Fediverse vs Disinformation

510 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.

What upsets me most is that our legal system is so corrupt and unfair. Biden is only acknowledging the reality of the situation.

I don’t like it, but assuming that Hunter would be treated fairly if he wasn’t pardoned is delusional. This was a no-win situation.
