Great deepdive by @abbieasr into the intersection of easy AI (that Elevenlabs voice) + conspiracy theory + gaming Tiktok synthetic media policy + monetization

New from me: TikTok is failing to contain violent beheading content on its platform. mediamatters.org/tiktok/tiktok-…
Another great one from @abbieasr for @mmfa (with the teeniest bit of research from me). As TikTok incentivizes conspiracy content, some creators leaning into sharing misleading videos are quickly racking up views in the *hundreds* of millions. Read this. Let Abbie tell you how.
Give this a read! All the way to the end, too. It’s *fascinating* and sparks a bunch of thoughts which I may or may not develop into posts. But certainly if you’re curious about the *economic* side of “hey, what drives CT content creators?”, you gotta read this.

New from @abbieasr: Users are exploiting TikTok’s Creativity Program by pumping out viral conspiracy theory content, using AI-generated images and voices for profit mediamatters.org/tiktok/tiktok-…
New from me: Content creators claim they’re making thousands of dollars through TikTok’s Creativity Program by pumping out AI-generated conspiracy theories. mediamatters.org/tiktok/tiktok-…
I wrote about “microcheating” “girl hobby” “loud budgeting” “75 cozy" "almond mom" "beige flag" and all the other made up terms that tiktokers are increasingly desperate to coin vox.com/culture/240624…

Making conspiracy content is astonishingly lucrative due to social media algorithms which incentivize ludicrous and irrational content. Russell Brand's YouTube career is a perfect example of selling out to insane people, as @abbieasr brilliantly lays out.
If you want to understand why Russell Brand went from a left-wing hero a decade ago to one of the biggest pusher of conspiracy theories today, you should watch this brilliant video from @abbieasr youtube.com/watch?v=eo4gIi…

Speaking as someone who has covered the radical right for 30 years, this is utter bollocks. Some of the most important exposes of violent neo-Nazis has come from reporters who went undercover. Thinking, e.g., of David Holthouse’s tremendous work going undercover for the SPLC.
James O'Keefe illustrated why going undercover is ethically dubious. There's no reason you should be deceiving people in your work unless you are revealing a truly earth-shattering injustice. The internet has incentivized unethical practices that people are calling journalism.

Welcome to Canada, @GiorgiaMeloni. 🇨🇦🇮🇹
Incredibly disturbing to see this kind of backsliding, and it's no coincidence that the African nations targeting LGBTQ people are the same ones that have been targeted by American Evangelicals, who are fueling and funding anti-gay and anti-abortion activism on the continent.

That said, congratulations to James on his non-plagiarised video!
I once again feel compelled to point out that "Jewish" and "Israeli" are not the same thing, and freely conflating the two is a classic antisemitic trope.
I really don't know if any sane person will want to be called Israeli or Jewish ever again. This may very well be the end of Jewish history as we know it. From now till forever, no one will hear or say the word 'Jewish' without seeing the images and videos from Gaza. We are…
this is literally the gayest possible thing you could do in this situation
