The countering of misinformation by community requires community is aware that misinformation needs to be countered in the first place. </p><p>A lot of the problem is that people are isolated. They're seeing targeted ads that reach specifically them. They're talking to bots in private. They're in a cult or other closed community not predisposed to admit is is ridden with lies.</p><p>Free speech ought be more than a right to drown someone in lies.</p><p>One simple idea I've pondered is that we should just make it illegal to do targeted advertising without registering the ad somewhere publicly viewable and saying what demographic it is targeted at, so that paid advertising is publicly inspectable and possible to mount a response to. That was an accidental property of early advertising that we've lost in the modern world. I don't know if it would work, but it has the right feel to me because it has the property that one could objectively tell whether a violation had occurred, not by characterizing the content but just checking the registry.</p><p>I also think it wouldn't hurt to have to declare which forums allow bots/AI, and possibly which entities are such non-human tech. We are social critters, easily influenced by wanting to go along with peers, more than by logic, but artificial entities are not peers and it's too easy to create the illusion that a lone human is surrounded by disapproving humans. </p><p>The following essay by me is not recent but is still quite relevant in how it breaks down free speech, analyzing why it's core to a democracy and what aspects of it really need protecting. (It probably needs to be updated for the post-truth world of bots and generative AI, but even without that, I think it gets the basic ideas right.)</p><p>The Freedom to Hear<br><a href="http://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2009/05/freedom-to-hear.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">netsettlement.blogspot.com/200</span><span class="invisible">9/05/freedom-to-hear.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Advertising</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TargetedAdvertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TargetedAdvertising</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Democracy</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/rights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rights</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Constitution</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>propaganda</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ContentModeration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ContentModeration</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moderation</span></a></p>

TracingVRL by A.J. Fish<p>While some antivaccine proponents are true believers, others are cynical and well-funded. One reason could be extreme antivaccine sentiment is a *wedge issue* for upcoming campaigns. Certain politicians, if behind in the polls, gain a short-term competitive edge by amplifying their stance on wedge issues. <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/24/anti-vaxxers-political-power-00116527" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">politico.com/news/2023/09/24/a</span><span class="invisible">nti-vaxxers-political-power-00116527</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/bigdata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bigdata</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/targetedAdvertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>targetedAdvertising</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/COVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>COVID</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>COVID19</span></a></p>

The research shows how closely data traffickers are tracking people in Europe. Over several weeks, we further analyzed hundreds of thousands of segments. We found tens of thousands of segments on the characteristics and behavior of EU citizens, and we have reduced them to particularly delicate cases. What remained were 1,900 segments that we consider to be extremely questionable.</p><p>They can all be assigned with a high degree of probability to one of 15 EU countries on the basis of their name, and they all relate to personal characteristics such as health, religion and political views. They deal, for example, with whether someone is easy to manipulate and has a lot or little money. The research makes it clear for the first time how thoroughly the advertising industry screens people on this continent.</p><p>Experts in the fields of data protection and civil rights describe the findings as „very explosive.“ Vienna-based researcher and activist Wolfie Christl writes: „It’s a scandal that this uncontrolled trade in digital profiles about personal characteristics and behaviors is still happening in Europe.“ He had discovered the Xandr document on the net and brought it to our attention."</p><p><a href="https://netzpolitik.org/2023/eu-country-comparison-how-data-brokers-are-screening-us/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">netzpolitik.org/2023/eu-countr</span><span class="invisible">y-comparison-how-data-brokers-are-screening-us/</span></a></p>
