Gasp! Politico has uncovered a corner of the Web that as of yet remains uncensored and thus allows unapproved messages to reach people. This is simply intolerable, at least from the Politico POV as presented by their tech policy reporter Rebecca Kern on Friday in "WhatsApp Channels, used by millions, has no clear election rules." Yes, we humble prols need rules, rules, RULES to guide us on how to think and to steer us away from dangerous ThoughtCrimes in this election year.

"If I'm being honest...This type of approach was common practice in the USSR.".. On April 22, 2021, the Aspen Institute â an influential civil society group that draws funding from several federal agencies and in recent years has become an odd hodge-podge of boutique-left ideas and hardcore security-state rhetoric â announced that a âCommission on Information Disorderâ would be preparing a major report, one that: Aims to identify and prioritize the most critical sources and causes of information disorder and deliver a set of short-term actions and longer-term goals to help government, the private sector, and civil society respond to...

âMisinformationâ â It has been one of the most-used buzzwords of the past few years. The âmisinformationâ label has been applied by advocates on both sides of the political divide in the attempt to discredit their opponents. Numerous assertions that have dominated the news cycle for months or even years have ultimately proven to be completely false, that is, âmisinformation.â Examples of such assertions that have been established as âmisinformationâ include the assertion that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election; the assertion that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian plant; and the assertion that the Covid...

When Hunter Biden's laptop, with all its crazy photographs and incriminating emails, came to light before the 2020 presidential election, the media colluded to ignore the story completely, dubbing the laptop Russian disinformation. If you dared to speak of it on social media, you were lucky if your posts would just be suppressed or censored instead of having your account disabled. The laptop was, of course, completely genuine, and the mainstream media conveniently (and quietly) only admitted so after the election.Another incriminating Biden family artifact that was made public during the campaign was the Ashley Biden diary, which, like the...

New data on Gazan fatalities cited by UN agency also separates âidentifiedâ deaths in hospitals from some 10,000 alleged deaths based on Hamas âmedia sourcesâ In a dramatic development, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has sharply revised downward the number of âidentifiedâ female and child fatalities in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The data now differentiates between the total number of deaths reported by Hamas (over 34,000) and the number of âidentifiedâ fatalities (over 24,000). The new figures reported by OCHA reduce by more than half the number of women and children that it previously...

"When the Biden administration told the American people that the vacc*nated couldn't get the virus, was it MISINFORMATION or DISINFORMATION?" NO ANSWER. "When the Biden administration told the American people that the virus didn't come from a lab was that MISINFORMATION or DISINFORMATION?" NO ANSWER. "When the Biden administration said that *MASKS WORK* was that MISINFORMATION or DISINFORMATION?" NO ANSWER. These were the "EXPERTS" who silenced millions of Americans during the Cov*d pandemic. But it turns out the "EXPERTS" were the biggest peddlers of misinformation and disinformation . This was FRAUD on a massive scale and people MUST be held...

A new study from a liberal law school claims that global warming, also known as âclimate change,â has a greater impact on LGBT couples than on normal couples. As reported by Fox News, the study from the UCLA School of Law claims that âsame-sex couples are more likely to reside in communities with poorer infrastructure and less access to resources. They are, therefore, less prepared to respond and adapt to natural hazards and other climate disruptions.â The report, authored by analyst Lindsay Mahowald and senior fellow Ari Shaw, goes on to claim that the solution to this âproblemâ is for...

Scientific American has published a piece claiming that âmisinformation,â such as the notion that there are only two sexes, is âbeing used against transgender peopleâ and in order to target âgender-affirming medical care.âThe article states that there are three types of âmisinformation,â and they are âoversimplifying scientific knowledge, fabricating and misinterpreting research, and promoting false equivalences.âThree types of misinformation are being used against transgender people: oversimplifying scientific knowledge, fabricating and misinterpreting research, and promoting false equivalences. https://t.co/1AOp6Bk6A2 â Scientific American (@sciam) April 20, 2024The piece asserts that âMany of the arguments against trans rights center on the idea that transness...

