But compared to network TV news, CNN etc, the Internet is the pillar of truth.
How much of TV advertising is fake? Turns out a lot of it actually- yet we survived as a society just fine- most everyone learns to weed through the hype- Fake Internet crap isn’t going to destroy humanity- only the most gullible will fall for the crap- just like the most gullible will fall for TV ads- don’t see the left all up in arms over TV ads
That's been true for a very long time. Politicians are, for the most part, serial liars.
That's not the type of fake he's talking about, though. TV advertising might be mostly falsehoods, but the products being advertised really exist.
He's talking about internet traffic from people who don't exist. How do you know I'm not a 'bot? Do you know I'm not a 'bot?
Claims made for products may be fake, but TV advertising is expensive, so most likely there actually is a product and a company behind it, and in most cases, the company will still be around next week. Producing internet content is cheaper, so the possibilities for fraud are greater.
now lets do an article on how fake the polls are...……………..
[[How do you know I’m not a ‘bot? Do you know I’m not a ‘bot?]]
The real question is, do i care if someone is a bot or not? Nope- I’m secure enough in my beliefs and opinions that what someone on the Internet says isn’t going to affect me one way or the other- some foreign fake site is NOT going to convince me republicans are evil and democrats are saints- I’ve seen evidence to the contrary all my life- only gullible people are going to be too insecure in their beliefs that they will fall for such nonsense-
Liberals don’t want ‘fake sites’ because they don’t want people question liberal ideology- ever- so they are attempting to ‘crack down on dangerous fake sites’- and i ask “What is dangerous about them?” Nothing- We’re inundated with fake stuff all the time- and we survive as a people just fine-
So what if someone is a bot? Really, what’s the problem?
But compared to network TV news, CNN etc, the Internet is the pillar of truth.
HEAR! HEAR!
Bears Repeating!
[[Producing internet content is cheaper, so the possibilities for fraud are greater.]]
Buyer beware- plain and simple- the reason libs are ‘cracking down’ on foreign sites with their ‘fake news’ is because they are afraid of losing supporters to he lib cause- they don’t give a crap about people being defrauded financially- their only concern is being moving away fro m the lib party as a result of ‘Internet fraud’- They would be absolutely fine if ALL the folks reading fake sites moved away from republican party- and they would be screaming about ‘free speech’ then- but because fake sites moved some folks away from hillary- all of a sudden free speech isn’t valid anymore?
TV episodes that have been mirror-flipped to avoid copyright takedowns
That’s a common technique to try and fool copyright detection algorithms: image manipulation (by flipping the footage) or audio manipulation (by shifting the pitch or tempo, as an example).
I don’t believe a copyright detection algorithm should have any problem identifying a flipped image.
How much of MSNBCABCCBSCNNNYPOSTTIMESETC is fake? Turns out, most of it.
Liberals also define sites presenting opposing views as “fake.”
And nothing about the Fake News operation in Portland,OR funded by Oregon NBA players.
Its been there since 2006.
I found it by accident in 2010 until they improved their security.
i know- they like to project a lot
Wow, this sounds serious. The Government clearly needs to regulate internet content. /s
Many articles posted on websites are written by “content writers” (such as work for Textbroker).
Thousands of articles found online with “expert” advice (5 Top Restaurants in Chicago, How To Treat Heel Pain, Best Patio Gardening Tips, etc.) are written not by people who actually know. The articles are written by people sitting in their living rooms doing Goggle searches on the particular topic, who then compose an article to be submitted and accepted by Textbroker or whatever site employs them.
It’s shocking that thousands (millions?) of articles that sound so authoritative and knowledgeable online are most likely written by content writers. At least it was shocking to me when I found out about it.
