since it's kicking up again, a reminder: if you are upset w/the trademark policy the *project* has the ability to improve it- blaming the foundation is not as effective as holding your project representatives accountable

did you know that nothing can pass the rust foundation board without a majority of the project directors agreeing to it? it's something i fought very hard for. this means the project can block decisions. you can read about that in the bylaws: https://foundation.rust-lang.org/policies/bylaws/#section-4.10-quorum%2C-action-at-meeting%2C-adjournments

Old enough to remember when DaVinci’s Last Supper was a super sacred work of art that no one (gay) was allowed to parody because it was super sacred to Catholics everywhere.

Back in AZ’s midterm election, firsthand videos of ballot tabulator problems at Maricopa County polls went viral on Twitter.

Our team at UC Network for Human Rights & Digital Fact-Finding has spent the months since researching how these videos were vehicles for disinformation.

Really grateful to the phenomenal faculty @Jess_Peake_ & @profe_falcon for their guidance and editing and to the @PromiseInstUCLA & @huertaUCSC for empowering students to take on ambitious human rights + OSINT research like this!

Other midterm research reports by UC Network student researchers include the most comprehensive list to date of election deniers that won their races in the 2022 election and a toolkit on digital verification and geolocation of online content. Read them at https://promiseinstitute.law.ucla.edu

Notably, *all* content moderation we found — inconsistent and basically nonexistent in the first place — has been removed by Twitter by publication of this report.

@vv1lder ("emily wilder") replied to a tweet by @vv1lder:

Even though Trump was still banned from the platform during the midterm, his video first posted to Truth Social directing supporters to “stay on line” migrated to Twitter and had a considerable impact on the sentiments people were sharing there about the AZ election.

@vv1lder ("emily wilder") replied to a tweet by @vv1lder:

Users captioned the videos with speculation about another so-called stolen election — claiming, for example, that ballots put in the backup “Box 3” would be destroyed in a plot by Democrats (reminiscent of the Sharpiegate controversy of the previous election).

@vv1lder ("emily wilder") replied to a tweet by @vv1lder:

We geolocated and tracked 23 “gotcha-style” POV videos from Maricopa County polls and found that hundreds of unique shares allowed misleading narratives to proliferate and persist far longer than it took officials to fix the tabulator issues.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

no "we hear there's a lot of feedback, we're working on revisions, please be patient" even. just nothing.

With @jess_peake_+@profe_falcon @huertaUCSC, student researchers investigated examples of voter suppression, intimidation + disinfo. What they found was unsettling.
