La minaccia di LOCKBIT ritorna in Italia: Attacco ransomware contro GB Ricambi
Il famoso gruppo di cybercriminali LockBit ha rivendicato un nuovo attacco informatico ai danni di GB Ricambi, azienda italiana specializzata nella produzione e distribuzione di ricambi e componenti per macchine agricole e movimento terra.
L’attacco è stato rivendicato sul Data Leak Site (DLS) di LockBit 3.0, dove il gruppo ha dichiarato di aver violato i sistemi di GB Ricambi. Tuttavia, non sono stati forniti dettagli specifici sui dati compromessi, lasciando in sospeso l’entità effettiva della violazione e l’impatto potenziale per i clienti coinvolti.
L’attacco a GB Ricambi
La ransomware gang ha rilasciato poche informazioni sull’attacco, non specificando né la tipologia né la quantità dei dati esfiltrati. Si sono limitati a impostare un conto alla rovescia di circa 11 giorni per la pubblicazione e la diffusione dei dati sottratti.
La Situazione Attuale
In data 18/06/2024, GB Ricambi ha rilasciato un comunicato in cui affermano che, GB RICAMBI S.p.A. ha rilevato un accesso non autorizzato a documenti commerciali contenenti dati anagrafici di alcuni clienti, come nome, cognome, comune, provincia e indirizzo email.
Non sono state compromesse le credenziali di accesso al portale di e-commerce. L’azienda ricorda ai clienti di non fornire mai codici personali o password via email o telefono. Hanno preso provvedimenti immediati e informato l’Autorità Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
Difatti, in tale data è stato confermato un attacco da parte di un altro gruppo ransomware, RansomHub, che ha pubblicato i dati esfiltrati di circa 400 GigaByte.
Conclusioni
Attualmente, non siamo in grado di confermare se i dati esfiltrati da LockBit coincidano con quelli pubblicati da RansomHub. Questa incertezza ci impedisce di escludere la possibilità che GB Ricambi possa aver subito un ulteriore attacco, distinto da quello inizialmente rivendicato.
Come nostra consuetudine, lasciamo sempre spazio ad una dichiarazione da parte dell’azienda qualora voglia darci degli aggiornamenti sulla vicenda. Saremo lieti di pubblicare tali informazioni con uno specifico articolo dando risalto alla questione.
RHC monitorerà l’evoluzione della vicenda in modo da pubblicare ulteriori news sul blog, qualora ci fossero novità sostanziali. Qualora ci siano persone informate sui fatti che volessero fornire informazioni in modo anonimo possono utilizzare la mail crittografata del whistleblower.

VR Headset with HDMI Input Invites a New Kind of Cyberdeck
Meta’s Quest VR headset recently got the ability to accept and display video over USB-C, and it’s started some gears turning in folks’ heads. [Ian Hamilton] put together a quick concept machine consisting of a Raspberry Pi 400 that uses a VR headset as its monitor, which sure seems like the bones of a new breed of cyberdeck.With passthrough on, one still sees the outside world.
The computer-in-a-keyboard nature of the Pi 400 means that little more than a mouse and the VR headset are needed to get a functional computing environment. Well, that and some cables and adapters.
What’s compelling about this is that the VR headset is much more than just a glorified monitor. In the VR environment, the external video source (in this case, the Raspberry Pi) is displayed in a window just like any other application. Pass-through can also be turned on, so that the headset’s external cameras display one’s surroundings as background. This means there’s no loss of environmental awareness while using the rig.
Video over USB-C is technically DisplayPort altmode, and both the video source and the USB-C cable have to support it. In [Ian]’s case, the Raspberry Pi 400 outputs HDMI and he uses a Shadowcast 2 capture card to accept HDMI on one end and outputs video over USB-C on the other.
As a concept it’s an interesting one for sure. Perhaps we’ll see decks of this nature in our next cyberdeck contest?
