Look what you made me do 💁🏻♀️ nytimes.com/2024/04/22/bus…
I’ve chatted with gabs AI chatbots and I’m confident we don’t need to be concerned about this being successful
Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, a social media platform known as a haven for white nationalists, has announced that Gab will be launching an "AI-powered Wikipedia alternative."
It’s #Caturday Eve and Sam is sitting on my lap. Only took 1 year for him to trust me enough to do this 😅🥳
I talked to @pbump about the current state of QAnon — publicly less vocal, but more at home in the GOP than ever.
I was curious what happened to QAnon and what a Trump reelection might mean for the group. So I went to an expert. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Lot of stories about how the war on disinformation is being won by folks who stand to gain from falsehoods. But from Mondays skeptical Supreme Court to the unraveling of the motley crew behind the central conspiracy theory, seems like a shift is coming. nbcnews.com/tech/misinform…
I spoke to the folks at Sweet Baby about the current harassment campaign against them: "You can't convince the conspiracy theorists." wired.com/story/sweet-ba…
me and the great @BrandyZadrozny both published features today about Judd Blevins, who (per Brandy's report) admitted in private that he was a member of the white supremacist group Identity Evropa. her story is great. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/o…
New from me: Enid, Oklahoma elected a white nationalist to its City Council, igniting a fight for the soul of the city, one that united a coalition of its most progressive residents and divided its most conservative. Now voters will decide: Should he stay? nbcnews.com/news/us-news/o…
Elon Musk has repeatedly boosted a #QAnon influencer on Twitter, doing so at least two dozen times since he took over the platform and reinstated the influencer’s account, a Media Matters analysis has found, reports @AlKapDC for @mmfa. mediamatters.org/elon-musk/elon…
People like myself and @Vitek2288 have been worried about this for a few days. We've been watching it boil up from subreddits as it slowly breaks containment. Glad to see someone like @AlKapDC is covering this responsibly. Expect a @DNWpod episode about this soon.
New from me: Right-wing users have targeted a video game consulting company, pushing misleading claims about it forcing diversity & inclusion into games. 4chan users & others on platforms like YouTube have joined in, with some calling it “Gamergate 2.0.” mediamatters.org/4chan/online-t…
Anti-#Islam activist Brigitte Gabriel appeared on a #QAnon show urging viewers to join and raise funds for her anti-Muslim group ACT for America, and to sign the org’s petition against Palestinian refugees. #Gaza #CeasefireNOW #genocide @mmfa @AlKapDC mediamatters.org/brigitte-gabri…
And, as @AlKapDC points out, this is a way of giving a platform to someone who was recently banned from YouTube: x.com/alkapdc/status…
YouTube banned Patrick Casey from the platform in January. mediamatters.org/google/youtube…
Looks like I'll be "parading this false story" on CNN tomorrow, everyone! Details in early afternoon.
I love the Jewish people and Israel will exist until the end of time w my full support. The Bible reigns above and fascism should dissolve in the bosom of hell. Anyone who pushes Nazism is not welcome @CPAC Now stop parading this false story and go away.
In January 2019, Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Liz Crokin said that if the mass arrest of "elite pedophile satanists" didn't happen by the end of the year, she was going to "bow out" of the movement. Four years & ZERO arrests later, she's still at it. rightwingwatch.org/post/liz-croki…
How was Pizzagate debunked? I’ll take things that never happened for $1700, Alex. Pizzagate has been validated by the DOJ, FBI, the WSJ and many other sources. Yet, YOU, like a complete psychopath, still sit here on X defending pedophiles! If you’re so confident it’s been…
I’m especially proud of the reporting we did on extremism and disinformation over the years. The relentless jeering from the people we've reported on is, I think, a testament to strength of the work we did.
WATCH: I sat down w Chaya Raichik of LibsofTikTok to talk about Nex's death, her role in Okla. politics, her beliefs on gender, the great replacement theory, sex ed, her false accusations against the Uvalde shooter, why she and Seth Dillon cut ties & more youtube.com/watch?v=XL-40g…
Far-right and extremists celebrating the decline of VICE is testament only to the work that VICE journalists have been doing for years, long before most outlets paid any attention to this problem But these celebrations will be short-lived as those journalists will be back soon..
@AlKapDC @TheJoeyMama I learned a lot from that video.
