Fediverse vs Disinformation

1725 readers

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.

So basically Bibi's paying Google their fines, and Google is fine genociding Brown people in Asia, because it makes them money, and 🇺🇲s love it, since they keep letting it happen.

Temporarily embarrassed genociders (Maoists).

Vile. Expected, but vile.