Hackaday Links: September 1, 2024
Why is it always a helium leak? It seems whenever there’s a scrubbed launch or a narrowly averted disaster, space exploration just can’t get past the problems of helium plumbing. We’ve had a bunch of helium problems lately, most famously with the leaks in Starliner’s thruster system that have prevented astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams from returning to Earth in the spacecraft, leaving them on an extended mission to the ISS. Ironically, the launch itself was troubled by a helium leak before the rocket ever left the ground. More recently, the Polaris Dawn mission, which is supposed to feature the first spacewalk by a private crew, was scrubbed by SpaceX due to a helium leak on the launch tower. And to round out the helium woes, we now have news that the Peregrine mission, which was supposed to carry the first commercial lander to the lunar surface but instead ended up burning up in the atmosphere and crashing into the Pacific, failed due to — you guessed it — a helium leak.
Thankfully, there’s a bit more technical detail on that last one; it seems that a helium pressure control valve, designated PCV2 and controlling helium to pressurize an oxidizer tank, got stuck open thanks to “vibration-induced relaxation” in threaded components within the valve. So, launch vibrations shook a screw loose inside the valve, which kept it from sealing and over-pressurized an oxidizer tank with helium to the point of tank failure — kablooie, end of mission. All of these failures are just another way of saying that space travel is really, really hard, of course. But still, with helium woes figuring so prominently in so many failures, we’re left wondering if there might not be an upside to finding something else to pressurize tanks.
Back on terra firma, we got a tip from a reader going by the name of [Walrus] who is alarmed by an apparent trend in the electronics testing market toward a subscription model for the software needed to run modern test gear. Specifically, the tip included a link to a reseller offering a deal on an “Ultimate Software Bundle” for Tektronix 4 Series Mixed-Signal Oscilloscopes. The offer expired at the end of 2023 and prices aren’t mentioned, but given that a discount of up to $5,670 with purchase of a scope was advertised, we’d imagine the Ultimate Software Bundle comes at a pretty steep price. The chief concern [Walrus] expressed was about the possibility that used instruments whose software is tied to a subscription may have little to no value in the secondary market, where many up-and-coming engineers shop for affordable gear. We haven’t had any personal experience with subscription models for test equipment software, and a quick read of the Tektronix site seems to suggest that subscriptions are only one of the models available for licensing instrument software. Still, the world seems to be moving to one where everything costs something forever, and that the days of a “one and done” purchase are going away. We’d love to hear your thoughts on subscription software for test gear, especially if we’ve misread the situation with Tek. Sound off in the comments below.
In this week’s edition of “Dystopia Watch,” we’re alarmed by a story about how police departments are experimenting with generative AI to assist officers in report writing. The product, called Draft One, is from Axon, a public safety technology concern best known for its body-worn cameras and tasers. Using Azure OpenAI, Draft One transcribes the audio from body cam footage and generates a “draft narrative” of an officer’s interaction with the public. The draft is then reviewed by the officer, presumably corrected if needed, and sent on to a second reviewer before becoming the official report. Axon reports that it had to adjust the LLM’s settings to keep AI hallucinations from becoming part of the narrative. While we can see how this would be a huge benefit to officers, who generally loathe everything about report writing, and would get them back out on patrol rather than sitting in a parking lot tapping at a keyboard, we can also see how this could go completely sideways in a hurry. All it will take is one moderately competent defense attorney getting an officer to admit under oath that the words of the report were not written by him or her, and this whole thing goes away.
And finally, getting three (or more) monitors to all agree on what white is can be quite a chore, and not just a little enraging for the slightly obsessive-compulsive — it’s one of the reasons we favor dark mode so much, to be honest. Luckily, if you need a screen full of nothing but #FFFFFF pixels so you can adjust color balance in your multi-monitor setup, it’s as easy as calling up a web page. The White Screen Tool does one thing — paints all the pixels on the screen whatever color you want. If you need all white, it’s just a click away — no need to start up MS Paint or GIMP and futz around with making it bezel-to-bezel. There are plenty of other presets, if white isn’t your thing, plus a couple of fun animated screens that imitate Windows update screens — let the office hijinks begin! You can also set custom colors, which is nice; might we suggest #1A1A1A and #F3BF10?
