L'UE devient de plus en plus autoritaire, épisode 35254.
Une sanction prise dans la droite ligne des sanctions décidées hors du cadre légal habituel contre les médias d'État russes RT et Sputnik lors de l'invasion de l'Ukraine en 2022. Plutôt qu'une décision de fermeture, le Conseil de l'Union européenne, qui réunit les gouvernements des États-membres, a décidé le 20 mai dernier, à travers sa dernière fournée de sanctions contre les soutiens de la Russie, d'y intégrer le fondateur et gestionnaire de Red. Media, Hüseyin Dogru, dont la société-mère AFA Medya opère en Turquie.
Pour quels motifs ? D'abord parce que sa société "a des liens financiers et organisationnels étroits avec des entités et acteurs de la propagande d'État russe et qui partage des liens structurels profonds, y compris des interactions entre des membres du personnel ainsi qu'une rotation de ceux-ci, avec des organisations de médias d'État russes". Des éléments déjà rendus publics par deux enquêtes de médias allemands, le Tagesspiegel et Taz, avaient notamment pointé que Hüseyin Dogru était chargé de liquider les actifs du média d'État russe destiné à un public jeune, de gauche et germanophone Redfish... et que Red. Media avait ensuite réutilisé en les renommant les comptes de Redfish sur les réseaux sociaux. Elles mettaient aussi en lumière l'emploi par Red. Media de journalistes exerçant auparavant pour d'autres médias d'État russes, y compris Hüseyin Dogru.
Mais ces sanctions ont aussi été prises parce que Red. Media aurait propagé "systématiquement de fausses informations sur des sujets politiquement controversés dans le but de créer des dissensions ethniques, politiques et religieuses au sein de son public cible, principalement allemand, y compris en diffusant des récits de groupes terroristes islamistes radicaux tels que le Hamas". Un seul exemple est donné : "Au cours de l'occupation violente d'une université allemande par des émeutiers anti-israéliens, le personnel de Red s'est coordonné avec ces occupants pour diffuser des images de leurs actes de vandalisme - qui comprenaient l'utilisation de symboles du Hamas - par les canaux en ligne de Red, leur fournissant ainsi une tribune médiatique exclusive." Cet argument est le seul mis en avant par Red. Media pour expliquer sa fermeture. Il se rapporte notamment à l'occupation d'une université berlinoise ayant engendré l'enquête du Tagesspiegel. Et à la diffusion d'une vidéo virale d'un enfant poursuivi par la police allemande lors d'une manifestation pro-palestinienne – pour l'arrêter selon Red. Media, pour le ramener à ses parents d'après la police allemande. C'est aussi celui qui interroge le plus, notamment au regard du fait que les médias allemands sont encore bien plus pro-israéliens que leurs homologues français.
Comment expliquer le silence total des médias allemands et des syndicats allemands de journalistes ? Peut-être parce qu'en sus de leur refus éditorial de porter le regard sur Gaza, ils gardent en tête la croisade de Red. Media contre le journaliste de la Taz Nicholas Potter. Il a en effet été attaqué notamment parce qu'en sus de son enquête pour le quotidien berlinois, il a aussi publié un article attaquant Red. Media ainsi que les médias de gauche MintPress News et The Grayzone dans le Jerusalem Post. Le titre, "Au sein des médias d'extrême gauche qui, soutenus par Moscou, Damas, et Téhéran, attaquent Israël" ne faisait pas dans la demi-mesure malgré des preuves moins éclatantes dans le corps du texte – MintPress News, par exemple, a fermement démenti tout lien financier avec les pays concernés, pour lequel Nicholas Potter n'apportait d'ailleurs pas de preuve.
Dans son article d'annonce de sa fermeture, Red. Media met de nouveau en cause Nicholas Potter, ainsi que la Taz, le Tagesspiegel, les syndicats de journalistes allemands... et Reporters sans frontières (RSF), qui avait évoqué le harcèlement en ligne subi par Potter dans son rapport annuel allemand – RSF n'a pas répondu aux sollicitations d'ASI. "Red.Media aurait pu défendre sa position sans lancer des attaques personnelles contre Potter", fait remarquer à ASI le secrétaire général de la Fédération européenne des journalistes (FEJ) Ricardo Gutiérrez.
"Red. Media va fermer, voici pourquoi" "Red. Media va fermer, voici pourquoi"
Red. Media, 16 mai 2025
"Ceci étant dit, comme dans le cadre du dossier RT/Sputnik, la FEJ continue à regretter que les gouvernements européens, par l'intermédiaire de décisions du Conseil européen, s'octroient le pouvoir de censurer des médias, sans analyse sérieuse des reproches adressés à ces médias par un organe de régulation indépendant", poursuit néanmoins Ricardo Gutiérrez. Les sanctions décidées contre Hüseyin Dogru, avec des "accusations graves [...] ni démontrées ni étayées par des faits et des preuves", ont "pour conséquence directe la fermeture d'un média allemand, qui jouait un rôle d'intérêt public essentiel par sa couverture soutenue des manifestations pro-palestiniennes en Allemagne." Et le secrétaire général de la FEJ de conclure : "La FEJ condamne à nouveau cette décision intergouvernementale qui a toutes les apparences d'une décision arbitraire. Les médias qui ne respectent pas la déontologie et qui s'inscrivent dans une logique propagandiste ou déstabilisatrice peuvent certes faire l'objet de retraits de licence ou de sanctions, mais en Europe, sur base des standards légaux existants, c'est à des organes de régulation indépendants de prendre de telles mesures. Pas à des gouvernements."
Good to see that at least one journalist doesn't fall to the hype.
If the CEO of a soda company declared that soda-making technology is getting so good it’s going to ruin the global economy, you’d be forgiven for thinking that person is either lying or fully detached from reality.
Yet when tech CEOs do the same thing, people tend to perk up.

