what is misinformation?
- danrocks 4y agoIt’s when you disagree with me.
- pocket_cheese 4y agoI don't trust big tech to regulate truth, but let's not dismiss misinformation with such broad strokes. There are deliberate attempts by politically and monetarily motivated groups to spread objectively false propaganda. FUD/HODL to mislead investors, conspiracy theories to sway public opinion, pseudoscience to peddle ineffective medical treatments... The people doing this effectively aren't individuals disagreeing with mainstream discourse, they know exactly what they're doing.
