Disinformation is a tool that only is used in service of oppression and conflicts, throughout history. There is literally no other reason for its existence. That is why I always took “fake news” so seriously and why I have been so forthright and confrontational pushing back.
Where is disinformation thickest on the ground? What happens next? Cui bono? Ask yourselves that now, today, before you can’t anymore.
Even the most innocent-seeming “junk news” plays into a specific narrative over time.
