What did old Malcolm X say about the media again? Something about the media’s purpose being to make you hate the oppressed and love the oppressor?
Oh so they want to spread truth about Israeli war crimes?
The commission asked Meta and TikTok to explain the measures they have taken to reduce the risk of spreading and amplifying terrorist and violent content, hate speech and disinformation.
No, it seems they want to pay service to Israeli war crimes…
From the river to the sea.
I once got a comment on lemmy world removed for “disinformation” because I said the Azov Battalion’s logo was based on a nazi symbol. Like they don’t give a shit about the truth they just want it as an excuse to push whatever hegemonic bullshit the american empire is on at the time.
EDIT: Proof
It is a Wolfsangel not a „literal swastika“, as you wrote. That only makes it a little better, though. Both symbols are clearly understood in this context as symbols of nazism today.
The only thing that makes it “a little better” (for the Nazis that is) is that it’s not widely recognized as a Nazi symbol by the general public just yet. Allowing them to essentially hide in plain sight :))))
If anything that sucks more because it lacks the explicitly that a standard swastika has.
It’s why I don’t feel even remotely bad calling lemmy world a nazi bar. The users are a mixed bag but the mods are outright fascists.
I know you’re playing devils advocate but I can’t pass up the opportunity to join in on the wikipedia game

The US government is already trying to pile on:
Disinformation, formerly known as information.
Screenshots of the game Arma 3 are not real photos. Some disinformation is simply disinformation.
The EU asks them to detail how they process and distinguish these fake news and to explain how they make their decisions. The EU did not demand that they change anything, yet. Your criticism is premature.
Pls elaborate when information is straight up not true
I’m not going to do that, because my point is more general, about a larger issue.
Remember the Disinformation Governance Board, which lasted all of four months, because it was all too obvious that it was the formation of a formalized censorship regime?
Global North governments are trying to make themselves the arbiters of what is true, and then suppress what they decree to be untrue.
Take a look at this report on the fediverse from the Atlantic Council, the premier Global North foreign policy think tank. They’re going to come for us, just like they came for the corporate social media platforms. Collective Security in a Federated World (full PDF report)
