More disinformation runs through Twitter via disinformation mules than should ever be allowed on all subjects.
I, like most Americans with a conscience, am still reeling traumatized at the most recent senseless tragedy, which many are weaponizing for their own purposes. Take Candace Owens as an example. She ran with a lie attributed first to 4Chan and cycled up to the mainstream rightwing echo chamber rapidly that it is hard to know exactly which podcast or media Candace got her attack from before dropping the lie on Twitter.
Conspirator0, who did ban myself, Jim Stewartson and Rebekah Jones for profit and political reasons, even called this one out, trying to get off a mass reporting strike that rarely works these days. Here is the original offensive tweet.
And those two were not the only ones, this bigoted disinformation mule pushed.
And here is WHY Owens said and used this Republican line of attack again, showing it is yet another planned and repeated psychological attack from the right.
If Twitter did work, and wasn’t weaponized against normal non-authoritarian loving people, Candace would have had a suspension and had to remove the tweet. But just like Jan Bobrowicz, she is allowed to regurgitate and double down with mal-information, designed to gaslight, humiliate and harm.
Twitter supports abuse, amplifies and spreads it.
And crime too.
Twitter platforming GamerGate star/host and Philippine fugitive is no cherub having been involved with 8Chan up until Jim Watkins stopped paying him in 2019.
I can see why Jim stopped paying Fred.
Brennan, after his platform he moderated but no longer technically owned, hosted the live-streamed mass shooting in El Paso, called for his own job to be eliminated. I am not excusing Jim or Ron here. I am merely pointing out that Fred’s war with the Watkins likely started over this. I agree with Brennan’s calls to shut it down. What I don’t agree with is that Fred left out his own responsibility for Q Anon, Gamer Gate, terrorizing women, Swatting and Child Porn up to that moment.
While yes, Fred’s stealing a book’s potential profits is a small crime comparatively with what he is alleged to have done in the past, it is still a crime that Twitter is fine with hosting just as Brennan was with all that activity he allowed on HateChan until shots were fired making him uncomfortable.
And lastly, this now locked account, that tried to fundraise lying about having a nephew at the school killed, and being followed by a Greg Abbott rep who then threatened him.
Not only has this account been used to bilk money for cancer, he has claimed to have a Purple Heart, and a second nephew deceased, yet Twitter Safety hasn’t banned his grift despite likely mass reporting of it.
Twitter Safety supports fraud too.
