Disinformation is the ‘threat of a generation,’ but Canada is struggling to deal with it: National security adviser::Advances in AI have pushed disinformation and misinformation campaigns to a new level of effectiveness and covertness, says Jody Thomas.
The left is just as bad as the right, but you are so blinded by the faith in your idiology you just admitted you can’t see it.
Yeah, good luck with that. Social media has been so compartmentalized, not just by community but by platform, that pretty much whatever platform you’re on has turned into one giant echo chamber. The Fediverse is not immune to this and pretty much any instance of size has become essentially a bunch of left-wing echo chambers that all connect to each other and downvote, ban or defederate anything even centrist. This is not to say that right-wing or centrist instances can’t exist in theory, but the current heavily and aggressively leftist state of it leads people who would make such instances to believe the Fediverse is far left by nature. The right does have places like Truth Social and Ruqqus where they do the exact same thing on their end. Frankly it’s still one thing that the “mainstream” places like Facebook, X/Twitter and Reddit do better, moderate effectively to at least put up an appearance of or attempt at neutrality, even if the communities that pop up within them are anything but neutral.
Well said.
The irony is the complete u-turn the left made in the last 30-40 years…
I just wish people could see things from a neutral standpoint, so they can see the insanity in both sides rather than clinging to the “my side is better than your side” extremism that exists these days.
Only then can we make a better world. Both sides are correct with some things and wrong in others, and it feels like very few people are aware of this.
This world isn’t so black and white, and all the nuance seems to have disappeared from people’s ability to conceptualize reality.
I can see the insanity on both sides.
But being able to see both sides doesn’t mean both sides are exactly equal all the time. They’re not.
And the truth is far from either sides ideal
