Together with a few other tech and media corporations, Microsoft has formed a coalition focused on fighting “disinformation” and fake news. The other founding members of the coalition are Truepic, Intel, BBC, Adobe, and Arm.
Disinformation and fake news have become prevalent buzzwords to create a justification to censor in this digital age. It’s now very easy for people to formulate and spread falsehoods, according to the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity.
“There’s a critical need to address widespread deception in online content — now supercharged by advances in AI and graphics and diffused rapidly via the internet. Our imperative as researchers and technologists is to create and refine technical and sociotechnical approaches to this grand challenge of our time. We’re excited about methods for certifying the origin and provenance of online content. It’s an honor to work alongside Adobe, BBC and other C2PA members to take this critical work to the next step,” Microsoft wrote in a blog post announcing the coalition.
According to Microsoft, the C2PA will “develop content provenance specifications for common asset types and formats to enable publishers, creators and consumers to trace the origin and evolution of a piece of media, including images, videos, audio and documents.”
Former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates has been a big supporter of modern moves to censor more on social media.

So this applies to the lies the environmentalist whackos put online. I know they’ll ban BLM and Antifah.
Indian-dominated companies. Indians don’t believe in free speech like you or I do.
They grew up with socialist governments and speech codes.
And we imported them here by the planeload
Bump To The Top!
"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of 'doublethink'."

Let’s start with disinformation from Microsoft. They push “Microsoft Teams” as a viable collaboration tool but that’s disinformation because it’s not. It’s worse than software from decades ago.
Dump Microsoft. Switch to Linux.
Stop supporting Fascists like Bill Gates, Microsoft, Amazon, Twatter, Fascistbook, BlewTube, etc..
Microsoft forms coalition to PROMOTE “disinformation” online
I don’t see Google or Alphabet in this coalition.
Yes, I believe they are planning on calling their coalition the Ministry of Truth or Minitrue in Newspeak.
The sun rises in the west.
Epstein is alive.
“Provide the quotes or documentation for this.”
No, pull the pertinent quote.
The first paragraph pretty much covers it.
Rather ironic that the Beeb is in on it since Orwell was a Brit and foretold all of this.
WHY?!
Dump Microsoft. Switch to Linux.
—————
Can’t work using an Linux which has ABSOLUTELY no decent support for any applications only available on Windows or MacOS
This includes the Adobe suite, Autodesk 3D content creation apps, video editing, game engines, digital audio workstations (stuff I use everyday for content creation) and about 99.9% of all games (for pleasure)
Is not a cat or emu disinformation?
“The first paragraph pretty much covers it.”
Ok. So paste it in. I will read it.
With those oddball tech nerds in charge of deciding what I can say or read I feel so safe. NOT.
