Pre-bunking information‚ pre-crime‚ etc. etc. – it all could easily spell out post-democracy‚ observers critical of the trends keep saying. None of their arguments‚ however‚ seem to be reaching or affecting top EU bureaucrats‚ VÄ›ra Jourová – vice president of the European Commission for none other than “values and transparency” – being one of them. Vera’s in Davos this week – where else – and has been telling a World Economic Forum (WEF) panel about things like deploying law enforcement to deal with “conspiracy theories‚” pre-bunking information considered as disinformation‚ censorship of that‚ but also of hate speech” – and then‚ to top it off‚ about her alleged love of “freedom of speech.” https://video.reclaimthenet.org/articles/wef-2024-defending-truth-1.mp4 The moderator cited WEF’s own “global risk report” for this year which allegedly found that “disinformation is actually the top risk which people cited for the next couple of years” – to ask Jourova about the EU strategy in this respect. She quickly launched into branding “this information” – i.e.‚ disinformation as a “security threat” and listed a number of things the EU is doing to mitigate it: strengthen “strong professional media‚” and‚ “work with (online) platforms.” That‚ Jourová quickly explained‚ means mainly “fact-checking.” And‚ she added‚ “We have all the big tech under the commitment of the Code of Practice against this information.” And then she arrived at “pre-bunking.” According to Jourova‚ it means forcing the raising of awareness‚ and at the same time‚ “lowering of the absorption capacity in the society to believe the lies.” https://video.reclaimthenet.org/articles/wef-2024-defending-truth-5.mp4 Very interesting wording‚ especially going from the usual‚ “lowering absorption” to‚ lowering the capacity for it. “Pre-bunking” is usually defined as a preemptive measure (Vera used the word‚ predictive)‚ so as to discredit an account or information‚ and “refute” information even before it gets disseminated. A fairly convoluted censorship game here‚ and the EU bureaucrat had more good news for the WEF attendees: the bloc‚ she assured them‚ is taking care (by means of censorship) of “hate speech and disinformation.” Then‚ as if to also reassure everyone hypocrisy is alive and well in the EU‚ she talked about supporting freedom of speech. Jourová‚ who is Czech‚ referred to “living half her life in an authoritarian regime” (a reference to the Cold War). Judging by the policies she is promoting‚ she is sadly determined to spend the rest of it the same way.

Now this publication‚ owned by the British Medical Association‚ is exploring how to deploy no less than “behavioral interventions” to bring about less “vaccine hesitancy.” And the article doesn’t stop at medical arguments. The hesitancy here is specifically linked with social media driven “misinformation.” The recommendations don’t differ greatly from what those Big Tech social subsidiaries have been including for years in their policies – and these “guidelines” were probably cooked in the same kitchen‚ so to speak. Things like‚ boosting the visibility of “reliable health information” and more “pro-action” on these platforms “in dealing with the proliferation of misinformation.” First‚ the authors of the piece seek to define the way in which social media affects vaccination campaigns. The take is basically entirely negative – asserting that this effect amounts to misinformation only. Paying lip service to genuine safety concerns playing a role in low uptake‚ the BMJ instantly switches back to playing up the danger of hesitancy. Thus – there’s been a “return of measles” as of late. And‚ the implication is‚ the World Health Organization (WHO) used that among other things to issue an extreme “decree” to the world – that vaccine hesitancy is “among the greatest threats to global health‚” WHO said. And while the article positions the concern about vaccination in general – including decades-long used and tested ones – the highly controversial Covid jab eventually makes an appearance. And it is mentioned as that point where this general “hesitancy” gained momentum‚ with the social media – rather than the sketchy nature of these particular vaccines – to blame. Now for the “solutions‚” specifically those based on behavioral interventions methods‚ or let’s say‚ “reprogramming.” Here’s what BMJ says are standard behavioral approaches: encouraging vaccination by “(including) mandatory vaccination and regulation for healthcare professionals‚ incentives‚ public health communication campaigns‚ and engaging trusted leaders.” Don’t feel bad if the term “orchestrated campaign” occurs to you as you read the BMJ mentioning “pre-bunking” information as one way to deal with this problem of its own making. “Pre-bunking” enthusiasts are now cropping up all over the place. And there’s more ways to inoculate people than just against viruses – there’s also manipulative “inoculation” against broad-minded consideration of all available information. The BMJ says: “Other intervention types include warning (‘inoculating’) people about manipulation tactics using non-harmful exposure as a tool to identify misinformation‚ and using accuracy prompts to trigger people to consider the truthfulness of material they are about to share on social media platforms‚ without stopping them from posting.” The post BMJ Report Recommends “Behavioral Interventions” To “Reduce Vaccine Hesitancy Driven by Misinformation on Social Media” appeared first on Reclaim The Net.