Film, As You Have Never Had It Explained Before
For all the advances in digital photography, there remains a mystique for photographers and filmmakers about chemical film. Using it presents an artistic and technical challenge, and it lends an aesthetic to your work which is difficult to find in other ways. But particularly when it comes to moving pictures, how many of us have ever ventured beyond the Super 8 cartridge? If you’re not lucky enough to have a Spielberg budget, [Stand-Up Maths] is here with a video taking the viewer through the various movie film formats. He claims it’s the first video shot for YouTube in 35mm, and given that his first point is about the costs involved, we can see why.
In particular it serves as an introduction to the various film terms and aspect ratios. We all know what full frame and IMAX are, but do many of us know what they really mean in camera terms. A particularly neat demonstration comes when he has two cameras side by side with the same stock as a split screen, one 35mm and the other 16mm. The cheaper smaller framed format is good quality, but using a profession resolution chart you can see some of the differences clearly. The full film is below the break, and we’d suggest you watch it in the full 4K resolution if you are able to.
Meanwhile, some of us have been known to dabble in 8mm film, and even sometimes shoot footage with it.

Bluesky experiences a massive new wave of signups from Brazil, Premium feeds with sub.club, and much more.

1 million new accounts on Bluesky as Brazil bans X, and premium feeds with Sub.club, and much much more.
Brazil bans X, and a signup wave to Bluesky
The Brazilian supreme court has banned the use of X in an ongoing legal fight with Elon Musk. The ban follows after a long trajectory of legal issues between the Brazilian government and Musk’s X. In April 2024, the Brazilian court ordered X to block certain X accounts that were allegedly related to the 2023 coup attempt, which Musk refused to do. In that same time period, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva opened an account on Bluesky, and there was already an inflow of a Brazilian community into Bluesky. Now, the legal fight has further escalated over X’s refusal to appoint a legal representative in the country, and Musk’s continuing refusal to comply with Brazil’s laws and regulation has resulted in the supreme court banning the use of X in the country altogether.
The ban on X has caused a massive signup wave to Bluesky, with over 1 million new accounts created in just three days, of which the large majority are from Brazil. The user statistics shot up even more than that, suggesting that there are a lot of people with an existing account logging back in as well.
The new inflow of people to Bluesky is having some significant effects on the network, as well as on the state of decentralised social networks more broadly:
- President Lula is putting actual focus on Bluesky. In one of his final posts on X, Luala listed in non-alphabetical order all other platforms that he is active on, and placed Bluesky at the top of the list. Posts by Lula that are placed on Bluesky (134k followers) as well as on Threads (2.4m followers) get more than 5 times as much likes on Bluesky. Today, Lula explicitly asked people on Bluesky what they thought about the platform, in a post that got over 30k likes and counting. It is hard to imagine that the Brazilian government is not paying attention to this all, and is looking which platform(s) the Brazilian community is moving towards in the wake of the ban on X.
- Brazilians are a very active community on the internet (see Orkut), and bring with them their own unique culture to Bluesky. The current decentralised social networks are heavily focused on US politics, judged by top posts on both Mastodon and Bluesky, and beyond shitposts and memes there is surprisingly little space for mainstream pop culture and sports. The Brazilian community does seem to bring a large number of pop culture and sports to Bluesky, significantly diversifying the topics of discussion, and in turn, creating more space for other people who are interested in that in the future. The activity of Brazilians on microblogging can also be seen in the like counts on popular posts of Bluesky: before this week, the most popular posts of any given day usually got around 3k likes, this has sprung up to 30k to 50k likes. Brazilians are so chatty in fact, that currently 81% of the posts on the network are in Portugese, and the amount of accounts of people who post on a given day has gone up from a third to over 50%.
