What can the spread of QAnon from the US to Europe teach us about tackling disinformation and understanding countries’ vulnerabilities to viral conspiracy theories.Lighthouse ReportsandBellingcathave documented the spread of the QAnon to seven target countries in Europe, building a quantitative and qualitative understanding of the phenomenon. What can this experience tell us about the value of having an evidence base of local QAnon networks and narratives? How can data science support reporting on conspiracies and how can tools like Telegram scrapers be useful for analysis? While many analysts expected the conspiracy to end when Q went silent, the movement has remained active, compared in some quarters to a viral epidemic and in others to a religion. Europe’s experience of QAnon holds important lessons for journalists, policy-makers and anyone working to counter the effects of disinformation. Organised in association with Lighthouse Reports and Bellingcat.

Noam Chomsky FULL INTERVIEW: on Ukraine, Brexit and “the most dangerous time in world history”

Noam Chomsky: “We’re approaching the most dangerous point in human history”
US professor, Noam Chomsky now 93, joins George Eaton to discuss the Ukraine Russia War, the climate catastrophe, Keir Starmer's Labour Party, Brexit, and much more.
“It’s monstrous for Ukraine,” he said. In common with many Jews, Noam Chomsky has a family connection to the region: his father was born in present-day Ukraine and emigrated to the US in 1913 to avoid serving in the tsarist army; his mother was born in Belarus. Chomsky, who is often accused by critics of refusing to condemn any anti-Western government, unhesitatingly denounced Vladimir Putin’s “criminal aggression”.
Noam Chomsky is also still engaged by British politics. “Brexit was a very serious error, it means that Britain will be compelled to drift even further into subordination to the US,” he told me. “I think it’s a disaster. What does it mean for the Conservative Party? I imagine they can lie their way out of it, they’re doing a good job of lying about a lot of things and getting away with it.”

Should media organizations and journalists accept funding from Google and Meta?
>101 views | Apr 9, 2022
Over the past few years, Google and Meta have given hundreds of millions of dollars to journalistic organisations, and have said they plan to give away hundreds of millions more. Some believe this kind of funding creates a conflict of interest. Should media organizations and journalists accept funding from Google and Meta, and if they do, what are the risks that come with this financing?
