After seeing promising results in Eastern Europe, Google will initiate a new campaign in Germany that aims to make people more resilient to the corrosive effects of online misinformation.

The tech giant plans to release a series of short videos highlighting the techniques common to many misleading claims. The videos will appear as advertisements on platforms like Facebook, YouTube or TikTok in Germany. A similar campaign in India is also in the works.

Hello NYC residents.

If the Democrats running this place are your friends, why are the rents so high?

Yes. Google is misinformation.

The question is, why?

Are the managers and owners of Google full-on Marxists? Or have they merely been brainwashed into believing the Woke Movement is a good cause.

Those techniques include fear-mongering, scapegoating, false comparisons, exaggeration and missing context. Whether the subject is COVID-19, mass shootings, immigration, climate change or elections, misleading claims often rely on one or more of these tricks to exploit emotions and short-circuit critical thinking.

A pretty fair description of Google, Facebook, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, most Newspapers and the entire Demonrat Party

We were trying to chat with Ms. Mask Nazi, who closed the restaurants in this town and put 30% of them out of business, but she ran away real fast.

The elites are just taking over and changing everything to suit their agenda. They are now determining what can and can’t be said or seen online, based only on their purely subjective opinions- they have deemed themselves the arbiters or “misinformation”. THey are truly the ones who gaslight and brainwash, and they crown themsleves the deciders of what misinformation is? What a joke!

"It's a poor sword that won't cut in both directions"

I wonder how pre-bunking will work against government and Leftist misinformation?

Paralipsis is often used to insert assertions into the non intellectual minds.
Dispel this.

Google, Fox, CNN, NYTs, NY Post, all the same. All controlled by the government/media conglomerate. They are wildly successful at this. “Some people develop symptoms, some do not. So: if it spreads and acts like a virus, then maybe we can figure out how to inoculate people.” FReeper casualties of this media onslaught attempt to inoculate dissenting people with the slander, “Putin stooge” or warnings “we must trust our DC Uniparty masters”. Since they got smart and changed Russia, Russia, Russia to Putin, Putin, Putin everything is coming up aces for the globalist liars.

Are you a retired California teacher?

Yes

Is legal equality important?

As long as my pension and health benefits are going to get reduced as a result.

If you don’t mind us asking....