Eternal Father, you inspired the Virgin Mary, mother of your Son, to visit Elizabeth and assist her in her need. Keep us open to the working of your Spirit, and with Mary may we praise you for ever. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

EU is getting more authoritarian by the day. Kill the beast !
In January 2025, The Economist delivered a devastating verdict: Romania had become the European Union's first "hybrid regime", downgraded from its previous "flawed democracy" status in the British newspaper’s yearly Democracy Index. The trigger was Romania's Constitutional Court annulling the first round of presidential elections based on what The Economist described as "murky intelligence reports" with evidence that was "at best, questionable".
Who better foreshadows Romania’s plummet in the democracy index than General Rog, head of the cyber division of the Romanian intelligence services, boasting of his executive overreach over a year ago?
As one German commentator observed: “The planned ban on Russian gas imports has little to do with the war in Ukraine — and everything to do with the American trade war. The EU is capitulating to Trump. The cost of that capitulation will be devastating, especially for Germany”.
This is not about “stopping Putin’s war machine” but about pre-empting any normalisation of EU-Russia relations — at the cost of deepening dependence on the US and accelerating deindustrialisation
AI isn’t an existential threat to humanity, capitalism and corporations are.
You see, we created capitalism, a religion modeled on cancer, and the corporation, a new, artificial species; a parasite that co-opts human beings to do its bidding; an organism that’s psychopathic by design and grows by extracting from and exploiting us and our habitat.
And we now find ourselves ruled by this religion and driven to ruin by these parasites as they drain our humanity, destroy our habitat, and condemn our future.
Your enemy is capitalism.
Your enemy is the corporation.
This is an existential battle against a cancerous ideology and an invasive species for the survival of our own.
you know the 40% rule, right? Profit + growth "must" add to 40% So if you're growing at 60%, it's ok to have a 20% negative profit. That is one of the reasons we are where we are.
As with many other tools with tremendous potential for humanity and good governance, AI is and will be misused by the capital for dystopian domination and extraction.
there's also this "funny" framing that corporations themselves *are* functionally agi paperclip-maximizers, only they run on human workers instead of sillicon.
"funny" because the various ai doomer talking points, are already shown to be true for corpos:
-(microtargeted) mass manipulation -(occasional) warmongering -government/regulatory capture -the "alignment" issue (mostly on climate) -convert all available matter into rent-seeking -gaslighting opponents (a'la the basilisk wager)
I fundamentally disagree with this characterization of capitalism. Capitalism is not an entity. It has no meaningful intentional stance. It is a model of interaction only. It is not the enemy.
The enemy is those who wish to apply this model upon us no matter what the costs to us. This enemy consists of people. And these people have names and addresses.
Generative AI intrinsically alters the political landscape in ways that put fascists at an advantage. The way people are using it to cognitive offload pretty much any given workload is crippling their own ability to engage in critical thought. Assuming access to a sufficiently advanced model, malicious actors in positions of power can use it to fabricate evidence of crimes and weaponise the state's violence against opponents. It's eroding people's trust in the authenticity of literally all online communication that's not coming directly from an already trusted source. Surely you understand how a tool that's pretty much purpose-built to flood the zone with shit is inherently beneficial to a political project that's been relying on exactly that tactic for its entire existence, right? It's not a coincidence that this technology's most vocal proponents in the political sphere are all basically Hitler.
@Walk_blesseD I’m not saying “AI” as branded and developed by Silicon Valley/Big Tech isn’t *a* problem. I’m saying the socioeconomic system that leads to it being developed in the manner in which it is developed is the problem.
Machine learning doesn’t have to be planet-scale. In fact, it’s more effective when it’s not.
At its core, there isn’t anything that evil about iterative matrix multiplications used for pattern matching in data sets.
But yes, of course, AI as it exists today is a problem. But it’s a symptom of the core malady which is capitalism/corporatism.
All that said, I really don’t think we’re stating different things 😀

