This is not hard and you will NOT get fricken canceled if you just say you made a mistake and delete the misinfo.
If you WON'T say you made a mistake and delete the misinfo, you're done.

Folks, if you are in this situation where you posted something that was wrong, presumably inadvertently, there is really only one option: point out the error, take responsibility, delete the post.

Misinfo: bad information.
Disinfo: bad information circulated in order to bring about specific goals (the "d" is for "deliberate," I like to say)
Counter misinfo: fact-checking
Counter disinfo: debunking; is highly public, often confrontational, can appear very partisan, and makes you sound nuts

Gestures vaguely at @brooklynmarie.bsky.social to beg for another breakdown of misinformation vs disinformation and the 'counter' versions of each. I want to make an info graphic of this. Feels like a 4 circle venn though 😮💨
This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

After 2016, tech cos were under intense pressure to combat misinfo. Now, that pressure has shifted to avoiding claims of being biased against conservatives. This is stifling action against misinfo and unfairly punishing misinfo researchers like @noupside.bsky.social

Recently re-watched the John Oliver piece on misinformation, and the part about "Meta spent ~10X as much effort and money tamping down English-language misinfo as they did Spanish-language misinfo" feels to me like it may have explained a lot about voting patterns in the last election.

Misinfo from NFL star Aaron Rodgers, shared with millions by College Game Day co-host Pat McAfee adds to what is already a deadly tally of Republicans who believe vaccine misinfo and lost their lives to it. thecycle.substack.com/p/grandpa-ro...

Aaron Rodgers can lie all he wants. The mortality data can’t.

“His vilification and misinfo turned them into targets”
Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...
A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr.
CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials.
I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds.
Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

This is incredibly bad. Misinfo propaganda from the SSA on behalf of the regime.
Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.
Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.
It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!
