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.

While peace talks may eventually silence the guns, the Kremlin disinformation apparatus is already drafting and pushing narratives to fracture post-war Ukraine.

As we mark three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the real possibility of peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia is on the horizon. Not surprisingly, the Kremlin’s disinformation apparatus is already laying the groundwork for its next campaign to skew public perceptions in Russia’s favour.

Drawing on patterns that we have identified through almost a decade of monitoring pro-Kremlin outlets and exposing their bile, we have identified some of the likely narratives and information manipulation operations the Kremlin will deploy in an attempt to undermine Ukraine’s post-war sovereignty.

All of the above is fair, but ending it with quoting Jeffrey Sachs, the asshole responsible for shock therapy (though not the administration, thanks Harvard and Larry Summers), is just as bad.