Moscow’s parliament is set to contemplate the introduction of a regulation that may grant the authority to seize assets‚ such as financial resources‚ valuable goods‚ and real estate from individuals accused of disseminating “knowingly false narratives” concerning the Russian military operations‚ according to a prominent legislator’s statement on Saturday. Vyacheslav Volodin‚ the presiding officer of the State Duma‚ the lower house of the Russian parliament‚ posted a note on Telegram explaining that the proposal would target individuals advocating for “extremist behaviors” or suggesting sanctions against Russia. Reports that undermine the reputation of the Russian military‚ currently classified as a criminal act under newly implemented stringent regulations post Russia’s deployment of forces in Ukraine in February 2022‚ will also face the same consequences. “Everyone who tries to destroy Russia‚ betrays it‚ must suffer the deserved punishment and compensate for the damage inflicted on the country‚ at the cost of their property‚” Volodin said. He added that under the law‚ those found guilty of “discrediting” the army also face being stripped of any honorary titles. The legislative proposal was scheduled for review in the State Duma on Monday‚ according to Volodin’s statement. Narratives slandering the reputation of the Russian military‚ including those classified as promoting terrorism and spreading fictitious reports about Russian forces‚ are currently checked under an existing legal framework.

In a year marked by dwindling public trust in key institutions and heralded by the theme “Rebuilding Trust” at the World Economic Forum’s annual Davos assembly‚ Emma Tucker‚ the Wall Street Journal’s Editor in Chief‚ has called for a reevaluation of how traditional media operates. Recalling a point when the mainstream press was the chief adjudicator of information and facts‚ she highlighted its demise that came with the rise of alternative media platforms. Tucker‚ during a Davos panel supposedly dedicated to the preservation of truth‚ offered a lament for the era when the press held exclusive dominance over news and facts. “If you go back not that long ago‚ We owned the news. We were the gatekeepers‚ and we very much owned the facts as well‚” Tucker said. “If it said it in the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times‚ then that was a fact. Nowadays‚ people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news‚ and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.” https://video.reclaimthenet.org/articles/wsj-control-media.mp4 Not only do her comments reveal a lot about how mainstream media figures see their role in society‚ her comment painted a clear picture of the power shift that has marked the recent history of the media landscape. “So it’s no longer good enough for us to say this is what happened‚ or this is the news. We almost have to explain our working. So readers expect to understand how we source stories‚ they want to know how we go about getting stories‚” she continued. “We have to sort of lift the bonnet as it were in a way that newspapers aren’t used to doing‚ and explain to people what we’re doing. We need to be much more transparent about how we go about collecting the news‚” Tucker added.

Distrust in science has become an ever-growing theme across the globe‚ not least in the US where the public perception of some scientific topics – notably COVID-19 and climate change – has become dominated by partisanship‚ politicization‚ and conspiracy theories. According to a new study‚ support for former President Donald Trump is a major variable that can predict whether a person will reject the scientific consensus on these subjects.In other words‚ buying into populist Conservative ideology and “Trumpism” increases the chances of a person not believing the accepted science of COVID-19 and climate change.These two subjects were the most outstanding sticking points‚ but Trumpism was also associated with people believing in a whole load of wildly anti-scientific ideas‚ albeit to a less significant extent. “Trump approval correlates with other conspiracy or science-rejecting views. Trumpists indicate higher agreement not only with flat Earth and Moon landing conspiracies‚ but also that vaccinations implant tracking microchips‚ and COVID-19 dangers have been exaggerated by scientists‚” the study reads. “At the same time‚ they express lower agreement with scientific conclusions that the Earth is billions of years old‚ humans evolved from earlier forms of life‚ human activities are changing the climate‚ or vaccines are mostly beneficial‚” it adds.Some other interesting insights from the new study include:Women are more likely than men to reject COVID-19 vaccines‚ but climate change denial was equally common among both men and women.Science rejection is less common among people with higher levels of education.Vaccine rejection is more common in low-income households‚ although income has no impact on climate-change views.The probability of climate change denial increases with age‚ while the probability of vaccine rejection decreases as people get older.Around 10 percent of the total people surveyed thought the Earth is flat‚ while a further 9 percent were unsure whether the Earth is flat. The new study was carried out by Professor Lawrence Hamilton‚ a sociologist at the University of New Hampshire‚ whose work uses statistical analysis to understand public perceptions of the environment‚ energy sources‚ and climate change. To reach these findings‚ he analyzed data from an online survey called POLES 2021‚ answered by 1‚134 US adults in the summer and early fall of 2021. The survey contains a variety of questions that asked about the respondents’ sociopolitical identity and background‚ as well as their views on things like the world’s climate and COVID-19. The study notes that conservative political identity has long been associated with lower concern about environmental problems and traditionally rejects strong state interventions‚ such as lockdowns‚ vaccine mandates‚ etc. However‚ these themes have become supercharged over the past decade through populist politics‚ which has exploited a growing distrust of “the establishment” (whatever one perceives that to be).“In the case of climate change and COVID‚ preexisting biases against scientists were reinforced by messaging from economic and political elites serving interests such as fossil fuel use or Trump’s re-election‚” the study adds. The study did not offer any ideas on how to regain the public’s trust in science‚ nor how this anti-science trend might develop in the years ahead. Trump was voted out of the White House in 2020‚ but he remains a dominant force in US politics and his 2024 presidential campaign is gaining substantial traction. Whatever the future may hold‚ it seems like the rise of anti-science is far from over. “Although Trump’s personal future is uncertain‚ his deep effects on US society are unlikely to go away soon; under some scenarios they could intensify. Even if support for Trump himself narrows‚ for example‚ elements of conspiracism and science rejection might become more pronounced among his core believers‚ or attach to new grievances and leaders‚” the study concludes.The new study is published in the journal PLOS One.
