In an age of #fake news, #propaganda, #maga, #Twitter #bots and Russian #troll factories, we actually need trustworthy journalism. I must once again explicitly point out that the principle of "trust nobody" does not mean no longer believing official sources and only consuming unfiltered news from Russian-controlled #Telegram channels and basing your world view on them.
"Trust nobody but don't stop thinking - if you belive the earth is flat you are far beyond a border no one should pass!"

Then the #ArabSpring happened
#Autocracy around the world leaped to attention
13 years later, they have figured out how to coopt it with #troll farms and #plutocracy, #corruption
And now they wield it against #democracy instead
