Fediverse vs Disinformation

1783 readers
1 users here now

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.

The push to recognize a Palestinian state creates the illusion of action, but delays the real remedies: sanctioning and isolating Israel's apartheid regime.

Let us not waste another 30 years of Palestinian lives on the partition paradigm — a colonial “solution” to a colonial problem. Israel has long made clear it will never accept a Palestinian state; clinging to the two-state solution is gaslighting on an extraordinary scale, and it has brought us only despair.

Recognizing Israel as an apartheid state is the necessary first step toward a future beyond ethnonationalism, rooted in equality, justice, and freedom for all. And it is not symbolic; apartheid is a crime against humanity under international law.

I was born a refugee, my grandmother’s family from Kfar Sabt, my grandfather’s family from the nearby village of Lubya. Today, from my home in Ramallah, I wake each morning to the sight of an Israeli flag in the nearby settlement Beit El, a clear reminder of the apartheid regime that dictates every aspect of my life.

The Jewish Israelis who live there cast their votes for a government that determines where I can live, work, and travel, how much water I receive, and which set of rules and laws apply to me, and which do not. Like millions of Palestinians, from the West Bank to Gaza, I’m ruled by a system that sees me only as an obstacle in the way of its expansionist ethnostate.
