Fediverse vs Disinformation

1716 readers
119 users here now

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Fox News’ Jesse Watters and Will Cain do a 180 on supporting the release of the Epstein files (www.mediamatters.org)

Before Donald Trump returned to the White House, Fox News hosts Jesse Watters and Will Cain vocally supported calls for the government to release files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, even calling out Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), who supposedly blocked access to Epstein's flight logs. However, in true Fox News fashion, Watters and Cain pivoted to dismissing the importance of Trump releasing the Epstein files after his administration reversed course on doing so.

Israeli Jews*

Quit trying to make it about the Jews, buddy.

Israeli Jews are doing the same thing to arabs that Nazis did to people in Europe including Jews.
