New school year, new challenges!
We know that sometimes dealing with topics such as disinformation might not be very easy… but dear #teachers, we have got you covered!
Explore our guidelines filled with tips and interactive exercises to teach your students more about how to:
✏️ know more about their digital footprints,
📏 engage with fact-checking, and
📘 tackle disinformation.
Good luck to all the #students and teachers for this new chapter of your #school path!
I am sure the students will reject any form of deplorable information when confronted with such decisiveness!
Get those little brains ready to be inspected by a caring and attentive EU Thought Police!
@useless_idiot @EU_Commission I was wondering when the useful idiots of disinformation will pop-up. Wasn't disappointed, he was the first to comment. Typical homophobic & vaccine + climate change denier... Wish the EU would implement a digital form of ID to flag these kind of accounts, majority spreading russian agenda.
@daniels@mastodon.world @useless_idiot@noagendasocial.com @EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu How would "a digital form of ID to flag these kind of accounts" solve anything? It seems your problem is "these here people don't agree with me and I want them to stop doing that", I don't think de-anonymization is going to fix that. If anything, it'll hurt democracy as a whole as it will stifle public discourse altogether.

@tyil you just don't know how democracy works!!1 @EU_Commission @useless_idiot @daniels
@bonifartius @tyil @EU_Commission @daniels
Exactly! Real democracy is thinking, saying, and doing exactly whatever the richest and most powerful people want, getting locked out from society, or getting locked up!
@useless_idiot
that's self evident!
now mask up and kneel!

In all fairness: I don't hate the EU, I just think they should be held accountable, do a better job, don't get involved in propaganda one way or the other, and stop all kinds of other nonsense. Maybe go back to the EEC and rebuild into a better direction.
But those institutes seem to be unable to do one job right, and have to sprawl out into all useless directions, so we end up with this shit and no proper international trains.
@useless_idiot@noagendasocial.com @bonifartius@qoto.org @EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu @daniels@mastodon.world I like the EU as a concept, it can be a very strong force to do many good things. And some good things have been achieved, the schengen area, the ability to use my phone when I cross a border, standardized charging over USB-C. But then they have retardedly dumb ideas as well which they should be held accountable for. If you don't hold them accountable for their bad ideas, they'll never change them to good ideas (or drop them altogether if it turned out to be really dumb).
It truly is the basis of democracy to be able to speak up freely and criticize any actions the politicians take, and when needed, force them to change course.
I'd like the EU to continue existing, but I do acknowledge things need to change for it to continue being a net positive for us citizens.
@tyil @bonifartius @EU_Commission @daniels
Yeah, although I am always suspicious of strong forces in any form. It can attract horrible people.
What put me off big-time was the reaction to Brexit. Instead of: "Ok, let's go our own ways for a while and we'll try to find out why you didn't want to be part of us, maybe fix that."
It became:
"You are all horrible racist and we hate you forever!"
And this crap, EUvsDisinfo, CBDC (that's everywhere though), DSA, arrogance, bloat, make it worse.

It can attract horrible people
It not only can, but given enough time it is guaranteed it will. This is indeed a problem that exists in any form of government, as it is by definition a seat of power. The best we can do is learn from past mistakes and craft rules and regulation that helps to stop it from happening again, and be vigilant when it is happening.I am afraid we (as a society, not you or me specifically) have not learned from past events and have let corruption enter the higher ranks of society. Society isn't doomed yet, but the corruption needs to be eradicated sooner rather than later.
I find the brexit situation being a good example of openly hostile and bad leadership of our governments. I don't particularly care whether the UK is part of the EU on itself, but the entire show that was put around it is not beneficial for anyone, and only fuels hatred between the two sides.
And this crap
I agree once more. I think there are better aspects this time and effort could be devoted to. Supporting proper open communications, protections for privacy and security, the housing crisis, the inflation crisis, the migration crisis... We have a lot of crises now that I think about it.