If someone says, âTrust the science!â these days, itâs usually an effort to short-circuit debate over weighty policy issues. âTrust the scienceâ has been deployed in the past five years to prevent debate over COVID school closures and mask mandates, over electric-car subsidies, and over sex changes for boys and girls. For my entire time in Washington, though, âtrust the scienceâ has been used to oppose a missile defense system for the United States. For my first 20 years as a journalist, I was told that a missile defense system simply cannot work and that anyone who disagreed was a...

As Israel has continued its bombardment of the Gaza Strip, its restrictions on journalists' access to the region have drawn scrutiny. New data released Thursday suggests Israel's tactics are fueling an "information war" with perverse incentives for hate-mongers and conspiracy theorists. The Committee to Protect Journalists' preliminary estimate counts 95 journalists and media workers who have been killed in Gaza since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and the vast majority of those journalists are Palestinian. At the same time, Israel's decision to prevent international journalists from entering has enraged activists and the Foreign Press Association. The Israeli Supreme Court...

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the entire story of President Biden declaring March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, the âTransgender Day of Visibilityâ is âmisinformation.â âFor folks who understand the calendar and how it works, Easter falls on different Sundays every year and this year, it happened to coincide with Transgender Visibility Day,â Karine Jean-Pierre began, deeming the entire story line âmisinformationâ which she asserts was done âon purpose.â

The media and other Democrats know that Joe Biden and his policies are unpopular, so for the last eight years, theyâve sought to destroy Donald Trump, no matter how much they have to intentionally lie and mislead the public, and this latest iteration is beyond absurd.While speaking at a recent campaign rally, Trump said there would be a âbloodbathâ in the auto industry if China flooded the American market with cheap electric vehicles flowing through Mexicoâbut instead of showing the full quote, much of the media, along with Biden campaign workers and Democrats like Pelosi, decided that with polls as...

The U.K. has a new Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Tech and the Digital Economy, Conservative MP Saqib Bhatti, and the politician seems very enthusiastic when talking about things like âcooperationâ with Big Tech, particularly in terms of elections. Thatâs because, critics will say, those in power want to absolutely control the conversation, what can and canât be said online, and thus directly influence the vote; whereas those in power say, itâs all just a perfectly benevolent effort to make sure misinformation plays no part in the campaign.

When U.S. news outlets' lucrative peddling of Chinese propaganda was exposed in 2019 and 2020, it was a scandal. Human rights groups condemned the practice, and the New York Times and Wall Street Journal swore off Chinese Communist Party money. In the years since, however, a number of major U.S. newspapers and magazines have kept at itâaccepting hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party in exchange for publishing content by China Daily, a state-owned English-language paper. China Daily's Foreign Agents Registration Act filings show that between October 2020 and October 2023, the CCP mouthpiece paid...

âWell over 300,000 Americans are in graveyards today because of the misinformation, the doubt, the suspicion, the distrust that caused them to say that vaccine is not safe for me. And it continues,â Dr. Francis Collins, the former head of the National Institutes of Health said in September 2022, citing a KFF estimate.Disinformation not only continues but itâs getting worse. Public trust is declining due to social media, and increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI). As the COVID-19 pandemic showed, distrust can lead to preventable deaths.Confidence continues to declineLast month, the Florida Surgeon General called for a halt to COVID-19 vaccines, saying...

Welcome to the UK where itâs now official government policy that you CANâT publish âmisinformationâ, but The Guardian, the BBC, Disney and Netflix CAN. Yes, itâs true â the recently signed âOnline Safety Actâ brands the publication of âfalse informationâ a criminal offense punishable by up to a year in prison⌠âŚunless youâre an MSM outlet, when itâs totally fine. Think even the corrupt & bloated criminal class that rules over us would never dare be that blatant?

Disinformation poses an unprecedented threat to democracy in the United States in 2024, according to researchers, technologists and political scientists. As the presidential election approaches, experts warn that a convergence of events at home and abroad, on traditional and social media â and amid an environment of rising authoritarianism, deep distrust, and political and social unrest â makes the dangers from propaganda, falsehoods and conspiracy theories more dire than ever. The U.S. presidential election comes during a historic year, with billions of people voting in other elections in more than 50 countries, including in Europe, India, Mexico and South Africa....
