In order to help individuals become more robust to the damaging impacts of internet disinformation, Google is launching a new campaign in Germany. Prebunking is a tactic that involves educating individuals on how to recognise bogus claims before they are presented with them. In Germany, the videos will show as adverts on Facebook, YouTube, or TikTok. A similar campaign is also being planned for India. Researchers and tech businesses are beginning to promote this method because it is both inexpensive and simple to produce and can reach millions of people when posted on wellknown platforms.

The annual African Tech Startups Funding Report from Disrupt Africa shows that for the first time ever, tech funding on the continent has surpassed $3 billion. The paper issues a warning that quantifying this type of finance is not an exact science because there is disagreement over what constitutes a African startup.

With 43.4% of all the money that the continents businesses have raised going towards capital, fintech continues to rule.

What is known about Pentagon efforts to investigate unidentified aerial phenomena and UFOs.

The White House says it will discuss unidentified aircraft phenomena with its partners while the hunt for three enigmatic objects shot down over Canad

The White House says it will discuss unidentified aircraft phenomena with its partners while the hunt for three enigmatic objects shot down over Canada and the US continues. White House national security council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Monday that these mysterious airborne phenomena have been observed for many years, without explanation or thorough review by the government. Unidentified aerial phenomenon, or UAP for short, is the name given to what are more frequently referred to as unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, in official contexts. U.S. intelligence officers detailed recent sightings of U.S. military aircraft, including UAP that looked to manoeuver abruptly, or move at high speed, without obvious means of propulsion, in a report that made headlines in June 2021.

The EU formally bans the sale of gas and diesel vehicles starting in 2035.

In an effort to hasten the switch to electric vehicles, the European Parliament has approved a rule that will forbid the sale of new gas and diesel ca

In an effort to hasten the switch to electric vehicles, the European Parliament has approved a rule that will forbid the sale of new gas and diesel cars in the European Union beginning in 2035. The new rule prohibits the sale of any new fossil fuelpowered automobiles in the 27country bloc because it requires a 100% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from newly purchased vehicles. However, since the regulation was first proposed in July 2021, a few automakers, business leaders, and nations have voiced their opposition to the EU. The final agreement, which was approved on Tuesday, contains flexibility, including a provision allowing small automakers who produce fewer than 10,000 vehicles annually to bargain for softer standards until 2036.
