When institutions warn about deepfakes while quietly routing 132 million euros-like Il Fatto Quotidiano dug up-to outlets that echo the party line, the moral posture wobbles. Questioning isn't sabotage; it's hygiene. Democracy doesn't need a budget to breathe-only ears. So if 'open society' really means 'open mouth for our script,' readers... that's not defense. That's ventriloquism.
Super informative, fraud on so many levels, really insidious
Thank you!!
Many thanks to you as well for the collaboration!!