- The Bluesky engineers have build a very robust infrastructure system, and the platform has largely cruised along fine without issues, even when faced with a 15x increase in traffic. This all without having to add any new servers. For third party developers, such as the Skyfeed developer, this increase in traffic did came with downtime and more hardware requirements however. It shows the complications of engineering an open system, while the Bluesky team itself was prepared with their core infrastructure, third party infrastructure, on which a large number of custom feeds rely, was significantly less prepared for the massive increase in traffic.
In contrast, the ban on X in Brazil has made little impact on Mastodon, with 3.5k new signups from Brazil on Mastodon.social. I’d estimate that this week has seen 10k new accounts above average, with 15k new accounts the previous week and 25k in this week. That places Mastodon two orders of magnitude behind Bluesky in signups from Brazil. There are a variety of reasons for this, which deserve their own analysis, this newsletter is long enough as it is. One thing I do want to point out is within fediverse community there are two sub communities that each have their own goals and ideas about the fediverse and growth. Some people responded with the news that most Brazilians went to Bluesky with type of response that indicated that they appreciate the small, quiet and cozy community that the fediverse currently provides, and a distrust of the growth-at-all-costs model for social networks. For other people however, their goal of the fediverse is to build a global network that everyone is a part of and everyone uses (‘Big Fedi’), a view of the fediverse that is also represented in the latest episode of the Waveform podcast (see news below). And if the goal is to build ActivityPub into the default protocol for the social web, it is worth paying attention to what is happening right now in the Brazilian ATmosphere.
The News
Sub.club is a new way to monetise feeds on the fediverse, with the goal of bringing the creator economy to the fediverse. It gives people the ability to create premium feeds that people can only access via a subscription. People can follow this feed from any Mastodon account (work on other fediverse platforms is ongoing). Sub.club handles the payment processes and infrastructure, for which they charge 6% of the subscription fee (compared to 8-12% Patreon charges). Sub.club also makes it possible for other apps to integrate, both IceCubes and Mammoth have this option. Bart Decrem, who is one of the people behind Sub.club, is also the co-founder of the Mastodon app Mammoth. Sub.club also explicitly positions itself as a way for server admins to fund their server. Most server admins rely on donations by their users, often via services like Patreon, Ko-fi, Open Collective or other third party options. By integration payments directly into the fediverse, Sub.club hopes that the barrier for donations will be lower, and more server admins can be financially sustainable.
Newsmast has build a new version of groups software for the fediverse, and the first group is dedicated to the Harris campaign. There are few types of groups available that integrate with Mastodon, such as with Friendica or a.gup.pe. These groups function virtually identical to hashtags, by boosting out posts where the group account is tagged in to everyone who follows the group account. As there is no moderation in these types of group accounts, it allows anyone to hijack the group account. A group account dedicated to a political campaign is especially vulnerable to this. On Mastodon a volunteer Harris Campaign group used a Friendica group for campaign organising, but the limited moderation tools (blocking a user from following the group) that are available are not working, which allowed blocked users to still get their posts boosted by the group account. Newsmast’s version of Groups gives (working) moderation tools, and only boosts top level comments and not replies, to cut down on the noise. For now, the new Group is only available to the Harris Campaign group for testing, but it will come later to Mastodon servers that run the upcoming Patchwork plugin.
