After wiping its website clean pending a 'probe' into embarrassing leaks, the British state-funded Integrity Initiative (II) has hidden its Twitter account from the public, meaning only 'approved' followers can see its activity. 

The Scotland-based organization, which received roughly £2 million in government funding over the last 18 months, had fashioned itself as a benign charity fighting "disinformation" online.

The European Union (EU) is proposing that Russia guarantee 60bn cubic metres (cm) of gas transits from Russia to the EU via Ukraine after the current contract expires at the end of this year, as negotiations over a new transit deal open.

Rather than having to download an app as before, Edge users on Android and Apple devices can now just click one button to enable its “green-red rating signal if a website is trying to get it right or instead has a hidden agenda or knowingly publishes falsehoods or propaganda.”
