Fediverse vs Disinformation

314 readers

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.

Trump wasn't into war. He was into diplomacy.

He was the best, believe me. Everybody's saying it.

Nobody sent other countries better foreign AIDS than trump did.

Yes, because he's a sheltered, privileged, idiot. How the right thinks this guy has anything in common with the working class is beyond me.