Bluesky added quite a number of new anti-toxicity features in their most recent app update. Bluesky has added quote posting controls, allowing people to set on a per-post basis if people can quote the post or not. There is also the option to remove quotes after the fact as well: if you’ve allowed quote posts on a post you’ve made, but someone made a quote post that you do not feel comfortable with, you have the possibility to detach your post. Another update is the possibility to hide replies on your posts. Bluesky already hides comments under a ‘show more’ button if the comment is labeled by a labeler you subscribe to. You now have the option to do so on all comments that are made on your posts, and the hidden comment will be hidden for everyone. Finally, Bluesky has changed how replies are shown in the Following feed, which is an active subject of discussion. I appreciate the comments made by Bluesky engineer Dan Abramov here, who notes there are two different ways of using Bluesky, who each prioritise comments in conflicting ways. As new communities grow on Bluesky, prioritising their (conflicting) needs becomes more difficult, and I’m curious to see how this further plays out.
The WVFRM (Waveform) podcast of popular tech YouTuber MKBHD has a special show about the fediverse, ‘Protocol Wars – The Fediverse Explained!’. It is partially a discussion podcast, partial explainer, and partial interview with many people within the community. They talk with Mastodon’s Eugen Rochko, Bluesky’s Jay Graber, Threads’s Adam Mosseri, and quite some more people. It is worth noting for a variety of reason. The show is quite a good introduction, that talks to many of the most relevant names within the community. MKBHD is one of the biggest names in the tech creator scene, and many people are paying attention to what he and his team is talking about. Furthermore, I found the framing as ‘protocol wars’ interesting, as the popularity of Bluesky in Brazil as an X replacement indicates that there is indeed a race between platforms to be build on top of the new dominant protocol.
Darnell Clayton has a very interesting blog post, in which he discovers that there is a discrepancy in follower count for Threads accounts that have turned on fediverse sharing. Clayton notes that the follower count shown in the Threads app is lower than the one shown in a fediverse client, for both Mastodon and Flipboard. He speculates that this difference is the number of fediverse accounts that follow a Threads account. It should be noted that this is speculation and has not been confirmed, but if this is true, it would give us a helpful indication of how many fediverse accounts are using the connection with Threads. While we’re talking about Threads accounts, Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko confirmed that the mastodon.social server has made a connection with 15.269 Threads accounts who have turned on fediverse sharing.

3D Printed Homes Are All the Hype, but What is Their Real Impact?
Additive manufacturing (AM) has been getting a lot of attention over the years, with its use in construction a recurring theme. Generally this brings to mind massive 3D printers that are carted to construction sites and assemble entire homes on the spot. That’s the perspective with which a recent ZDNet article by [Rajiv Rao] opens, before asking whether AM in construction is actually solving any problems. As [Rajiv] notes, the main use of such on-site AM construction is for exclusive, expensive designs, such as ICON’s House Zero which leans into the extruded concrete printing method.
Their more reasonable Wolf Ranch residential homes in Texas also use ICON’s Vulcan II printer to print walls out of concrete, with a roof, electrical wiring, plumbing, etc. installed afterwards. Prices for these Wolf Ranch 3 to 4 bedroom houses range from about $450,000 to $600,000, and ICON has been contracted by NASA to work a way to 3D print structures on the Moon out of regolith.3D printed home by WASP out of clay. (Credit: WASP)
Naturally, none of these prices are even remotely in the range of the first-home buyers, or the many economically disadvantaged who make up a sizable part of the population in the US and many other nations in the Americas, Africa, etc. To make AM in construction economically viable, it would seem that going more flatpack and on-site assembly is the way to go, using the age-old pre-fabrication (prefab) method of constructions.
This is the concept behind the University of Maine’s BioHome3D, which mainly uses PLA, wood fiber and similar materials to create modules that contain insulation in the form of wood fiber and cellulose. These modules are 3D printed in a factory, after which they’re carted off to the construction site for assembly, pretty much like any traditional prefab home, just with the AM step and use of PLA rather than traditional methods.
Prefab is a great way to speed up construction and already commonly used in the industry, as modules can have windows, doors, insulation, electrical wiring, plumbing, etc. all installed in the factory, with on-site work limited to just final assembly and connecting the loose bits. The main question thus seems to be whether AM in prefab provides a significant benefit, such as in less material wasted by working from (discarded) wood pulp and kin.
