      It’s never going to happen but Social Media companies need to be held responsible for the misinformation posted on their platforms.

      Pretty sure there’s some shady Facebook profiles posting negative fake news stories about Nigel Farage also.

      We know it’s fake new because there is absolutely nothing positive about him as a human being.

      Social media really is poison.

      It’s ironic yhe amount of nonesense and misinformation peddled is always eaten up by those with no education.

      How everything they learned on school is a lie but what this random video with generic background music is secret knowledge “they” don’t want you to see.

      Facebook is a platform used to spread hate and propaganda.

      Politicians are in the pockets of US billionaires so nothing will happen

      I don’t know why I see people acting like political groups astroturfing on social media is some kind of unthinkable conspiracy theory. It’s an extremely cheap way to peddle your party and gives it an obvious sense of authenticity that coverage in the normal media doesn’t.

      I doubt it costs much to pay a couple of people in third world countries to post this kind of stuff for you while pretending to be Barry from Newcastle.

      Social media and tailored algorithms are responsible for the extreme modern political discourse between people. Reddit is a perfect example of a site where you constantly be exposed to one side of the spectrum slowly getting more and more extreme while opposition arguments are outright banned from spaces. It fuels discourse, makes people think they’re smarter than they are, demonises opponents that they’ll never ever meet because they’re stuck in places telling them they’re devil.

      An escaped north korean once thought if he touched a bible he’d be suddenly engulfed in flames. People start to believe insane things chronically online too.

      Cant trust the internet, can’t trust actual news sources, wonderful times!

      Platforms that cant deal with fake actors/profiles should be at least banned from allowing people to post any sort of “news” content, its wild to me anyone random can make these posts or even buy ads for their bs propaganda that people then read and believe in.. why are “news” on facebook anyway? Its clearly not their primary content yet it probably dominates in use these days since nobody uses facebook to post on a timeline for their friends anymore, its just a propaganda machine

      Yet we’re supposed to believe every negative comment about reform on reddit. I pray for democracy with how people are so unaware of bots in the age of AI

      I’ve never seen a positive news story about farage lol. Not suggesting it’s not happening, but shows how much of the online world/social media is in bubbles.

      The number of times I’ve seen that bullshit Question Time deepfake of Farage supposedly shouting across the table at a cowering Governor of the Bank of England is fucking ridiculous.

      Well there’s your first problem, believing anything you read on facebook.
