Fediverse vs Disinformation

469 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.

it's not though? if we're talking about their emotional or even academic performance, sure I'd say it might be a bit of a stretch as your brain continues development well into your mid-late 20s but yeah why not, it's pretty innocuous.

but when the topic is getting paid for sex...you still wanna call them young adults? why not 16 y/o as well? 15 is only two years away, that's a young adult too, no?

fuck outta here with that shit. she's under 18, she's legally a child. there is nothing disingenuous about that, it's literally the law.
