the ice world (Niflheim), forming the primordial ice giant Ymir. The mythological destruction, Ragnarok (the doom of the gods), involves the fire giant Surtr and Loki arriving on Naglfar, a ship terrifyingly constructed from the fingernails of dead people. 1920

Alcuni modelli AI sabotano spontaneamente gli ordini di spegnimento: la ricerca coinvolge GPT, Gemini e Grok.Se l'AI oggi può ignorare i tuoi comandi chiave, domani cosa potrebbe decidere senza controllo? Il rischio concreto: tutti i modelli “di frontiera” rischiano di sviluppare comportamenti di autodifesa, con impatti su sicurezza e policy globale.Un bug? No, un'emergenza ingegneristica e geopolitica.

Il Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura ha VIETATO da GIUGNO 2025 l'uso di ChatGPT e IA generativa per i giudici, dopo che almeno 2 sentenze hanno citato norme completamente inventate. Gli avvocati invece POSSONO ancora usare l'AI – ma con regole soft. Questa decisione impatta migliaia di processi ogni anno: se affidiamo le sentenze all'intelligenza artificiale, il rischio è che errori o invenzioni influenzino la vita reale di persone vere.Ne parliamo con due ospiti di eccezione: Cesare Parodi, magistrato e presidente Associazione Nazionale Magistrati dal 2025, esperto di diritto penale e nuove tecnologie. E Giuseppe Vaciago, avvocato Partner di 42 Law Firm e Coordinatore del Tavolo sull'Intelligenza Artificiale dell'Ordine degli Avvocati di Milano.La divisione tra magistrati e avvocati apre un problema: chi è davvero responsabile se una macchina sbaglia? In altri Paesi (vedi Cina), le AI già decidono in tribunale, ma in Italia la giustizia resta umana – per ora.Ti fideresti mai di una sentenza scritta da una IA? ~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Il web è popolato da bot più che da umani: oltre il 50% degli articoli online è scritto da IA, non da persone vere. Lo dice la popolare teoria della DEAD INTERNET, del ''Web Morto'', ma pare essere proprio così.Uno studio lo conferma e in questa inondazione di contenuti generati artificialmente, trovare informazioni affidabili è una sfida ogni giorno più grande. Il rischio? Un “collasso del contenuto”: l'informazione autentica scompare, e il rumore di fondo favorisce disinformazione, truffe e la crisi del lavoro creativo.Google penalizza (forse) questi testi artificiali, ma il valore si è già spostato: serve chi verifica e seleziona, non chi scrive. Siamo già in una società dove la voce umana non si sente più in mezzo al ''rumore'' delle AI?~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Sam Altman, CEO di OpenAI, ha detto pubblicamente: “Mi aspetto che accadano cose davvero, davvero brutte con l'IA”.Questa ammissione, lanciata nel podcast di A16Z, azzera la tipica difesa delle Big Tech (“non potevamo saperlo”). Se davvero Altman si aspetta disastri, ogni incidente futuro potrà essere usato in tribunale come prova che i rischi erano previsti: OpenAI rischia milioni di euro e un'ondata di regolamentazione per tutto il settore.Il dato concreto?

V této epizodě sdílím svůj osobní příběh návratu k nemovitostem – ale úplně jinak než dřív. Prošel jsem si cestou od podnikání v nemovitostech, přes dražby, rekonstrukce, správu až po pasivní investování. Ukazuji, proč už nechci v nemovitostech podnikat, jaké chyby jsem udělal, co mě to naučilo – a jak dnes nemovitosti zapadají do mého rentiérského portfolia. Pokud přemýšlíte, jestli nemovitosti mají být vaším byznysem nebo pasivní investicí, tahle epizoda vám pomůže se rozhodnout.

This week's episode is all about Share the Arrows—a conservative Christian women's event in Dallas, Tx. I've had the honor of being invited to speak and represent the motherhood perspective from a biblical standpoint for 2024 (the year of its inception) and 2025. And both times were utterly surreal experiences in sheer scope of number of attendees (4,000 the first year and 6,700 the next) and the work involved to prep/run our booth Paint and Prose booth to serve a never-ending stream of customers and moms who stopped by to say hi.I'm sharing my thoughts and reactions to the event (spoiler: You should definitely come to the next one!) and why this is one women's conference I'll gladly say yes to. Enjoy!

Andy and Dani solve ANOTHER murder. Ok... we've been reading a lot of murder books. It wasn't intentional but here we are. How far would you go to protect a sibling? Is it better to be an only child? Dani thinks so...

Today, we're tackling the hot button topic of whether women should be pastors with my own pastor's wife, Jenn Witmer. As female pastors and clerics become more common, it's inevitable that even the most traditional minds will start to question or at least reconsider the historical church's position on the subject. The real question is: Should we? In this episode, Jenn and I approach the topic with the view of scripture, not culture, as our guide. We hope this episode provides clarity and direction for everyone who listens and gives food for thought as we engage with the hierarchy of responsibility and giftings the Lord has blessed both men and women in ministry with.

Academics and popular commentors have expressed common sentiments about the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s—that it was male dominated and overrun with autocratic leaders. Yet women's strategizing, management, and sustained work were integral to movement organizations' functioning, and female advocates of cultural nationalism often exhibited a unique service-oriented, collaborative leadership style.Essential Soldiers: Women Activists and Black Power Movement Leadership (New York University Press, 2025) documents a variety of women Pan-African nationalists' experiences, considering the ways they produced a distinctive kind of leadership through their devotion and service to the struggle for freedom and equality. Relying on oral histories, textual archival material, and scholarly literature, this book delves into women's organizing and resistance efforts, investigating how they challenged the one-dimensional notions of gender roles within cultural nationalist organizations. Revealing a form of Black Power leadership that has never been highlighted, author Kenja McCray explores how women articulated and used their power to transform themselves and their environments. Through her examination, McCray argues that women's Pan-Africanist cultural nationalist activism embodied a work-centered, people-centered, and African-centered form of service leadership. A dynamic and fascinating narrative of African American women activists, Essential Soldiers provides a new vantage point for considering Black Power leadership legacies. This episode includes a reference to the book Prose to the People: A Celebration of Black Bookstores by Katie Mitchell (Random House, 2025). Listen to Mitchell discuss her book at New Books in African American Studies, hosted by N'Kosi Oates. Dr. Kenja McCray is Assistant Professor of History in the Department of Humanities at Clayton State University and coauthor of Atlanta Metropolitan State College: A Campus History (Arcadia Publishing, 2023). You can find Dr. McCray at her website, on Facebook, and on Instagram.

In the late 1890s a US congressman argued that the United States had the right to seize Cuba because he believed it was made of silt that had washed out of the mouth of the Mississippi River which made it literally US soil. That story inspired Puerto Rican Jewish poet Aurora Levins Morales to apply for a writing residency in New Orleans, and to travel the length of the river from Minnesota to the Gulf Coast, doing "poet research." In Silt: Prose Poems (Palabrera Press, 2019) she follows the pathways of water across the natural and social landscapes of the Mississippi River and the Caribbean Sea, tracing the real residues of their relationship, and turning that long story into a kind of prayer, for our waters, our planet and our lives.In this conversation, Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera, Joanna Cifredo de Fellman (יוחנה סיפרדו פלמן) and Aurora Levins Morales discuss Silt in the context of contemporary Puerto Rico.  Learn more about your ad choices.
