Ruth Rafferty and Adam Rowland in conversation: 23rd April 2023 - Part 6

The day after the rally, Ruth and Adam very kindly allowed me to record them in conversation with each other about their experiences. I have broken up their conversation into smaller chunks for ease of viewing. In this part, there is more about Saint Bill, the Trusted News Initiative and thoughts about the future.

Not sure why the EU is still giving money to the BBC given we are supposed to have left that organisation, never mind Bill Gates...
Where our money comes from
"Significant donors included the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the European Union, several UN agencies, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and many others."

"The Trusted News Initiative is a partnership, founded by the BBC, that includes organisations from around the globe... Together, TNI members work together to build audience trust and to find solutions to tackle challenges of disinformation. By including media organisations and social media platforms, it is the only forum in the world of its kind designed to take on disinformation in real time"

"An Insider's Guide to "Anti-Disinformation"
Andrew Lowenthal spent more than two decades defending digital rights, and watched as peers and partner organizations switched to an opposite mission called "anti-disinformation." An inside account
"Stanford’s Virality Project recommended that Twitter classify “true stories of vaccine side effects” as “standard misinformation on your platform,” while the Algorithmic Transparency Institute spoke of “civic listening” and “automated collection of data” from “closed messaging apps” in order to combat “problematic content”, i.e. spying on everyday citizens.

"Doctors For Patients UK was set up in September 2022, by a group of doctors who wanted to create a platform and safe space for clinicians to discuss current issues in healthcare and medicine. Our group was borne out of a shared concern that core principles of medical ethics were – and still are – being disregarded, such as the oath to “First do no harm”, the respect for individual bodily autonomy and the need to obtain fully informed consent for all medical interventions."
