@nerdypursuit I'm glad we managed to get him to be part of the event. The accent is a little rusty, but still pretty good.

[Neville Borg @nevborg]

@porfyrogenitus @GiuseppeAttar17 Yes, absolutely, I'm not disputing that our density is problematic. Just pointing out how we compare to cities, since Reykjavik was mentioned.

The things you mention (and generally poor city management) are all major issues.

[Neville Borg @nevborg]

@GiuseppeAttar17 Malta is less densely populated than many European cities of a similar size.

🚨 MEP Feidias Panagiotou’s podcast is under fire for spreading misleading claims about the Russia-Ukraine war, including framing it as a “civil war” instead of an invasion. Our latest report breaks down the most troubling statements. 👇

@SarukhanyanVahe Hi Vahe, I'm a journalist at @TheTimesofMalta, I'm looking to speak to somebody about an issue related to Armenia. Could I email you or DM you to discuss it in private, please?

@eavernon I think I'm going to need to see a diagram to figure out what happened.

We need to talk about Kevin's massive splinter.

More from our discussion about whether AI-generated disinformation really is a threat to elections and democracy.

@MEDDMOhub @TheTimesofMalta

[Malta at the OSCE @MTatOSCE]

🌐 In the margins of the #WarsawHDC, @OSCE24MT, @osce_odihr, & @OSCE_RFoM co-organized a side event titled Preserving Democracy, Fighting Disinformation: AI-Generated Disinformation in the Context of Elections.

📍 Digital technologies can enhance democratic processes, but they also accelerate the spread of disinformation. In this important election year, access to accurate, diverse information is vital for informed decision-making.

📍 With AI-generated disinformation on the rise, public trust & fair competition are increasingly at risk. Recent incidents, like deepfakes & #AI-driven disinformation, highlight the danger to electoral integrity, media trust, & societal cohesion 🗳️

🇲🇹 #Malta’s @OSCE Chairpersonship emphasizes the critical role of #MediaFreedom & #MediaLiteracy in safeguarding #democracy.

🙏 Our sincere thanks to all participants & panelists for their valuable contributions to this important discussion.

Discussing the work carried out by @TheTimesofMalta and @MEDDMOhub to combat disinformation in Malta.

[OSCE media freedom @OSCE_RFoM]

Jointly with @osce_odihr & @OSCE24MT we hosted discussions on preserving democracy & fighting #disinformation. AI-generated disinfo can undermine the integrity of information, elections & democratic processes. We should combat it while promoting free speech & #MediaFreedom.
