„Coronavirus: EU-Diplomaten warnen vor russischer Desinformation – Laut dem Europäischen Auswärtigen Dienst verbreiten russische Trolle Unwahrheiten über den Covid-19-Ausbruch, um Zwietracht zu säen und zu spalten. – Eine für Osteuropa zuständige Abteilung des Europäischen Auswärtigen Diensts (EAD) warnt in der Coronavirus-Krise vor Desinformationskampagnen russischer Trolle. Diese versuchten, Misstrauen in die Regierungen der EU-Mitgliedsstaaten zu säen und die Bevölkerung zu spalten, warnt die ‚East Stratcom‘-Arbeitsgruppe. Pro-russische Nachrichtenseiten wollten den Europäern weismachen, ‚dass die Demokratie nicht funktioniert‘. – Allein rund ein Drittel der in dieser Woche entdeckten 86 Fälle von ‚Fake News‘ bezögen sich auf SARS-CoV-2, schreibt East Stratcom in einer am Donnerstag veröffentlichten Analyse.“

„Woher stammen die Falschnachrichten zum Coronavirus? – Russische Akteure verbreiteten Fake News zum neuen Coronavirus, sagt das US-Außenministerium. Doch das zu belegen, ist schwierig. – Parallel zum weltweiten Ausbruch des neuen Coronavirus breitet sich im Internet eine ‚Infodemie‚ aus. So nennt die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) die massive Streuung von Informationen, Falschnachrichten und Verschwörungstheorien rund um den neuen Erreger. Ein Teil dieser Falschnachrichten sind schlicht Gerüchte, die Menschen im Netz posten, weil sie nach Antworten suchen. Ein anderer Teil scheint aber gezielt gestreut zu werden. So zumindest schreibt es die Washington Post. Das amerikanische Außenministerium verdächtigt demnach Russland, auf vielen Online-Kanälen massiv Desinformationen über das neue Coronavirus zu verbreiten.“

Twitch boomt: +66% in Italien
„This is Twitch’s moment – Live-streaming is more popular than ever – These are unprecedented times. It’s fun to joke about the apocalypse – gallows humor being the incredible coping mechanism that it is – but it’s way less fun when that particular societal realignment is happening outside your door. Not that you should really be going outside much. We are in the early days of something so big that it’s really impossible to conceptualize how it’s going to change the world. Even so, there are some things we can measure now, like Twitch. … You can see the effect locally, too. StreamElements found that in Italy, live-stream viewership (in terms of minutes watched) grew more than 66 percent since the first week of February and when the quarantine there began.“
