Comment on France uncovers a vast Russian disinformation campaign in Europe
wewbull@feddit.uk 9 months agoIf you see memes & misinfo trend about immigration, Ukraine, drugs, vaccines, climate change, abortion, gas & oil, politics, NATO, EVs, MAGA, Palestine / Israel, dissidents etc. then invariably there is a bad actor driving that crap.
The thing is, there’s a lot of stuff in those topics you list that we need to have social discourse about and there are legitimate differences of opinion on. I don’t think you can write anything that is against what somebody/government deems as “approved fact” as a bad actor. This is what makes it all so hard.

Yes you can have a social discourse. What I mean is somebody took time to turn some disinfo in meme form and amplify it. This is inauthentic actors poisoning discussions with lies and division.
