updates: The US Justice Department has disrupted a Russian bot farm spreading propaganda in the US. The bot farm used AI technology and was backed by the Kremlin. The operation involved the use of fake social media accounts enhanced by artificial intelligence to spread pro-Kremlin messages. The scheme targeted the US, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Ukraine, and Israel. The FBI, US Cyber Command, Dutch and Canadian security agencies were involved in exposing the bot farm. The Justice Department seized two domain names and searched nearly 1,000 social media accounts used by Russian operatives. RT, a Russian state-owned media outlet, has seen its influence decline as social media platforms have blocked access to its output. The Justice Department will not tolerate Russian government actors using AI to sow disinformation and fuel division among Americans, said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.

updates: In addition to the battle for online freedom in Uganda, tech platforms are also suffocating opposition media in Russia. Independent media outlets, including The Insider, face intense censorship within the country, and online platforms have shown little interest in helping journalists reach their audience. Since the start of the Ukraine war, tech platforms have made it difficult for Roman Dobrokhotov, founder of The Insider, to reach his audience. The site's Facebook traffic dropped to zero, and Google intermittently blocked the site from its News and Discover services. The Insider's website has also been blocked, and its YouTube videos targeted by trolls. The platform issues faced by Russian civil society groups have been highlighted in a recent survey. The pressure from repressive governments and the self-interest of tech platforms have made it challenging for dissident media to reach their audience. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has limited political content in its news feeds, making it difficult for critical content to make it through. The urgency of the war has put pressure on dissident media, caught between a hostile regime at home and indifferent online platforms. Meta has been explicit about its goal to downrank political content, which has hurt coverage of high-stakes issues like the war. Reaching an audience has become a challenge due to Big Tech censorship. Governments are becoming more effective at taking down content, and platforms are less interested in fighting to keep it up. During the Gallipoli Wars, there was censorship on news that would put the Ottoman Empire in a difficult situation. The intelligence bureau of the Ottoman General Staff censored newspapers and magazines that went against the empire. Journalists who did not comply were threatened to be sent to violent battlefields. The press played a crucial role during the war, with German propaganda being effective. Foreign newspapers and magazines were banned from entering the Ottoman Empire, and censorship boards were established in Istanbul to check publications. News that did not pass through the censorship board would not be published. The aim was to avoid news that would harm the country, especially regarding Romania, which had not yet entered the war. The Intelligence Bureau of the Ottoman General Staff organized these censorship efforts. The article highlights an incident where the owner of the newspaper Tasvir-i Efkar published photographs of Mustafa Kemal and Cevat Pasha, which had been avoided due to the owner being a member of parliament. The Director of Intelligence threatened to send the journalists who wrote the news item to the front and close the newspaper, but it could not be closed due to the owner's political position.

updates: Tech giants Google and Apple face criticism for removing Alexei Navalny's Smart Voting app during Russia's parliamentary elections. Navalny, a prominent Russian opposition figure, dedicated his life to exposing corruption in the Kremlin. The Smart Voting app was designed to consolidate opposition votes against the ruling party, United Russia. Russian regulators pressured Google and Apple to remove the app, raising concerns about state influence on global tech platforms. The global community has called for a more assertive stance against the Russian government's actions, including redirecting sanctions money to Ukraine. The controversy highlights the tension between authoritarian regimes and the forces of opposition, as well as the role of technology in empowerment and suppression.
