AINSLEY EARHARDT (FOX HOST): So the president implemented this Making D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force and in less than a week they've taken 100 violent criminals off the streets. I think it's great. I wouldn't mind seeing the National Guard, especially if it's in areas where there is a lot of crime. I mean, think about Times Square. There is a lot of crime there. We cover a lot of stories there. If they had National Guard troops in Times Square it would make me feel safer.

keep a list of everything said on stations like this. it’s all collaborative and meant to manufacture consent for more fascism. checkpoints. papers please. etc.

related reminder: you do NOT need to stop for unmarked vehicles trying to pull you over. call 911, report the attempted kidnapping. caveat: outcomes may vary based on skin color. :(

Fediverse vs Disinformation

1548 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.
