Today is the 4-year anniversary of Christchurch. The event took the lives of 51 innocent people and shook New Zealand to its core. Please take a moment to hold victims of extremism and their families, who continue to grieve an unimaginable type of loss, in your hearts and minds.

A not-so-kind reminder to stop amplifying things you don’t understand. Stop speculating. Stop spreading conspiracy. At best, you’re murkying an already volatile information environment. At worst, you’re amplifying the same narratives that aided the radicalisation of the shooter.

If you believe in the right of ordinary citizens to be able to own such a firearm, you simply can NOT also be 'pro-life'. If you're both, all you're doing is forcing a woman to give birth & raise a child for 5 years just to send them to school to be blown to pieces by one...

NASA has announced the crew for Artemis II who will fly around the moon in the next 2 years. 👏🏻

Fantastic clip.

This is utterly heartbreaking...

Just want to reaffirm that these videos are very literally terrorist propaganda, they are meant to radicalize everyone, it is your responsibility to respect the dead and look away

While we’re all discussing the spread of disinformation and misinformation on Twitter, I’d like to call out a certain behaviour some self-described OSINTers are doing that doesn't help the situation; posting videos, images, and claims without sharing the original sources.

For the love of everything, please stop sharing speculations and playing live Guess Who on social media in the wake of a mass shooting. It does absolutely nothing but fuel conspiracy theories and slows down actual investigative work.
