So, I came across something interesting. Not connected to #ReleaseTheMemo but a good lesson on knowing who you are reading when out on the net. I love IT. I build computers as a hobby, and love tech sites. [H]ardOCP is the gold standard. But I like rumors sites too. (1)
One I like to go to for AMD news and rumors is WCCFTech. However, I have noticed that one of their "journalists", RAFIA SHAIKH, has been pumping out any political article she can even if it had the loosest ties to tech. (2)
The articles are riddled with errors, lies, & unsubstantiated claims. So today, I got curious and looked up her LinkedIn profile to see where she's worked. Digital Rights Foundation, run by a Pakistani lawyer. She also speaks Urdu and Sindhi, 2 of Pakistan's native languages (3)
Hmm, let me see. Has Pakistan an axe to grind with President Trump? Anyone who follows @ThomasWictor knows the answer to that. So be careful what you read folks. Even in places supposedly non-political, you may find yourself reading propaganda and not even realizing it. (4)
