Fediverse vs Disinformation
1467 readers

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

So either multiple people with PhDs that have written extensively on the subject are correct and you didn't comprehend their point, or you, who failed to comprehend even the wiki page on Liberalism, know more.
It's pretty obvious which is the case when you read through the article, even more so when you read when laissez faire is mentioned multiple times.
I have you tagged as a Zionist from previous conversations, you got no say on the concept of human rights when you've repeatedly defended that type of fascism in the past.
