Quick Glance: Anonymous Accounts Spread Misinformation

Public figures quickly reacted to a false claim about skyrocketing voter registration rates without a photo ID in three states by an anonymous account on the social media platform X.

These accounts purposefully spread misinformation and use anonymity to dominate extensive political discussions online.

The dissemination of false information by pseudonymous accounts raises concerns regarding trust in sources and impacts the US presidential election.

The use of shadow accounts to spread lies demonstrates how financially savvy users leverage the online trolling playbook to their advantage, jeopardizing credibility.

cnn.com/2024/04/13/world/italian-prime-minister-says-surrogacy-inhuman-intl/

Quick Glance: Italian PM Giorgia Meloni vows to crack down surrogacy, calls it ‘inhuman’ practice

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed her opposition to surrogacy, deeming it an 'inhuman' practice that should incur harsher penalties.

Her views on surrogacy align with those of the Catholic Church, which argues that the practice violates the integrity of the child and the woman.

The move against surrogacy is perceived as a blow to the rights of LGBTQ+ communities in Italy, where same-sex marriages are not allowed under the influence of the Catholic Church.

PM Meloni has pledged to address the country's declining birth rates by implementing women-friendly policies such as improving child care and other support for working women.

Under a settlement, Wohl and Burkman must pay a $1 million judgment to the NY attorney general’s office, the NCBCP, and the harmed plaintiffs.

Quick Glance: Conviction for Theft and Sale of Biden's Daughter's Diary

A Florida mother was sentenced to a month in prison and three months of home confinement for stealing and selling President Joe Biden’s daughter’s diary to the conservative group Project Veritas four years ago.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain at the Manhattan federal court called the actions of the Palm Beach, Florida woman 'despicable'.

In August 2022, Harris pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge, admitting to receiving $20,000 of the $40,000 paid by Project Veritas for personal items of the president's daughter, Ashley Biden.

Swain noted that Harris and a co-defendant, Robert Kurlander from nearby Jupiter, Florida, had initially tried unsuccessfully to sell Ashley Biden’s belongings to then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign.

Smartmatic settles defamation case against OAN over 2020 election conspiracy theories

Quick Glance: OAN and Smartmatic Reach Settlement in Defamation Lawsuit

Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to a confidential settlement of a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet's lies about the 2020 presidential elections.

The settlement followed a lawsuit filed by Smartmatic against OAN in 2021, alleging that the right-wing conspiracy network 'victimized' the company and spread lies about its role in the 2020 elections to boost viewership and revenue.

OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.

While the Smartmatic case has concluded, OAN still faces another defamation lawsuit from Dominion regarding the dissemination of falsehoods about the 2020 elections.

Former Uffizi director Eike Schmidt is running for mayor of Florence, causing unrest in the traditionally left-wing Tuscan capital.

Schmidt, a German, aims to become mayor of Florence with support from the center-right coalition, focusing on enhancing security, cleanliness, and tourism management.

Having successfully modernized the Uffizi, Schmidt's candidacy elicits mixed reactions despite his self-identification as an anti-fascist.

reut.rs/3TVYVLI

Quick Glance: Tensions between Meloni and Le Pen jeopardize far-right in the EU

Comparison of Italy's nationalist Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with French far-right leader Marine Le Pen leads to conflicts that could hinder the far right's aspirations for power in the EU.

Surveys predict significant gains for the far right in the upcoming European elections in June, but a merger of EU far-right groups is unlikely due to Meloni's collaboration strategy within the EU potentially reducing her influence.

The lack of unity in political platforms weakens the far right's influence on issues such as trade relations with China, Europe's response to the war in Ukraine, climate policy, and immigration.

Internal tensions and Meloni's efforts to keep Le Pen at bay impede the rising influence of the far right in Europe and could have significant implications for the EU's political landscape.

Putin's threats do not scare us – Italy's PM: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has stressed that the Kremlins threatening rhetoric doesnt frighten her.

Quick Glance: Italy's PM Unfazed by Putin's Threats

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has emphasized that the Kremlin's threatening rhetoric doesn't scare her.

According to the Italian news agency ANSA, Meloni's comments were in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks following the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert venue in Moscow's suburbs, which the Kremlin propaganda is trying to blame on Ukraine despite ISIS claiming responsibility.

Meloni stated, "I think the situation hasn't changed compared to what has happened before." She highlighted the need to maintain the deterrence that Europe and the West have established to prevent escalation.

Background: Putin alleged that a "back door" was prepared for the suspects of the attack to cross the border into Ukraine. The US government is certain that ISIS was involved in the terrorist attack at a concert in Moscow's suburbs on the evening of March 22. Previously, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned nuclear threats against his country made by Pyotr Tolstoy, Deputy Speaker of Russia's State Duma.
