Fediverse vs Disinformation

2367 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.

In this News Brief, we detail recent "updates," "clarifications" and "added context" pro-Israel crybullies have pressured Western media outlets to make (some more willingly than others) that give readers the distinct impression emaciated children in Gaza aren't really an urgent humanitarian crisis if they have rickets, cancer, or cerebral palsy. With guest Beatrice Adler-Bolton.

Do any of these conditions cause children to appear extremely emaciated under normal circumstances?

Western values state that you should not, under any circumstances, feed children with health conditions

The weak should not be coddled, or they will continue to be weak. Do you like children to starve and eie horribly? Because feeding starving children is how you get children to die horribly.

Really this whole situation could have been prevented if you had just not made them weak with all those free calories.

Well no but see its complicated. You wouldn't understand.
