#misinfo — Public Fediverse posts

Meine ganz persönliche Etymologie des Begriffs „anstrengend” ist, dass er im Lauf der Jahrhunderte ein „m” und ein „n” eingebüßt hat und er ursprünglich von Frauen geprägt und mit einem Augenrollen begleitet wurde, um den Umgang mit Männern zu bezeichnen:

Another great NPR story.👆

Trump and republicans tried to kill America's only "not corporate owned" stations.

X rolled out location transparency to millions of users, only to pull key data within 24 hours because it was "not 100%" accurate. You cannot fight disinformation with bad data. Efficiency isn't just about shipping fast; it's about shipping code that doesn't immediately require a rollback.

🇬🇧🧑‍💻⛽️🔥 Close to the anniversary of the Southport misinformation spread and riots episode, I wrote about attempts made over the past year, by people in the same ecosystem, to gaslight and conspiracise a "vindication vibe" out of their utter humiliation, and the need for an "information battle station".

🔥🧌🧑‍💻🕵️ I wrote an update-summary post about the European anti-immigrant/-Muslim disinformation grift operations that I have been investigating on X, including recent events in Ireland and Wales, and connecting it to the misinformation-targeted riots across the UK last summer.

🧌🧑‍💻🇮🇪🔥 The European xenophobic grift X account I exposed as having been farmed+flipped was caught attempting to repeat an information void exploitation tactic to stoke anti-immigrant/-Muslim aggression in Ireland.
I was interviewed about this phenomenon for this RTÉ Clarity piece by Jack McCarron.
