Fediverse vs Disinformation
Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

This is extremely disrespectful to their employee who is now dead.
the headline claims “initial inquiry”….
which, being bound by journalistic integrity, they must report what Israel says without editorializing.
In this article and a subsequent one they state that it was their cameraman and he was murdered, and Israel lied.
But, when they asked Isreal for a statement (initial inquiry), Isreal said it was a Hamas Camera….
One really important takeaway: Israel didn’t claim they thought he had a weapon, they acknowledged that they knew it was a camera.
