“We’re drowning in a sea of misinformation, much of it spread on a social network controlled by the world’s richest man. This isn’t a new problem, of course, but it’s reaching new levels of absurdity and concern,” writes our managing editor @csullivan in a new blogpost. He breaks down America’s truth crisis, and how Flipboard is maintaining a fact-first approach through it all.

Last year, New Mexico adopted House Bill 4, which establishes that those convicted of a felony can still vote, providing they are not incarcerated. A crew of people set to work registering newly eligible voters and in doing so discovered thousands of people who had been wrongfully denied their voting rights, for many years before. They’ve successfully sued the state so that those affected will be able to vote next Tuesday. It’s a victory, but some voters still feel mistrustful of the government. @bolts explains more.

Eritrean journalist Akberet Beyene was placed under house arrest in her home country as part of a crackdown on the media, and eventually fled the country dressed in her mother’s clothes and carrying her sister’s passport. It was just the first step in her journey to Canada as an asylum seeker. She tells her story in a new book, Geographies of the Heart,
which is excerpted in @thetyee.

AI regulation and privacy laws in Spanish-speaking Latin America are either dated or non-existent, which means that Meta users there can’t prohibit the company from using their content for training. “Artists are particularly vulnerable, as many promote their creative work on Meta’s platforms,” writes Lucila Pinto for @restofworld. She talked to creatives about what they plan to do.
