No you’re not. You’re an app. But not a news app. Some people post their news on you, while others post unverified and compacted bullshit. It’s like calling a running sewer the number one source of premium content in the city.

Yet another strategy by extremist billionaires to control the conversation and drive politics their way.

Many people in the UK won’t know what the ECHR is or what it does but the sinister, privately educated psychopaths advocating to leave definitely do and they know precisely how they’d financially exploit leaving and they’re the LAST people you want to surrender your rights to.

🧵I’ve read through the evidence section—the first 85 pages—of Jack Smith filing on Trump’s private criminal efforts to stay in power despite knowing that he’d lost the election.
The evidence is stunning. It’s clear why Trump did not want the public to see this testimony.
13 things jumped out to me on Trump’s attempt to defraud the American people and steal the 2020 election.

People studying misinformation lean left for two reasons:
1. scientists lean left, regardless of specialty, because they care about facts.
2. misinformation today primarily comes from the Right ("they're eating the dawwwgs!") which makes it worth studying and fighting against for people leaning left.
“Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party.”
— O'Brien (1984 by George Orwell)
Misinformation experts largely lean in a single direction politically. This skew can, will, and does impact which information is deemed legitimate or not.

Agreed, truth shouldn’t be suppressed. Which is why it’s best not to dump it in a landfill site, pour over it a slurry of half-truths, misinformation, insults, blatant lies, random speculation and conspiracy, and then above that stinking mess type the word ‘True.’

Twitter’s full of people trumpeting near zero understanding of English law or of the convictions in respect of the violence of the last 10 days or so.
Nor does the US 1st Amendment mean what many (often Americans) seem to think.
Frustrated? Maybe this will be some use.

We need to have some clarity about the causes of the rioting over the past few days.
A 🧵about the rioters, the instigators (two fairly distinct groups of people), and the processes leading to the current unrest. 1/21

Disclaimer: I am on this site because it is expected of UK MPs, however to be clear, the owner of the platform El0n Mu$k isn't fit to run a village fete raffle, never mind an international social media platform. An awful human being.

I'm sure you know this by now. Others have mentioned it.
Germans voted in 1933. They did not keep Hitler out of power. They did not have the chance to vote again until 1949, after Hitler and 20 million other people had died.
Defeat Trump.
