...from quelling speech it doesn't like. It has nothing to do with private companies like Tik Tok or the corporation you work for. The AI generated slop/glurge that features real life public figures are part of this push of disinformation, and it goes hat-in-hand with the existence of a leader and an administration that incessantly lies. How can there be consensus when the average person can't discern what's true and what's not?
This is a continuum of a campaign started by the right-wing as far back as Reagan. This has involved the use of certain words to describe the left and its members, and went forward to use disinformation tactics like Gish-gallop and false equivalency when it's inconvertibly shown the speaker is lying (i.e. "Both parties do it"
.
We're now in a situation where the left and the right are being bombarded with conspiracy theories and AI slop, and the falsehoods are being embraced by huge numbers by those on each side. This is just another way in which this country is in incredible danger, and the self-interest of the politicians, tech and media companies, and even the individuals who somehow profit in the smallest ways from this will do nothing to shut this stuff down.
