Spent the last two days at #Etmaal2025 presenting our work in progress on countering AI-generated visual disinformation (w/@marinatulin.bsky.social, Michael Hameleers & @claesdevreese.bsky.social ). Loved connecting with old and new friends and was very impressed by the high level of presentations!👏

Great presentation on fact-checking and trust by BENEDMO colleagues Ferre Wouters, @michaelopgenhaffen.bsky.social and @bzar.bsky.social. And no, Zuckerberg is not right. Love it when *researchers add context* 😎

Did anyone call the VVD in the Netherlands to check what happened when they legitimized Wilders in the last election?

Leading the VVD party to loose to Wilders and become a smaller coalition partner in a far right government.
In #Germany, a watershed moment: Just hours after commemorating the Holocaust, the centre-right has accepted the support of the #farright #AfD to pass a (largely symbolic) motion against immigration, tearing a massive hole into the so-called 'firewall', Germany's variety of the cordon sanitaire.

How to hold social media platforms accountable?

Currently: The Code of Practice on Disinformation.

But getting depth, tracking performance on structural indicators is not ...easy. @teresaelena.bsky.social, @marinatulin.bsky.social, Hameleers and 🙋suggest improvements.

Talked to Dutch media for the first time about deepfakes, AI-generated images and deception 🙃

Zien is niet geloven
Kunstmatige intelligentie is zo goed geworden in het maken van foto’s en video’s dat AI-beelden bijna niet meer te herkennen zijn. Betekent dit ook dat we al deze beelden voor waar aannemen?

New article: Why do citizens choose to read fact-checks about the Russian war in Ukraine? Our study shows that citizens in 19 countries (n = 19,037) are more inclined to seek truth rather than confirm existing beliefs. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I was recently interviewed by Logically Facts about the role of visuals in mis- and disinformation. Happy to have contributed to this article, which shows that the majority of misinformation surrounding Indian news events is visual. 👁️👇
