Fighting disinformation – 3FEB2021
Reader,
As we speak, right-wing operatives with millions of followers on social media are spreading flat-out lies and misleading information about Alexandria. But with your help, we can force Twitter and Facebook to take action and enforce their own rules.
What’s so frustrating about these attacks is that, once the truth comes out, so few people get to hear it. Hundreds of thousands, or potentially millions, of people will have already seen already seen or shared the misleading tweets or fake news articles.
We need your help, Reader. Here’s what you can do — to help us combat this campaign of disinformation and others in the future:
- Scan your social media to find posts with this misleading information, especially those using the trending hashtag. Don’t tweet any hashtags yourself, because we don’t want to spread them further!
- Identify any posts that are threatening or harassing and use the built-in report features to flag them for moderators. Facebook and Twitter both have built in tools for reporting posts and tweets that break the rules.
The sad thing is that a lot of damage has already been done. People have already been misled and radicalized. They believe the lies to a point where their hatred could someday boil over into violence. This is exactly what led to thousands of enraged rioters storming the Capitol building on January 6th.
But we can do something about it. We can help set the record straight when people spread falsehoods. We can keep calling out the Photoshopped tweets, fake news articles, and misleading posts when we see them.
So, if you can, help us scan social media tonight and report those spreading this disinformation campaign.
Thank you for all you do,
Team AOC
