One of several good threads about this
Some jawdropping quotes:

“As internal documents reveal, Google sought to kill competition and has done so through an array of exclusionary tactics, including an unlawful agreement with Facebook, it's largest potential competitive threat, to manipulate advertising actions."
Facebook and Google agreed to “cooperate and assist each other in responding to any Antitrust Action, Data Protection Action, or any inquiry or investigation relating to the Agreement by any Governmental Authority... ”

So Captain Psyops did an interview on Sept 14 with an anti-vax priest, Father David Nix.

Just started listening but she’s an evangelical (was also raised orthodox) and was supposed to be on Tucker Carlson (unsure if that happened?)

Anti-mask, anti-vax, disrupting school board meetings etc etc

Jeez these guys are touchy tonight 🤷🏻‍♀️ Image

The self-described "anti-disinfo activist" quote-tweeted a janky blog with the headline "Are Your Republican Neighbors Planning On Killing You?"

He accused me of sea lioning and concern trolling about how he's spreading sensationalized misinformation. 🙄
Apparently 2 women who research misinformation saying a thing is misinformation are not enough evidence that said thing is misinformation.
