    “Disinformation”, that is just what MSM/politicians/wealthy class don’t like.

    Musk is not a free speech absolutist, he censors what he doesn’t like.

    Most people don’t really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe in is the truth.- Unknown

      No, disinformation is a definitely thing. Its a cheap and easy way to weaken democratic societies.

      While the mainstream media definitely have a bias and tend to de-emphasize certain stories, (that are anti-capitalist, mostly) to say disinformation isnt real, or to say stories (like “russiagate”) get labelled as disinformation only because “they dont want you to know the truth” … that is in fact disinformation. Im sorry.