Beschreibungen darüber was die israelische Armee in #Gaza eigentlich macht, abgesehen von dem Bombardieren von Zivilisten - vor allem einfach alles zu zerstören was an Häusern noch übrig ist, damit ja nie jemand mehr zurückkommen kann. Viel davon mit Bulldozern, zum beträchtlichen Teil gesteuert durch Zivilisten, Extremisten aus Siedlerbewegung
Auch wenn Netanyahu das nicht als konkretes Ziel ausgibt, oder öffentlich kommuniziert so ist es doch das was geschieht am Boden, genauso wie schon der Generäleplan in Nordgaza ausgeführt wurde, obwohl man sich öffentlich nicht dazu bekannt hat. Die Armee besteht zu einem großen Teil aus rechtsextremen Extremisten, so dass das fast schon eine Art Automatismus gibt, der auf dauerhafte Vertreibung hinauslaufen muss.
Es ist also auch eine komplette Fehleinschätzung so zu tun, als wäre nur Netanyahu das Problem.
Wenn wir irgendwelche Äußerungen Netanyahus in den deutschen Medien hören, dann sind das - so übel sie auch klingen mögen - das was ihm diplomatisch vertretbar erscheint, bei dem schon der Druck der US-Regierung und anderer Regierungen mit eingepreist ist. Echtes Handeln in Gaza, der Westbank wird bestimmt und umgesetzt von Extremisten die noch viel weiter rechts sind als Netanyahus Äußerungen.
Deren Ziele sind auch nichts was irgendwie in einer Form unklar wäre: Komplette Vertreibung aller Palästinenser, oder eine Existenz ohne jede Menschenrechte, ohne jede Selbstbestimmung, ohne jede Bewegungsfreiheit.
Und diese Variante ist noch die freundlichere Variante der Extremisten in Israel. Wenn man der kürzlich in Haaretz veröffentlichten Umfrage glauben mag, dann ist ein beträchtlicher Teil der israelischen Gesellschaft noch deutlich extremer eingestellt. (Siehe:norden.social/@stephie_hamburg…)

A pretty sure sign of a dying civilisation if you ask me.
Earlier this week, it was discovered that the Chicago Sun-Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer had both published an externally-produced "special supplement" that contained facts, experts, and book titles entirely made up by an AI chatbot [...]
The writer didn't care. The supplement's editors didn't care. The biz people on both sides of the sale of the supplement didn't care. The production people didn't care. And, the fact that it took two days for anyone to discover this epic fuckup in print means that, ultimately, the reader didn't care either.
It's so emblematic of the moment we're in, the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore.

