Last month, YouTube announced that it would change its algorithms to stop recommending so many conspiracy theory videos. Meanwhile, the NGO OpenAI decided that it would not release its “deepfakes for text” tool because its researchers feared misuse. And the release on Monday of the UK parliament’s DCMS select committee report demonstrates just how seriously the problems are being taken. But solutions to these problems need to be identified. Policies should require greater algorithmic transparency and accountability from tech firms in order to protect future elections. Instead of focusing exclusively on the removal of extreme content and accounts, it will be necessary to regulate against harmful infrastructures and malicious behaviours. As early adopters of new technologies, extremists will otherwise continue to exploit the latest innovations of cyberspace.

Stupid. Without conspiracy theorists, cyber space would be a ghost town.

The Guardian, like the WP and the NYT and the networks, once again lamenting the loss of their role as the arbiter of what is and isn't to be known or believed by the masses.

I'm smarter than the editorial board of The Guardian and will determine, on my own, the veracity of individual items in the mountains of crap put out by both crazy websites and mainstream media outlets.

Just last week, the Guardian had a long, non-critical interview airing the ludicrous conspiracy theory Jesse shares with the Guardian:

Trump’s bigoted rhetoric and agenda have emboldened bigots and set the table for such incidents. “Hate and violence are raining down on our country,” Jackson said. “The rain is falling from the top.” Other prominent activists and celebrities, including the actress Ellen Page, have drawn similar connections between Trump and incidents like the one on Smollett...

“there is a plot to replace white English natives with Muslim migrants and that the authorities are covering up immigration numbers are among the most commonly held. “

Coudenhove-Kalergi plan anyone?

There are some plausible conspiracy theories, and there are some ridiculous ones. It seems that the majority of the left leaning mainstream media are hell bent on destroying all alternative media, and that in itself should make people realise the importance of independent and alternative media in exposing the lies continually perpetuated by these scumbags.

The Guardian recently lied about the Covington kids. They lied about Assange meeting Paul Manafort in the Ecuadorian embassy. They recently ran an article written by George Soros bemoaning the decline of the European union and the rise of nationalism in Europe.

Aw, you can find a better attack than that!

Pick a Network – Any Network. Search ‘Qanon’

Now, you want something a little harder to do?

Find an Enemedia article that tells what Q is about that is not an attack.

Methinks they protest too much.

This article is even more information warfare against white, british people. I have been to london. There is an active intent to replace white british people with dark skinned muslims. In is not some false, conspiracy theory. Just go to Luton and you will see the end result of purposeful, islamic friendly government immigration policies.
