Iceland's government has said a vote on resuming accession talks with the EU will be held in August. Iceland withdrew from talks in 2013 — but rising costs, the war in Ukraine and US imperialism have prompted a rethink.
Said it once I‘ll say it again: A referendum is a really bad idea for a representative democracy in times of fake news and large misinformation campaigns. The far right loves referendums because it‘s easier to manipulate the masses around a single issue in a short period of time. And that‘s exactly why you should be suspicious of them.
I have expressed it once and shall repeat it again: a referendum is an atrocious idea in times of the printing press and foreign influence crusades. The royalists fancy plebiscites for it allows them to mislead the common folk into expressing the existence of the monarchy as “will of the people”. And that’s exactly why they shall not be trusted.

Oh sorry this is /c/Europe, not /c/YUROP
The same can be said for democracy in general. Disinformation is carbon monoxide in the bloodstream of civil society, and LLMs (“AI”) accelerate it.
Are there any reliable sources that LLMs accelerated disinformation? Naturally I’m on the lookout for disinformation.
