“Graham and FitzGerald identified more than 1,200 X accounts that were spreading the false and disproven claim that Trump won the 2020 election during the debate and interview, as well as a sprawling bot network of 1,305 accounts. Conspiratorial content spread during the debate attracted more than 3m views.”

“Lies fuel racism ahead of Australia’s Indigenous vote,” a headline on the BBC this week read.
The BBC reported…a greater volume of disinformation than at the federal election, including claims the Voice would lead to non-Indigenous people being banned from sporting stadiums.
#FFS.
Reuters say “falsehoods are being pushed by campaigners who first grew audiences opposing COVID-19 lockdowns and only 4% of Facebook posts containing misinformation about the referendum were taken down within three weeks.”
Journalist Ronni Salt said “one anti-Voice campaigner posted material at an average rate of twice an hour since it was registered in October.
“Nobody normal tweets like this, not even the most bored Twitter user – unless they’re organised or paid,” she tweeted.
“Low-tech disinformation is doing the rounds, too. In Forster this week a letter is circulating saying “the Voice would cut the tax rate paid by Indigenous people in half and would lead to cities being renamed after Aboriginal figures.”
There are some seriously stupid people. This is why the LNP slashes funding for public schools and throws money at private ones.