I sighed and went around the room getting a quick read on how much screen time each student had accumulated. The class average neared 11 hours. I said, “Guys. Guys. Let’s suppose you sleep 8 hours a day. That means you're awake for 16 hours a day. If you’re on your phone for 12 hours, that means you only spend 4 hours not looking at a two by four inch screen…Is that really how you want to spend your life?” Most of the kids just shrugged. Then one kid said, “What else is there to do?” That’s how I know we’re in deep trouble.
NHSGGC News Update NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Vaccinations are the best way to protect yourself and your family. And to help prevent the spread of measles Measles cases in Glasgow prompt more vaccination clinics NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is urging families to ensure they are fully protected against measles following several recent cases in the Govanhill area. In response, additional drop-in vaccination clinics are being made available to help prevent further spread. Measles is a highly infectious disease that can spread rapidly among individuals who have not received two doses of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. It can lead to serious illness and long-term complications such as hearing and vision loss, brain swelling, and often requires hospitalisation. a high temperature runny or blocked nose red, sore, watery eyes sneezing coughing
@Christo_459 Alt text, second image: Recognising the symptoms Measles typically begins with cold-like symptoms, including: • High temperature • Runny or blocked nose • Sneezing • Cough • Red, sore, watery eyes Small white spots may appear inside the cheeks and on the back of the lips a few days later, followed by a rash that usually starts on the face or behind the ears before spreading to the rest of the body. The rash may appear brown or red on lighter skin and can be harder to detect on darker skin tones. Symptoms usually appear 10-12 days after exposure. Helen Benson, NHSGGC Consultant in Public Health, said: "While Scotland and Greater Glasgow and Clyde have strong MMR uptake through the childhood vaccination programme, we cannot be complacent. Govanhill is one of the areas where uptake is lower, and although case numbers are low, there is a risk of community spread, especially with increased overseas travel during the holiday season. "Measles is preventable with two doses of the MMR vaccine. We are offering weekly drop-in clinics for both adults and children and would encourage anyone who has missed one or both doses, to come along. The vaccine is free, completely safe, and this is great opportunity to catch up with any doses you may have missed to protect yourself and your family. Interpreters are available, and we welcome anyone who needs extra support. "If you're unsure at all, you're welcome to pop-in for a chat with our immunisation team who will happily answer any questions that you may have too." If you are unsure of your MMR vaccination status, or would like to find out about how to catch up with any missed MMR doses in your area, please visit the NHS Inform page on MMR vaccination for further information.

Ivana Maletić et Jorg Kristijan Petrovič n’en démordent pas : à peu près rien ne va dans le “plan de relance” européen géant de 723 milliards d’euros décidé par les chefs d’Etat européens en 2020. Publié le 6 mai dernier, son 17ème document (rapport, note, évaluation divers) de la Cour des comptes européenne sur la “Facilité pour la relance et la résilience” (FRR) est sévère, comme les précédents. Manque de “surveillance des réformes annoncées”, “responsabilité des décideurs publics” vis à vis des contribuables et “transparence” insuffisantes, telles sont les “lacunes” pointées par les deux auditeurs lors d’une récente conférence de presse.
Cinq ans après l'annonce du grand emprunt européen décidé en pleine pandémie, les auditeurs des comptes dressent un bilan sévère de l'utilisation de ces 650 milliards d'euros.

Bei Carolin Kebekus war Anna-Lena Baerbock zu Gast & wurde zur "feministischen Außenpolitik" befragt, auf die Baerbock sichtlich stolz ist.(Ab min 16)
Aber irgendwie war die "feministische Außenpolitik" nirgendwo zu finden wenn es um Gaza ging, als sie dafür plädierte dass zivile Gebäuden den Schutzstatus verlieren - eine Einladung dazu Frauen und Kinder zu töten & Lebensgrundlagen zu vernichten ardmediathek.de/video/Y3JpZDov…
Als Ministerin musste Annalena Baerbock viele Entscheidungen treffen, doch auf diese Prüfung war sie sicher nicht vorbereitet. Carolin Kebekus stellt sie vor die Qual der Wahl.
Ich weiss nicht wie man darauf kommen kann von feministischer Außenpolitik zu sprechen, wenn es ihr während der eigenen Amtszeit so völlig egal war wenn es wirklich darauf ankommt und sie stattdessen aufmunternd auf die Schultern geklopft hat wenns darum ging gerade die Leben der vulnerabelsten Menschen zu gefährden, verletzten und zu töten.
