Yesterday ABC released an article detailing $6 billion in corrupt business dealings between trump's kids and the US government. 6 hours later this article was censored.

It has been removed from the front page, the reporter's page, and a direct link 404's. It has been completely removed from ABC's website. We are very lucky archive.is got there first.

The censorship of news sources is a major point of violence with this regime. Here is a recent article about ABC's ongoing problems with trump's personal censorship of their reporting.

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
