“But it also says they can’t 'significantly encourage’ platforms to remove lawful content, so the real question is what that means,” she said.

That's such a lazy surface level of interacting with any story - at this point I am just ~exhausted~ by it.
"But what about..?"
No. Stop. It.
No Disney media you can think of qualifies.
Parents stop projecting.

Both surveys & #consumer behavior suggest, on the contrary, that while most Americans feel that they’re doing OK, they believe that the #economy is doing badly, where “the economy” presumably means other people.
(Which means #media whether “#newspapers”, #CableNews, or #internet platforms, the #sensationalized #alarmism particularly on the right is mis/disinforming people)

“I blended UW’s more science-oriented focus with a journalism-literacy focus to create a new course,” Banville said. “But I kept the name, because ... well, because.”

Disinformation researchers targets of conservative culture warriors, ironically chilling free speech as they purport to defend it :-(

Greetings, Mastodon! 💫
I’m a strong believer in writing from wherever the day’s feelings find you. This week, they found me frozen, while reviewing the news and wondering how on earth to use our impoverished media spheres to build a conversation strong enough to meet our global needs.
I have no set answers in this week’s first #Newsletter - but I wanted you to know that you’re not alone with the questions.

Bad news
#SocialMedia companies are receding from their role as #watchdogs against #political #misinformation, abandoning their most aggressive efforts to police online falsehoods in a trend expected to profoundly affect the 2024 presidential election.

(1/3) Thanks to Jason Neiffer’s AI tool recommendations in tonight’s EdTech Situation Room (Ep 303) I did some quick comparisons between two tools.
#MediaLit #MediaLiteracy #AI #GenerativeAI
First, since I’m in the AI beta for Google Tools, the built-in “Help Me Visualize” option in Google Slides! Image generation takes about 20 seconds, and (in Jason’s words) looks like Stable Diffusion about 6 months ago, but it’s still OK and super easy to use!
Second, a new tool for me: Ideogram
