- Reposted by Katrin Paula⚠️ Update: It's now 8:00 am in #Iran where the sun is rising after another night of protests met with repression; metrics show the nationwide internet blackout remains in place at 36 hours, severely limiting Iranians' ability to check on the safety of friends and loved ones 📵

- Reposted by Katrin PaulaThird, @sabinecarey.bsky.social, Christian Gläßel & @kpaula.bsky.social ask if media shapes #Postwar attitudes long-term. Studying anti-government broadcasts in #Nepal, they find those exposed were less optimistic about peace, police, and civic activism up to 3 years after the station shut down.

- Reposted by Katrin PaulaNew pre-print on support for AI Killer Robots with @tobirommel.bsky.social & @kpaula.bsky.social. We find that the taboo on AI weapons is not strong.

- Reposted by Katrin PaulaOver the past year I've been asked many times how I think AI will change digital repression. This excellent piece touches on many of my worries. IMO AI-generated sludge (or slop as they call it here) is a far greater concern than propaganda. reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/ai-gene...
