Where did we go wrong? asked R. Marie Santini in the opening conference of #aoir2025 We ignore the business model, she said. Lies become commodity, disinformation as in industry, worse than cultural industry

Santini points out Lessons from the Global South: doing research is resisting. and three urgent agendas: global platforms transparency, AI business model and Environmental and Climate Disinformation. Without data, there is no research. Without free knowledge, there is no democracy. #AoIR2025

Opening of AoIr, the first association and event that I know that have your own instance of fediverse. The future will be distributed and federated #aoir2025 #niteroi #uff
