Fediverse vs Disinformation

136 readers

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.

Yet another week of the Kremlin trying to have its cake and eat it too has gone by. For Russia, there is no contradiction between nuclear sabre-rattling, calling for the total eradication of Ukraine, and deploying its diplomatic network to feign concern before global audiences about the peaceful settlement of war. It can comfortably call for bombing European capitals in the morning and complain about the ‘aggressive West’ by the afternoon. This type of almost schizophrenic dichotomy is the key characteristic of the Kremlin’s disinformation apparatus.
