[1911.12039] The Limited Reach of Fake News on Twitter during 2019 European Elections

https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.12039 The Limited Reach of Fake News on Twitter during 2019 European Elections Matteo Cinelli, Stefano Cresci, Alessandro Galeazzi, Walter Quattrociocchi, Maurizio Tesconi (Submitted on 27 Nov 2019) The advent of social media changed the way we consume content favoring a disintermediated access and production. This scenario has been matter of critical discussion about its impact on society. Magnified in the case of Arab Spring or heavily criticized in the Brexit and 2016 U.S. elections. In this work we explore information consumption on Twitter during the last European electoral campaign by analyzing the interaction patterns of official news sources, fake news sources, politicians, people from the showbiz and many others. We extensively explore interactions among different classes of accounts in the months preceding the last European elections, held between 23rd and 26th of May, 2019. We collected almost 400,000 tweets posted by 863 accounts having different roles in the public society. Through a thorough quantitative analysis we investigate the information flow among them, also exploiting geolocalized information. Accounts show the tendency to confine their interaction within the same class and the debate rarely crosses national borders. Moreover, we do not find any evidence of an organized network of accounts aimed at spreading disinformation. Instead, disinformation outlets are largely ignored by the other actors and hence play a peripheral role in online political discussions.

"Prima di cliccare però vi consiglio di prendere adeguate precauzioni: quel sito notifica Google del vostro interesse politico per quello specifico contenuto (e quegli specifici partiti), con ovvie implicazioni sulla vostra influenza e sulla vostra autonomia futura." ?????????????????????????? E ti sembra giusto? Lo consiglio ai miei alunni??? Nessuno nel mondo mi impone di comunicare queste informazioni... ti inseriscono negli Advisory Board... etc... e guardano in primis i CV... e in Italia???? Tutto è "inciuciato" dalla politica e nessuno guarda SERIAMENTE ai CV??? E ciò genera sviluppo economico??? A cosa ha portato ciò??? SVILUPPO ECONOMICO O FUGHE DEI TALENTI??? *Per quanto mi riguarda dovrebbero smettere di litigare e cominciare a pensare SERIAMENTE al bene comune... * Lo diceva anche Beppe Grillo in una intervista su web... Ha il suo caratterino ma talvolta esprime saggezza??? Lotte inutili tra poltrone??? Crisi di geverni, impicci vari... etc??? Poi tanto ad uno si deve dare il voto... non è così??? Perdona le mie considerazioni e domande e ad maiora, agata Agata Lo Tauro <agatalotauro(a)gmail.com> 12:46 (2 ore fa) a Giacomo, Aldo, Vincenzo, don, Antonio, Nazzareno, Maurizio, Stefano Per quanto mi riguarda... non me ne frega un tubo dell'indirizzo politico dei mie alunni... se uno è bravo è bravo e lo valorizzo, come umanamente posso... poi i bravi aiutano anche quelli più fragili e così si implementa il VERO bene comune??? Che senso ha valorizzare i mediocri... dare ruoli di leadership ai mediocri facendo fuggire i talenti... ha senso??? Solo perchè si devono guardare gli "indirizzi politici"??? Le cooptazioni e i clientelismi??? Svilupoo economico??? Guardate come fanno al NORD EUROPA... etc... Paesi più evoluti... quelli guardano SERIAMENTE ai CV... altro che ...???? Scusate ancora ed have a great day!!!!

The future internet regulation - Aral Balkan at the European Parliament (video)
by Giacomo Tesio Nov. 28, 2019

Nov. 28, 2019

Under article 14 of the ecommerce directive, hosting service providers can benefit from a liability exemption. It goes on to say how European companies implemented this in practice and what worked. So who did we heard from first? Facebook. [...] Facebook is not an hosting service provider [...] This is such fundamental misunderstanding that if this is the presumption under which you are future of the Internet, I despair about the future of our human rights and about the future of our democracies. [...] ___ Continua su https://video.lqdn.fr/videos/watch/861c07f7-7e9b-4e64-9765-cf1de592c8a0 15 minuti ben spesi. ;-) Il video complessivo dell'incontro (che include anche un intervento della lobbista di Facebook) è reperibile qui: https://web-greensefa.streamovations.be/index.php/event/stream/the-future-i… Prima di cliccare però vi consiglio di prendere adeguate precauzioni: quel sito notifica Google del vostro interesse politico per quello specifico contenuto (e quegli specifici partiti), con ovvie implicazioni sulla vostra influenza e sulla vostra autonomia futura.

stime impatto complessivo *fisico* del 5G?
by M. Fioretti Nov. 28, 2019

Nov. 28, 2019

Salve a tutti, forse qualcuno qui conosce la risposta, o almeno un modo di cercarla. Ammesso che esista. La domanda, appena venuta fuori in una discussione su twitter (*) è: do we have reliable estimates of how much raw matter+ energy is needed in TOTAL, from phones to data centers, from mining the materials to using the finished products, to serve e.g. 1M people who are using #5G AS ADVERTISED (always on, and using mostly services that are only possible with 5G, that is very high bandwidth, ultralow latency etc). Grazie, Marco (*) la versione originale, ovviamente < 280 caratteri, e la relativa discussione le trovate qui https://twitter.com/mfioretti_en/status/1199961050285838336 -- M. Fioretti http://mfioretti.com http://stop.zona-m.net Your own civil rights and the quality of your life heavily depend on how software is used *around* you

NYT: "Google Fires 4 Workers Active in Labor Organizing"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Nov. 28, 2019

*Google Fires 4 Workers Active in Labor Organizing** * /A company memo said they had been dismissed “for clear and repeated violations of our data security policies.” By Kate Conger and Daisuke Wakabayashi Nov. 25, 2019 S/AN FRANCISCO — Google on Monday fired four employees who had been active in labor organizing at the company, according to a memo that was seen by The New York Times. The memo, sent by Google’s security and investigations team, told employees that the company had dismissed four employees “for clear and repeated violations of our data security policies.” Jenn Kaiser, a Google spokeswoman, confirmed the firings but declined to elaborate. The dismissals are expected to exacerbate rocky relations between Google’s management and a vocal contingent of workers who have protested the company’s handling of sexual harassment, its treatment of contract employees, and its work with the Defense Department, federal border agencies and the Chinese government. Tensions have increased as Google has cracked down on what had long been a freewheeling work culture that encouraged employees to speak out. Google recently canceled a regular series of companywide meetings that allowed workers to pose questions to senior executives and began working with a consulting firm that has helped companies quell unionization efforts./ /[…] Continua qui: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/25/technology/google-fires-workers.html / /
