Facebook's 'Disinformation Dozen' Are Flourishing Across Social Media

[Initech]

All except two of the 12 social media personalities dubbed the "disinformation dozen" are still active on at least one of the major platforms of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and boast a combined 6 million followers, Newsweek analysis has found.

The dozen were named by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) as those intentionally peddling the most viral false information about vaccines and COVID-19 online, in a study released in March 2021 and later cited by the Joe Biden administration.

The CCDH urged social media companies to shut down accounts linked to the 12 but, despite several being removed, a majority are still active.

As of July 25, accounts linked to the dozen still had a combined 520,000 followers on Instagram, 830,000 on Twitter and 4.7 million on Facebook.

Seriously Mark Zuckerberg is a terrorist for allowing this shit to continue and profit off of it.

1. I guess nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd

I don’t get it. I see some crap on Facebook but I just pass by. I do have “friends” who post some of this stuff but again I mostly go by it. I poke at them from time to time sure.

As far as Twitter I do follow Empty Greene and a guy named Todd Starnes ( famously fired by Fox across all platforms) but mostly because the replies are so ruthless and funny.

2. FB needs to die.

That is all.

3. Without some sort of legislation, this is unlikely to change. Grr. nt
