In reply to the discussion: a statement from black lives matter about the pro hamas tweets from blm chicago [View all]Roy Rolling
(7,727 posts)59. Failure
The fact BLM had to issue this statement is a Musk failure/feature of the blue check $8 grift.
Separately, why are we powerless to uncover the one individual who posted this fake screed? Seriously, the identity cant be uncovered?
Like a neer-do-well who buys an AR-15 to assuage his feelings of hating everyone, thats too much power in one individuals hands.
Its a major failure when someone makes money broadcasting false information anonymously with the help of a cooperative broadcaster like Elmos Twitter. His biggest ad revenue generator may have been from enabling this fake news tweet. The transparency is unleashing the misinformation krakens.

Kneejerking is something the Internet does well. It happens here all the time, too.

Good luck with that! The amount of knees being instantly jerked lately is a spectacle!

Excusing slaughter of innocents as something that Hamas "must do" isn't walking it back.

Apparently, it works for some who call themselves liberal/progressive.

The BLM Chicago Twitter account started in February 2015 was an 8-year long plot by Republicans...

I'm saying that the idea that the BLM Chicago account is run by Republicans is wrong.

Right around the time Russia was launching a massive disinformation operation to upend the election?

It will become increasingly hard with AI and all the RW hate out there to discern fact. Thanks DU
