    @ThinkBeforeYouPost@lemmy.world You were asking about a deep dive into this topic – I was highly recommending [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbJSgan4mfQ](this Patrick Boyle video) as an overview before the whole thread got nuked and that comment deleted.

    (The article’s now been deleted after a report. !news@lemmy.world is somewhat on top of deleting disinformation, I guess, then, which I think is a good thing.)

      Wikipedia has New York Post listed as tabloid. Maybe not everyone knows ?

        It was alternet.org reporting on an NYPost interview (while identifying it as such), and then Lemmy people reading that article from alternet and not seeing anything weird about it I guess. Seems pretty naive by both parties but that’s what happened.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.
