Binance hasn’t REcovered $6B+, it’s COVERING it (reimbursing customers from company funds). Some was frozen, but Binance is not likely to recover even half.
Bad headlines like this are a big part of why I started covering crypto. Generalist reporters on deadline far too often end up repeating company spin.
![Tweet by Binance @binance Oct 30 Binance has begun [begun highlight] recovering [end highlight] affected assets for users and continues to work with law enforcement, issuers, blockchain intelligence firms and industry partners to trace, freeze and recover additional funds. The company has already publicly committed to cover losses through company funds in the prior announcement. [begin highlight] Binance has already reserved over $6.34B of company funds to cover this incident. [end highlight] $5B of these funds are already held in the exact token assets that were impacted. We are completing the purchase of the remaining amount by buying token assets through market channels and OTC channels. We are doing this to match the format of the remaining token assets and address any asset shortfalls. This step can take longer because some tokens may have low liquidity and OTC settlement also takes time. We will share more progress as soon as we can. These figures do not include frozen or protected assets, which remain subject to ongoing recovery and verification. Currently, $3bn has been frozen, with thanks to our industry partners. We are working with partners and law enforcement to recover the frozen assets.We will continue to use company resources to cover confirmed shortfall and will provide further verified updates as recovery efforts progress. Ultimately, all user funds will be ve](/system/remote_media/posts/01a198e7-8242-773b-960e-e13a51bdda9e/img-ed7d8f63c33d.avif)

Hi there! 👋 A lot of our followers here in the Fediverse have asked how we put together the “Dewi Explains” clips.
Here’s a fresh blog post (by @lxplm@mastodon.social, @Olivia_Luise@mastodon.social, and @andygiefer@mastodon.social) that documents the process:
“Malcolm’s work represents a style that we cannot repeat. But its beauty lies in the fact that it’s part of journalism’s vital and fertile history.”
…and here we go:
“Dewi explains” Episode 6 – #Fediverse.
In the season finale, our smart and friendly robot colleague gives you the basics of sustainable, decentralized #SocialMedia. 🌐
(brought to you by @Olivia_Luise@mastodon.social @andygiefer@mastodon.social & @lxplm@mastodon.social)
P.S.: Don’t forget to tell us how you liked our little series of media/tech videos. And if you’d like to see a second season. 📺
“Dewi explains” Episode #05: SPOT. 🔍
This time, it’s all about next-level #geolocation #verification – and a really useful tool we’ve built right here, at DW Innovation.
Dewi is a big fan.

@pait@mastodon.social Zelenskyy remaining on X is something I find difficult to understand, given Ukraine’s extensive experience in dealing with disinformation.
Again, my point is: if Trump can communicate through his own social media platform and media outlets still follow and report what he says there, why wouldn’t the same happen if another major political leader moved elsewhere?
The information itself has value. If millions of people are interested in what a political leader has to say, journalists will follow it wherever it is published.

From the Associated Press Stylebook:
„Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects. Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.“ #artificialintelligence #journalism
“Dewi explains” Episode #04: GEO – generative engine optimization.
The term everyone’s using, explained in a concise and critical fashion. By our robot colleague. 🤖

“Dewi explains” Episode #03: MIL – media and information literacy.
1,5 minutes. No fluff. Just the basics every media professional should know.

Published last month and still worth reading: The official statement on how DW uses #AI in #journalism.
Two key sentences: “We use AI only where it serves a clear editorial, public-interest or accessibility purpose. We do not use AI simply because it is new or attention-grabbing. Trust, accuracy, and accountability remain the foundation of our journalism.”
New Opening: We’re seeking a paid intern to help us cover the 2027 Texas Legislative session. A perfect opportunity for student journalists who are finishing their schooling, you’ll work with Politics Editor Justin Miller to get hands on experience in political/policy #journalism. texasobserver.org/2027-legislative-inte…
This is the big LG television surveillance documentary story GN have been working on for a couple of months, and that they previewed a few days ago.
The complete pervasiveness of spying upon not just you and what you watch but every person and every device around every set is genuinely staggering. And it gets worse if you use their apps, particularly the LG TV “network”:
youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA
Having an old set DOES NOT HELP YOU; they’ve been adding these spying functions in firmware updates.
So DO NOT BUY ANYTHING LG. Certainly not anything “smart.”
