Again, the title literality states an equivalence: "The War on Disinformation Is a War on Dissent".
If you want to level some relevant criticism of the OP then you are better off with the "read the actual article and not just the title" line.
- username90 6y agoIt isn't, it states that THE war on disinformation, not any war on disinformation. You can see a similar headline here: > The War on Drugs Is a War on Racial Justice This article isn't saying that Drugs is Racial Justice. https://www.jstor.org/stable/40971924?seq=1 https://www.jstor.org/stable/40971924?seq=1

- tsimionescu 6y agoThe article is equivocating the war on disinformation with a war on dissent. That does NOT, in any way, mean that dissent and disinformation are the same thing. If I were to write an article saying "the war on terrorism is a war against us all", would that mean that I'm accusing everyone of terrorism? Or claiming that terrorism doesn't exist?
