#Ai / Google discontinues fact-checking snippets in their search product

Fact-checking snippets were designed to protect users from misinformation and expose them to reliable sources first. Discontinuing this feature in favor of #AI-generated summaries risks amplifying inaccuracies or hallucinations.

The founder and CEO of Maldita.es and chair of the European Fact-Checking Standards Network, expressed concern over #Google’s decision to end its 10-year collaboration with fact-checkers without prior notice or consultation. Google claims its data indicates the fact-checking snippet is “not commonly used in Search” and no longer offers “significant additional value for users,” yet it has not shared this data. In contrast, the Reuters Institute Digital News Report, which surveyed 92,000 online news consumers across 46 markets, found that 25% globally seek fact-checks in search results, with 38% in the U.S. and 44% in Norway expecting such information. In Europe, the average is 23%, while in the Balkans, 31% of Serbians look for fact-checks. Additionally, 38% of Brazilians, 32% of Kenyans and South Africans, and 37% of Filipinos in the Global South also expect fact-checks when verifying information.

niemanlab.org/2025/06/google-k…

Google is clearly not going to stop aggressively promoting their AI to their customers. This decision simply happens to be compatible with the current political climate in the United States and is extremely convenient when both the United States and Israel are engaged in activities that they deny are genocide. At least when it comes to results related to what’s happening in Gaza, the regurgitated bullshit from regime-friendly pro-Israel media outlets like the #NYT and #WAPO are incredibly helpful. I doubt Google’s large language models are trained on data from Al Jazeera, The Intercept, or Electronic Intifada.

Regardless, the best solution is undoubtedly not to use Google for search. DuckDuckGo and many other alternatives come to mind, as do self-hosted meta search engines like SearNGX (which offers significantly more useful tools than either).

DOJ Charges 324 in Largest #Healthcare #Fraud Takedown in U.S. #History — $14.6 BILLION Scheme Involved 96 #Doctors, #Nurses, and Pharmacists Targeting #Medicare and Medicaid

The Department of Justice on Monday unveiled a record-shattering crackdown on the #corrupt underbelly of #America’s #health care #system. A jaw-dropping 324 defendants — including 96 medical professionals — have been charged in 50 federal districts and 12 states for orchestrating over $14.6 billion in intended fraud, largely targeting Medicare, Medicaid, and federal health programs meant to serve the #elderly, #disabled, and the #poor.

The takedown, spearheaded by the DOJ’s Health Care Fraud Unit in coordination with HHS-OIG, the FBI, the DEA, and over a dozen state attorney general offices, marks the largest health care fraud bust in U.S. history.

“Today, as we announced the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in the history of the Department of Justice, it marks a decisive moment in our fight to protect American taxpayers from fraudsters and to defend the integrity of America’s health care system,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, DOJ’s Head of the Criminal Division.

“We are announcing today charges against 324 defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately $14.6 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs.”

“These criminals didn’t just steal someone else’s money — they stole from you. Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice. And when criminals defraud these programs, they’re not just committing theft — they’re driving up our national deficit and threatening the long-term viability of health care for seniors, disabled Americans, and our most vulnerable citizens.”

Had my talk on Small Web accepted at #why2025 but I hadn’t realised (my bad) that not only do you have to cover your own travel and accommodation but you also have to buy a ticket to speak. I’m sorry, as part of a tiny two-person not-for-profit working for the common good, I can’t afford to pay to speak at events. I’m not Deloitte. So I sadly had to withdraw my talk.

When we organised the Indie Tech Summit¹ – an international conference with zero sponsors that we funded entirely through ticket sales – we made sure our priority was that we could break even while at the very least paying speakers travel and accommodation. We treated them like royalty, even picking them up from the airport. It’s really about priorities. No one ever says they’re not going to pay the venue or the catering staff, or, worse, that they’re going to ask the catering staff and the venue to pay them. But for some reason with speakers – especially those who do not work in Big Tech or the mainstream – it’s apparently fine. I don’t enjoy living under capitalism but if we’re going to move to a post-capitalist future, it’s not going to happen by making those of us working on the alternatives that respect and protect human rights and democracy poorer for the privilege of attempting to inform people about their existence.

