Pro-Trump groups have spent years building election denial networks that, combined with Big Tech’s hands-off approach and continued foreign interference, have created a toxic information ecosystem.

Election workers in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, are not destroying mail-in ballots cast for former President Donald Trump. The Department of Defense did not issue a directive last month giving US soldiers unprecedented authority to use lethal force against Trump supporters who riot if the former president loses next week. And no, 180,000 Amish people did not register to vote in Pennsylvania—given there are only 92,600 Amish living in the state, including minors. Ron DeSantis never said that Florida would not use Dominion Voting machines in next week’s election. And municipalities in California are not allowing noncitizens to vote in this year’s presidential elections.

These are just a small sample of the flood of voting-related disinformation narratives that are being seeded and spread on social media platforms like X, Instagram, and Facebook in the build up to November 5.

    X, Instagram, and Facebook

    Lots of Musk hate, not enough for the twat Fuckerberg, who was doing this long before Elon did. He’s just an emotionless robot so he’s capable of shutting the fuck up about it.

    Mark Zuckerberg is worse than Musk and if you’re still using Instagram or Facebook, you may as well be sharing right wing conspiracies on X.

    Stop giving these people money from the ads they pay for. Stop using their fucking services.
