A fascinating article about how a group of journalists working for the Hungary state news agency quietly documented all the ways the news was manipulated under the Orbán regime. They have now released a detailed report.

Among many things, this is a terrific example of resistance during the rule of authoritarian regimes. Document, document, document the abuses because one day the sun will shine and the truth can be revealed.

Done: "Let's add a delay so malware can be discovered while many haven't installed it yet"
Next up: "Everyone uses the delay now so nobody finds the malware"
Then: "Let's assign people to take a look at packages during the delay phase"
Then: "Our reviewers can't keep up so malware still slips through. Let's replace the time-based delay with a flag reviewers need to set once they're done."

Könnten die Medien bei Politiker*innen jenseits des Renten - und Pensionsalter immer auch das Alter dazu schreiben:
der 70-jährige Friedrich Merz
der 80-jährige Donald Trump
der 77-jährige Benjamin Netanjahu
der 74-jährige Wladimir Putin
der 77-jährige Xi Jinping
der 70-jährige Papst Leo
In Brasilien kandidiert der 80-jährige Lula da Silva erneut für das Präsidentenamt und 74-jährige Wolfgang Kubicki erneuert gerade seine Partei.
Mir hilft das, die Welt zu verstehen. #medien #Gerontokratie
