The Vermont senator had been expected to win the state, a close neighbor of his home base. BREAKING: Joe Biden wins the Democratic ...

The ‘implied-truth effect’: Why labelling things as ‘fake news’ simply doesn’t work how Big Tech wants

Uncategorized

The ‘implied-truth effect’: Why labelling things as ‘fake news’ simply doesn’t work how Big Tech wants Ever since the shock outcomes of the 2016 US presidential election and Brexit referendum, Big Tech has vowed to stamp out fake news once and for all. However, a new study indicates they may have missed the point entirely. Despite employing hordes of fact-checkers whose sole-purpose is to differentiate the 'truth' from the plague of Fake News™, the unintended consequences of this war on disinformation are that it doesn't necessarily increase critical thinking among the general population on social media, rather it sends people into the arms of the next great swindler who has yet to be found out by the heroic fact checkers.

A Brexit Day holiday? Tory MP presents parliament with ‘United Kingdom Day’ proposal & ignites remainers’ fury (VIDEO) An ardent Brexiteer lawmaker has put forward a parliamentary Bill that, if passed, would see ‘United Kingdom Day’ become a new bank holiday in honor of Brexit, provoking pro-EU remainers’ ire on social media. Pro-Brexit Tory backbencher Peter Bone introduced his eye-catching proposals in the House of Commons on Wednesday, asking “Why don’t we celebrate our United Kingdom?” before reeling off – somewhat ironically – a number of EU nations that celebrate their national day. Bone proposed that the new UK public holiday should fall on the nearest Friday to June 23 – the date of the 2016 EU referendum, adding that it could be a day to ...

EU Commission adopts law proposal for climate neutrality by 2050

Uncategorized

EU Commission adopts law proposal for climate neutrality by 2050 The EU Commission has adopted a proposal for a European “climate law” to make the bloc’s 2050 net zero emissions target legally binding. The regulation, which requires approval from parliament and member states, would commit the EU to reducing its net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. The draft law enshrines the EU plan to achieve “climate neutrality by 2050,” Elisa Ferreira, the commissioner in charge of supporting poorer regions of the bloc, tweeted on Wednesday. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and NGOs said more urgent action was needed. Thunberg, 17, said the law fails to address the next 10 years, Reuters reported. “‘Net zero emissions by 2050’ for the EU equals surrender. It means giving up,” she and ...
