Fediverse vs Disinformation
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.

No what aboutisms, but what about Obama tho?
Legit wondering if that makes it legal
No? Why would that make it legal?
You could argue jurisprudence, but that would mean there had to be an actual ruling in the past. There wasn't so it isn't relevant.
The whole argument is like a small child's defense of "He did it first!". This is the real grown-up world we are talking about, not some schoolground.
Well yes and no if you are pissed at trump for doing it you have to be equally pissed at Obama
And that would be what we call a what aboutism and false equivalency fallacy.
Go away troll
False equivalency huh?
How can you have a moral conversation or opinion about something when your morals are skewed to begin with and you won't recognize that.
