   It's up! My piece for Freedom News -- on information as mutual aid, with potential for a network of interconnected sites across the UK based on the French-language Mutu model:

     @antiaall3s I did think you might have insight into the Mutu Network! I'd been meaning to ask. I actually had a video chat with someone in Switzerland many months ago about it all, including the challenges of the charter and editorial standards. All lessons to learn from if the UK ever sees something similar develop here!

     @MediaActivist That sounds like a great project, i love these types of media initiatives. But they also have gotten so much more complicated in this day and age. I noticed how in the MUTU network they also have barrikade.info. But sadly during the pandemic they have been publishing questionable content, anti-vaxx and such. Especially i media, the contested topics are rampant. A huge moderation challenge.

     @antiaall3s Ah yes! It's been fascinating for me to learn all the websites over the last few years, translated through my browser, and grasp how it all works, though the SPIP system has been criticised and also there are those other editorial challenges. The form is good, if not always the content!

     @MediaActivist Insight would be a vast exaggeration. I know the two parts of it from Switzerland, barrikade from the swiss-german and renverse from the swiss-french part.