Mastering Corporate Governance for Singapore Companies


 Effective corporate governance is about making informed decisions, clearly defining responsibilities, and addressing risks before they become serious problems.

Running a business in Singapore involves more than just meeting filing deadlines. Effective corporate governance is about making informed decisions, clearly defining responsibilities, and addressing risks before they become serious problems.

For companies, especially private limited ones, strong governance reduces legal risks, builds investor trust, and ensures operational efficiency. Here's a practical guide to getting it right.

Understand Your Legal Obligations


Every company registered in Singapore must comply with the Companies Act, which outlines directors' duties: act in the company's best interest, avoid conflicts, and maintain accurate records. Non-compliance can lead to fines or directorship disqualification.

Corporate secretarial services are vital for meeting these requirements. They handle tasks like filing annual returns, drafting resolutions, and ensuring records are accurate and accessible. This isn't just about compliance—it's about protecting your business.

The Crucial Role of a Company Secretary


Singapore law requires every company to appoint a company secretary. This role goes beyond administrative tasks, involving expertise in meeting protocols, ACRA submissions, and compliance with the company's constitution.

Many businesses opt for outsourced corporate secretarial services. This approach is often more cost-effective and ensures a qualified professional keeps things in order, particularly for smaller teams.

Make Board Meetings Effective


Board meetings are more than a legal obligation—they're where strategy is set and risks are identified early. Skipping or rushing them can lead to undocumented decisions and unclear accountability.

Even small boards with a few directors benefit from regular, documented meetings. This ensures alignment and supports the company's growth.

Balance Power and Oversight


In smaller companies, one person might serve as director, shareholder, and manager. While legal, this can lead to unchecked decisions or oversights.

Where possible, separate these roles or ensure key decisions are reviewed by another party. A second perspective on contracts or finances can prevent errors and maintain balance.

Communicate With Shareholders


Shareholder disputes often arise from miscommunication or missing records. These are avoidable. Keep your share register updated, document ownership clearly, and notify shareholders about meetings or major decisions.

These steps are mandated by Singapore law and often managed by a company secretary. However, it's your responsibility to ensure they're done correctly.

Prioritize Accurate Recordkeeping


A common mistake is assuming records are being maintained when they're not. Missing documents can complicate fundraising or business sales.

Ensure your company has:
- An up-to-date constitution
- Accurate registers
- Resolutions for key decisions
- Proper financial statements

Many corporate secretarial services in Singapore offer digital storage solutions—use them and review records periodically.

Anticipate Potential Risks


Good governance means thinking about what could go wrong. Consider:
- Are you monitoring cash flow?
- Is customer data secure?
- What's the plan if a key employee leaves?

You don't need a formal risk committee to address these. Regular discussions about potential risks can keep your business prepared.

Stay Informed on Regulatory Changes


Singapore's regulations are clear but evolve over time. Deadlines shift, new reporting standards emerge, and incentives change.

A reliable secretarial services Singapore provider will notify you of relevant updates. If managing compliance in-house, ensure someone tracks changes from ACRA, IRAS, or MOM. Ignorance isn't a valid excuse.

Final Thoughts


Corporate governance doesn't need to be complex—it just requires consistency. Clear roles, accurate records, and proactive risk management strengthen your business, whether you're scaling or staying compliant.

A capable company secretary, whether in-house or through corporate secretarial services, is more than a legal necessity. They're a key partner in ensuring compliance and clarity.

Being in business in Singapore is associated with numerous roles, including legal and regulatory requirements of which companies must comply to remain legal.

A passage below a rainbow stripe that reads “I don’t wear a rainbow to tell you who’s in my bed. I wear it so the family across the street knows they’re safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren’t alone. So the boy who catches my eye while he’s looking at dresses knows I won’t judge. I wear it in solidarity so they’ll be less likely to hide who they are.” It is cited as “seen on a sticker in a public space.”
