One just needs to look at Elon Musks personal page and his responses to things going on in the world to see what sort of a cesspit Twitter / X has become under his watch.
Oh don’t worry, they’re here on Reddit too. Brand new accounts or old accounts with a suspiciously long gap of inactivity suddenly spraying shite.
It’s not just the racism either, there are plenty of doomposts in this sub from brand new accounts, weaponising despair at the state of things. This will increase apathy in most people so they don’t vote for change.

The mods need to ban all twitter posts in the same way they ban links to tabloids.

Beware foreign-funded NGO’s calling for increased censorship – they are taking advantage of far-right/racist/fascist events to call for more of this – and in this article press Twitter to enhance their efforts at this.
Global Witness has, in the past, received funding from National Endowment for Democracy – i.e. literally a CIA offshoot – so they need to stay the fuck out of our domestic politics.
Foreign funding of racists/fascists, is perfectly complimentary with foreign funding for increased authoritarian powers.

What’s the disinformation though?
helphunting on
Subversion by external forces.
There is no cure, without undue restrictions, other than promoting trustworthy sources, verifying stories, promoting the positive, and calling out bullshit when you see it.

Russias long term goal is to stir up far right nationalists in Europe and they will use bot farms to spread this shite to the gullible and disillusioned.

Yeah it’s the Russians, hello wakey wakey.
Russia has been stoking a migrant crisis in Syria and funding and amplifying far right groups.
Prigozhin ascended in Putin’s hierarchy in part by setting up an industrial scale troll factory, whose main job is to spread disinformation at targetted individuals on social media.
Of course at the end of the day, it’s stoking up the moron bigot brigade who don’t need alot of encouragement and let’s be frank have no real jobs to be doing.
There’s a certain percentage of people in modern society who are irredeemable, incorrigible, insane.
Social media let’s them find each other and our Russian friends are happy to facilitate the introductions with their troll farms.

Twitter is a kip.
Those far right sheep will believe anything

Nobody wants to tackle the root of the cause.
