Reminder that the US gives Israel more than $10 million dollars every day. So if you're in the US and wonder why you can't afford healthcare or education...it's because @dongzilla42069 posted that there is no genocide.
Fediverse vs Disinformation
Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Regime whores working for a foreign hostile state should have to register as foreign agents and have their content labeled as such.

They could conveniently print this right on the flags behind his desk in the Oval Office.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alluded to a cohort of Israel’s influencers. “We have to fight back. How do we fight back? Our influencers. I think you should also talk to them if you have a chance, to that community, they are very important.”
"Alluded" lol
It's like he doesn't fully understand the term "influencer" and that we all know what it means. I.e. "You should interact with our third-party state propaganda that, by name, is paid by us to influence you."
Idiot doesn't know he just said that.
But then again, influencers don't get paid to do what they do because of a lack of idiots...
