I'd like to recap a talk I gave last night about #propaganda@theuxcrunch. This will be a tour of the strategies, tactics, tools, and channels used by bad actors, trolls, and other assholes to spread hate, disinformation, and terror. I'll end with some ways to fix this shit too.
Before I get into detail though I'd like to give a shout out to the amazing @tashwillcocks for illustrating the big picture in one brilliant go. Ok… buckle up. This is going to be a bumpy ride.

Since people have been asking I thought I'd recap my #dystopia talk at @theuxcrunch from Thursday. The examples used are not what if scenarios. These all happened. #triggerwarning's apply. If you can make it thru to the end I have suggestions for how we can claw back some hope.
This is a quote you’ve all probably seen a million times. #Advertising & #techie shitheads love quoting it before they do trends porn. What they never seem to understand is how politically subversive the last bit is. B/c those wankers abuse it I swore I’d never use it.
