Vaccine disinformation in the US

lundi 17 mai 2021 à 02:00

Most vaccine disinformation in the US comes from 12 saboteurs.

Although their bullshit is likely to kill people, I do not like the idea of censoring it, because the systems of censorship will be used against other targets — perhaps including, some day, people who question Trump's proclaimed victory in the 2020 election.

It would be much better to force companies to drop the business model that promotes postings based on how much "engagement" they provoke.

*Jacinda Ardern calls for ‘ethical algorithms’ to help stop online radicalization.*

Whether it's white supremacism or radical Islamism, anti-vax or QAnonsense, I suspect that "social" media promote them all in the same way.

(satire) Aeolus's bag of wind

lundi 17 mai 2021 à 02:00

(satire) *Biden Outlines Renewable Energy Plan To Invade Mt. Olympus And Steal Aeolus’s Bag Of Wind.*

It should be "Aeolus's" because the "s" in "Aeolus" is not a plural suffix.

Texas abortion law

lundi 17 mai 2021 à 02:00

A proposed Texas law would authorize anyone whatsoever to sue anyone who helps anyone to get an abortion. The target could be bankrupted by one 10,000-dollar penalty after another.

This is the same tactic used in Israel's law that made it impossible in Israel to advocate boycotting the products made by Israeli businesses in Israel's colonies in Palestinian territory. It threatened such a person with the prospect of penury through unlimited judgments of "damages".

The root cause of the Texas law is that Republicans rig the elections in Texas.

China student suicides

lundi 17 mai 2021 à 02:00

In China, school officials cover up student suicides, and if parents and their neighbors demand information, the state's noise machine says they are working for the CIA.

The US likewise places too much pressure on students. However, such coverups tend to be limited to thug departments after a uniformed thug murders someone.

Concealed EPA data

lundi 17 mai 2021 à 02:00

The wrecker made the EPA conceal data on developing global heating damage, but Biden has it publishing the data again, and it shows how things have got worse.
