Yuliia Dukach, OpenMinds: How Russia Uses Social Media for Propaganda and Disinformation Against Ukrainians

https://peertube.eqver.se/w/4ewpvUBnMX5oVmf23YgZ3a

I have been informed that discussing #Biden's #age is an "information operation."

It is not an "information operation" to state that the two major party #candidates are both the oldest people to run for #President, just like they were the last time they ran.

It is not an #InformationOperation to talk about how the two party system had destroyed #American #government.

It is not an "information operation" to expect candidates to make the case to #voters as to why they should have to job.

#Gerontocracy is a real thing and it IS destroying this country because of rabidly #partisan #hacks have made it impossible to have a serious discussion about #electing the county dog catcher.

Listening to this right now.

One way you know #Mastodon is hitting the big time: We get bots.

#InformationOperation traits:

1. has nothing but bland feel-good content.

2. an unusually high number of followers and follows for such blah.

3. Profile pics could be two similar people or could be computer generated.

4. Name is phonetically similar to a common name.

Just be aware; if you choose to follow make a note.
