Good morning, no one has learned a fucking thing in the last five years theinformation.com/articles/googl…
no, Google, we do not trust you to curate our news. Please stop doing this bullshit and FUND JOURNALISM, and I don't mean fucking grants. Quit making us beg for the money that is ours by right. We made that money. Fund it it free and clear, no strings attached
This story is an excellent example of why I am saying what I am saying

I went to bed pissed off about this and woke up to this story so I guess I've already set today's theme for myself
In case you missed why I am went to bed pissed off, this is the story that did it. Do you really trust the entity that only now is demonetizing the sort of bullshit we nearly killed ourselves fighting over the last five years? this is a huge security risk techcrunch.com/2021/10/07/goo…

This story presents the central issue as an aberration. If you consider that perhaps was always the goal of weaponized disinformation campaigns like QAnon -- stochastic terrorism, which it is -- his behavior should make more sense. rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
There is still a lot of denial about what QAnon actually has been and a lot of searching for the "smoking gun" of who was behind it. That's a waste of time. What's so useful about QAnon to disinfo purveyors is that it's essentially an open source process. You can see exactly what
motivates people into stochastic terrorism -- because they're writing it themselves. They're A/B testing their own way into hideous acts.

Just doing my Sunday morning reading (yes) and found this excellent disambiguation. The USA needs debunkers and mostly has fact-checkers. That's why it isn't working and why my own methods seem worthy of comment -- they just don't know any better. stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfile… Image
We at @erumors are debunkers rather than fact-checkers. We deal in debunking dangerous and weaponized disinformation, not fake news. Some of the stories we choose to focus on may seem innocuous, but those reveal important patterns about how disinfo digs into a population's minds.
You'd think that certain social media platforms would know about this research and readjust their priorities accordingly. Unless..............

I've watched astrology forums for ages because I suspect there's disinfo being slipped in there to push people (who are often reading horoscopes out of uncertainty about their future) toward specific self-perceptions
This is the problem with debunking and fact-checking as it stands; no one is haunting the places the truly destructive disinformation is being pushed and they act like it's weird that I do so. But don't you think this would destroy someone whose self-image is fragile, make them
manipulable? And doesn't the astrological world have a good bit of crossover with the "wellness" world? Imagine someone has lost someone they love, lost their faith, started trawling astro forums for answers. Be easy to "nudge" people like that into crackpot shit

Google and YouTube were monetizing climate disinfo thehill.com/policy/technol…
All these assholes love to talk out of boths sides of their mouth on this. They'll throw money at shiny "fact-checking conferences" that are essentially a bunch of pompous blowhards farting out the most boring bullshit imaginable as everyone applauds -- as they allow this shit.
How can you pretend you value freedom of speech when you allow people who actually have important things to say to be drowned out by known disinformation purveyors?

FYI #PfizerLeaks is Project Veritas disinfo, so it is obviously going to be poorly edited without credibility in case anyone needs to know
Eric, you thirsty dingus
