#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.

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.”

More than 40 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit a cafe near the port in Gaza City, according to the head of the territory’s largest hospital.
As Israeli strikes on the enclave continue the UN has described the situation in Gaza as "dire".

She argued that mainstream outlets have not only failed to report the ongoing atrocities with accuracy and integrity, but have actively enabled the war through omission, distortion, and dehumanisation.

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.

That's a shame.
Not sure if you've seen this, but there might be options to solve this (see tickets screenshot) please contact the organization about this, they might be able to do something about this.
It would be a pity if you aren't able to participate due to a funding issue.
understandable.
Just want to make sure that you're aware of this option & as a signal towards @why2025camp that in these times prices like this prevent people from attending & contributing.
I know the organizers try to keep expenses low. Sadly organizing anything in NL has become prohibitively expensive & requires jumping through lots of bureaucratic hoops. Cumulative inflation rose to 25% since 2020. Had my doubts on attending due to ticket prices & additional costs as well.
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.

Thanks for sharing.
Traditionally the concept of Dutch hacker camps was: everyone is a volunteer & everybody has to contribute to the camp incl buying a ticket. In that sense it was different from conferences. My first one in 1997 even had a communal kitchen, dinner was included & afair everyone helped out incl speakers. It was a community effort.
This spirit is still alive @why2025camp, but expectations, people, prices & the world has changed. Maybe the camps should adjust to this?
Afair there were hardly any sponsors, perhaps some local network or hosting companies & probably with in in-kind stuff like an uplink to the Internet.
Some editions ago this has changed. However afaik sponsoring & the type of sponsors was/is a controversial topic. I've heard that without sponsoring it would be neigh impossible to have an event like this & of this size in NL in 2025. My experiences with smaller events in NL skews towards this sad conclusion as well. 😔
that seems utterly bonkers to me.
Reminds me of an emerging talent competition for a music festival in Iceland. Pay a small fee, submit sample song and a load of info, panel of judges selects the winners who all play on the emerging talent stage at the festival. What's not to like. Luckily I read the small print which mentioned that winners have to pay all travel, accommodation and food/drink expenses.
