Even a majority of Dems smell a rat.

from https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/12/13/poll-66-of-likely-voters-support-investigation-of-social-media-sites/

The survey found that 66 percent of likely voters approve of GOP plans to investigate social media censorship, including 43 percent who “strongly approve.” Only 26 percent disapprove, including 13 percent who “strongly disapprove.”

While Republicans (86 percent) are more likely than Democrats (52 percent) to approve of investigation plans, a majority of voters from both parties are in agreement. Sixty-three percent of unaffiliated voters concur with Republican investigation plans.

Sorry, you lost any shred of plausible deniability at this point.

Caring does not mean anti, it just means not the right censorship. It’s fixed now because everybody who’s going to be censored deserves it.

Yes. That’s what they were talking about the FBI using a daisy chain of evidence. They would see that a leaked story wound up with the media. Then they would cite that story to support what they had made up.

So has anyone here subbed to Twitter Blue? I was just looking at it and thought it was interesting that the $11pm sub is a “limited time” offer. Either its a lame attempt at FOMO or they want to charge even more.

If it was $4.99 pm I could be tempted but no way would I pay more.

We care about it when government agencies get involved to save us from “misinformation”.

Is it not the greatest of ironies that in order to allegedly save us from misinformation the FBI and intelligence agencies spread the greatest of misinformation…the story that Russia was spreading misinformation through tech media?

Russia used every major social media platform to try to influence the 2016 US election, a report claims.

New research says YouTube, Tumblr, Instagram and PayPal - as well as Facebook and Twitter - were leveraged to spread propaganda.

The report, released today by the US Senate, exposes the scale of Russian disinformation efforts.

While Facebook and Twitter have previously disclosed Russian interference, little has been known about the use of other platforms.

The report suggests YouTube, Tumblr, PayPal and Google+ were all affected, with Russia adapting techniques from digital marketing to target audiences across multiple channels.

“It’s a whole family of social media sites,” says Philip N Howard, director of the Oxford Internet Institute. “We think the goal was to make the campaigns seem more legitimate.”

And the FBI was pushing this for 2020. It did not recur, possibly because Russia saw their games were up and doing nothing but creating bad publicity for them. The FBI had 80 people working on this and they just could not accept the truth, that it was not happening in 2020.

In March 2020, the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Brennan Center for Justice published a report indicating that Russia-linked social media accounts have been spreading Instagram posts calculated to sow division among American voters.[54][55] According to the report, Russian operatives were increasingly impersonating real political candidates and groups rather than creating fictional groups.[55] According to Twitter’s head of site integrity, Russian agents also attempted in 2018 to create the impression of more election interference than is actually happening to undermine confidence in the process.[56] Shortly thereafter, the New York Times reported that according to American intelligence officials Russian operatives have been stoking via private Facebook groups anger among African Americans, emphasizing allegations of police brutality in the United States, highlighting racism in the United States against African Americans, and promoting and pressuring hate groups, including white and black extremist groups, in order to create strife within American society, though American intelligence officials provided few details about the alleged operations.[57] A CNN investigation found that Russian efforts had partly been outsourced to troll farms in Ghana and Nigeria.[58] In May 2020, Twitter suspended 44 accounts that exhibited behavior plausibly, but not definitively, indicative of Russian election interference tactics, including association with a Ghana troll farm.[59]

And now we have seen how intel was spreading these lies about Russian interference. Read the notes from Twitter release 7. Journalists and media were writing about the Russian misinformation in Twitter, but Twitter itself said this was just not happening.
Are you going to believe the people who would definitely know, or the ones pushing the story?
Citing the lies that were being spread does not prove the lies.

You can no doubt cite that story from NBC that white supremacists were pretending to be antifa members advocating violence using fake Twitter accounts. But Twitter said that just did not happen. But you can believe the story anyway, if you want.