While in the article [Rajiv] keeps gravitating towards the need to use less concrete (because of the climate) and make homes more affordable through 3D printing, AM is not necessarily the panacea some make it out to be, due to the fact that houses are complex structures that have to do much more than provide a floor, walls and a roof. If adding a floor (or two) on top of the ground floor, additional requirements come into play, before even considering aspects like repairability which is rarely considered in the context of AM construction.
Ieri avevo in programma un giro per negozi di biciclette per vedere e provare un po' di bici elettriche. Uno di questi si trova a Spandau, che rispetto a casa mia è inculatissima (un'ora di viaggio minimo) per cui ho unito l'utile al dilettevole e con l'occasione sono stata anche a visitare la Cittadella.
Vista dalla Juiliusturm (1230), dicono il più antico edificio preservato di Berlino.
Questa scelta mi ha innanzitutto regalato la conoscenza degli Heilung, band che pesta tantissimo e che suonava la sera stessa proprio nella Cittadella. I tecnici che ne facevano il soundcheck mentre io gironzolavo me li hanno fatti apprezzare. Se amate la musica che pesta tantissimo date loro un orecchio, secondo me possono messere d'accordo gente dai gusti diversi (purché pestino! L'ho detto che pestanopestanopestano?).
Poi va detto che il biglietto di ingresso a 4,50 € stracciati dà accesso a tutti e sei i musei presenti nel complesso, piccoli, diversi, ma tutti meritevoli. Ho saltato solo il Centro d'Arte Contemporanea perché chiuso per allestimento di una mostra.
Prima fermata: la "finestra archeologica"
Qui sono conservati gli scavi archeologici che hanno portato alla luce le tre fasi costruttive della fortificazione. Dal XIII al XVI secolo si vede l'evoluzione dalla prima palizzata in legno, alle mura in pietra medievali, al castello in stile rinascimentale e mattoni rossi oggi visibile. Vengono spiegati anche dettagli ingegneristici, tipo che per costruire i bastionazzi così come sono oggi hanno "sbrodolato" fuori dai confini dell'isoletta su cui era sorto il nucleo originario. Per costruire in acqua hanno praticamente fatto una fitta base di "denti" di legno su cui poi è stata costruita la struttura attuale. Che non sia sprofondato tutto per me ha del miracoloso.
Seconda fermata: il museo civico di Spandau
Qui sono esposti reperti della storia di Spandau: dalle repliche dei documenti ufficiali, agli oggetti di uso comune, al prodotto dell'industria qui storicamente stanziata, al (ovviamente) nazionalsocialismo, alla divisione.
Questi sono giocattoli, che già di per sé mi fa rabbrividire. Alle stuatuine di Hitler e Göring si può alzare il braccino per fargli fare il saluto nazista. Ha un sapore distopico, invece è successo davvero: dei bambini hanno giocato con 'sta roba.
Gironzolando qui ho scoperto che parte di Metropolis è stata girata a Spandau (pensavo solo ai Babelstudios, e invece) e c'è un memoriale di una persona che ha partecipato alla produzione che vorrò leggere per intero. Amo Metropolis!
Terza fermata: la sala d'armi (o come diavolo vogliamo tradurre Exerzierhalle)
Qui sono conservati cannoni. Decine e decine di cannoni. Il più vecchio è del primo '400, il più giovane risale alla Prima Guerra Mondiale.
Immaginate di stare accovacciati qui dietro a sparare al "nemico".
La sala è chiusa e, con il caldo, dentro ristagna un odore che ricorda un'officina meccanica, ma con un "twist" tutto suo. Il mio cervello lo ha etichettato come "odore di guerra", ma non penso che sul campo la puzza fosse quella (o almeno non soltanto quella).
