Right. I've deleted the tweet in which I said I'd deleted the tweet..& to be clear the whole Cambridge Analytica/Facebook story began with Google propagating anti-semitic hate & Nazi sites. Also, fyi, they've never given a good account of why..

We have no idea how long Google was serving up violent anti-semitic hate when people were searching for terms like "jews" & "holocaust" but it seems probable it was throughout 2016. Google refused to acknowledge it had a problem. And this was the beginning of this entire story..
The tech giants have played a crucial role in fanning flames of anti-semitism & racism. And still haven't been held to account. Google changed its algorithm - eventually - in response to this series of articles..but never explained how this had happened..

So, when I say disinformation plays a role in amplifying hate & stoking divisions this is what I mean. This is literally what led me down this rabbit hole. And Google & Facebook will still not acknowledge it. So please be clear where I am on this subject & why I think it matters
It was anti-semitism online that alerted me to these wider forces... And that's why what's happening now matters. Because it's leaked out. Off the web. Into real life. Permission has been given. Read this by @Freedland
