Fediverse vs Disinformation

550 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.

Also to be the vice president a person needs to meet the same citizenship requirements as president. Republicans would love to have a democratic vice president forced out of office for improper eligibility. The “dems want to replace Americans with immigrants” headlines would write themselves.

Waiting until now just slamming the racism button.

Exactly. Last paragraph rom the article:

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has also long amplified such "birther" conspiracy theories against Obama and even against Harris when she ran for the vice presidential seat in 2020.

He already tried this racist bullshit with Kamala 4 years ago. She’s been vetted and verified.

Asked and answered Donald, you weird rapey racist fuck.