Toccacciando in giro (perché qui è concesso mettere le mani sugli artefatti) ho poi constato come ci sia stata un'epoca, tra '600 e '700, in cui usava mettere motti vari sui cannoni. Questo qua mi ha colpita di più:
Dice:"Saturnus frist (!) die Kind allein ich fress sie aller gros (!) und klein" (grossomodo: "Saturno mangia solo i bambini, io mangio tutti, grandi e piccini". Che detto da un cannone ci sta).
Quarta tappa: il deposito provvigioni
Questo è un edificio del periodo rinascimentale, in parte ricostruito, oggi adibito a galleria che preserva una serie di monumenti scultorei precedentemente sparsi per Berlino dal XVIII al XX secolo. Praticamente un consesso di figure rilevanti per la storia della città (e non solo). Alla fine c'è anche lui: il capoccione di Lenin!
Avete presente il megaprogetto di Hitler per la trasformazione di Berlino nella "Welthauptstadt Germania"? Come doveva diventare una città monumentale, con al centro un ipermega edificio celebrativo? Ecco. Questo plastico rende l'idea di quanto megalomane fosse il progetto di quell'edificio: quella cosina a destra è la porta di Brandeburgo, in scala.
Quinta tappa: la casa del comandante
L'ho vista per ultima, ma, essendo sopra la biglietteria, in realtà si potrebbe vedere anche come prima cosa. Qui sono conservati reperti e documenti della storia della Cittadella, altri dettagli sulle fasi costruttive, ma anche flora e fauna del luogo.
Che dire alla fine di tutto questo? Ma niente, solo che ogni volta che sfioro la storia di questa città il brivido lungo la schiena è assicurato. Qua sono successe cose folli.
(Oh, le bici in tutto questo le ho provate eh. Ho due candidate tra cui decidere).

Postulo che i titolisti siano i primi responsabili della disinformazione.
Da quando, su Internet, la "trazione" generata da un titolo è precisamente misurabile in click la corsa all'intestazione più acchiappaclick è diventata talmente agguerrita da meritarsi un posto alle Olimpiadi. È lo stramaledetto clickbait.
Non importa più che il titolo rifletta in maniera succinta i contenuti dell'articolo, basta che incuriosisca il lettore abbastanza da cliccare. E allora daje de titoli scandalistici o palesemente falsi.
Questo non sarebbe un enorme problema se tutti andassero a leggere gli articoli così mal intitolati, anzi: sgamando subito l'opera di un titolista truffaldino, ce ne andremmo immediatamente dalla pagina (con conseguente crollo dei tempi di permanenza su di essa, altra metrica rilevante) e non torneremmo più su quella testata.
Ma questo non succede: nello scrollare quotidianamente la timeline di un social o il feed di un aggregatore RSS si leggono.... Al 90% solo i titoli? Ed ecco che la frittata è fatta.
Se leggo un titolo che dice "Studio dimostra l'inefficacia dei vaccini COVID" e non vado a leggere l'articolo, che magari, al contrario, parla di uno studio che dimostra l'efficacia al 95% e mi dettaglia in quali casi non lo è, ho assorbito un'informazione non solo errata, ma diametralmente opposta al senso della notizia.
Tutto per dei cazzi di click.
Google dice che la SEO ha rovinato l'Internet. Va bene che tralascia il fatto che se la SEO esiste è perché sono loro ad aver stabilito le regole del ranking, ma di per sé l'affermazione non è scorretta.
La verità, online, vale meno della visibilità.

La verità sull’arresto politico di Pavel Durov | World Politics Blog
"Dopo i numerosi casi del passato, come quello di Julian Assange, vittima di anni di persecuzione, e dei già citati Edward Snowden – costretto a chiedere la cittadinanza russa – e Meng Wanzhou, l’arresto di Pavel Durov rappresenta l’ennesimo caso di flagrante violazione dei diritti umani da parte delle potenze occidentali, che continuano ad applicare il proprio doppio standard secondo il quale le violazioni sono solo quelle commesse da terzi."
