New round of attacks to take attention away from real issues. 1. They blur the difference between censorship and disinformation. #Disinfo insidiously manipulates. 2. #FactsMatter An investment is not a company's valuation! Learn more before exposing your ignorance!
Censorship is a government's control to silence information it doesn't want in the public sphere. While it's been used liberally, in the constitution, only government has this power. And control like this is old world, because in age of social media, they flood with lies.
Disinformation is insidious mind control: no transparency, no accountability. Governments flood the public sphere with lies, making it impossible to distinguish fact from fiction. This was 1st series in 2016: rappler.com/nation/148007-…
This shows the gov'ts complicity in an early attack against VP @lenirobredo (a little inside politics for those outside, but you can clearly see how they blur the lines). Also profiles the content creators of 1st wave #disinfonetwork: rappler.com/newsbreak/inve…
This is where PH control of the disinformation network becomes clear (although it continues to deny, instead attacking through proxies): rappler.com/newsbreak/in-d…
This flashback story shows how those "bloggers" (sorry to my friends who are bloggers) took over PCOO, which also did a European caravan to "explain" my case: rappler.com/newsbreak/in-d… and cnnphilippines.com/news/2019/02/1…
Here's @facebook's March 2019 takedown of the disinformation network of the social media campaign manager of Duterte (and they name him): rappler.com/technology/new… That's 1 cycle proven with data & facts #FactsMatter
Here's @facebook's January 2019 takedown of a disinfo network (which also made lots of money) exposed by @rapplerdotcom 13 months earlier: rappler.com/technology/soc… It was the top shared "news" site by PCOO's social media head (Presidential Communications Operations Office)
We have done and will continue to expose how you are being insidiously manipulated and will continue to demand accountability. This is how the local disinfo networks connect to alt-right in Canada and Russian disinfo networks: rappler.com/newsbreak/inve… #DefendMediaFreedom
Anyone who defends the manipulation of the public sphere, who attacks rather than explains, is suspect. #FactsMatter
