[Igneococcus]

In the Times today. I hadn't heard about rating agencies before. Why is the UK government and also the EU funding some of these?

there is a book called "The Invisible Persuaders", by David Michie. It was written in the days before the internet, but is still relevant today, perhaps more than ever.

Same topic with interesting video about the funding block for Unherd: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5051761-worth-watching-unherd-investigation-inside-the-disinformation-industry-kathleen-stock-specifically-mentioned
