As her recovery continues, the next step is creating a living environment that supports her mobility, independence, and quality of life.

If you’re able to support or share, it would truly make a difference.

It’s been a while since an update on Emine — sharing where things are now.

Three years ago, she was pushed into a subway train in NYC. Since then, it’s been a long recovery journey.

Her story was recently featured in the New York Times:

Emine is reconnecting with her art. Creating again has become part of her healing.

Fact-checking is about accountability and facts, not censorship. Guided by @factchecknet's Code of Principles, our mission remains steadfast: to provide accurate, transparent information to preserve information integrity—our statement on @Meta ending the fact-checking program.

Here’s my statement on @Meta ending factchecking program.

🗣️AHORA | @Ferdi_Ozsoy, subdirector de la @factchecknet: “El programa “Spread the Fact” apoya organizaciones para combatir la desinformación a través de WhatsApp”

#CumbreDesinfo2023

[International Fact-Checking Network @factchecknet]

Journalists and fact-checkers “have to expose these operations and bring them to daylight, and also to acknowledge that this warfare exists and to explain it to people,” Aro said. “I have been so astonished that there are not so many journalists covering this topic.”

Big #osint and digital verification news: Google is beta testing a reverse image search tool that gives info such as the date an image was first indexed, as well as location info on a timeline!!! Just shown at #GlobalFact10

[International Fact-Checking Network @factchecknet]

Ukrainian fact-checker Deynychenko talked about how his team anticipated Russia's media campaign against Ukraine.

"They started to discuss details of potential silent attacks of Ukraine (on Russian TV). They were government officials, members of the parliament." #GlobalFact10

[Jan Jagers @JanJagers]

#Globalfact10 has been started ✅

Opening remarks by @BillAdairDuke and @Ferdi_Ozsoy and @GlennKesslerWP who presents the board.

No good news. Fact-checkers live up to high standards, spreaders of misinformation don’t meet that hurdle.

History will tell, says @GlennKesslerWP
