Trump’s Twitter and Facebook bans are working!

[DrLove]

73% drop in election conspiracy theories and disinformation!

In the wake of the deadly January 6 riot at the US Capitol that President Donald Trump heavily promoted on social media, platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and others finally moved to ban the president.​

​

The result? A sudden drop in the online spread of election misinformation.​

​

According to research by Zignal Labs, which the Washington Post reported on Saturday, online misinformation about election fraud plunged 73 percent in the weeklong period following Twitter’s decision to ban Trump on January 8.​

​

There are other factors that could have contributed to the decline, including diminished hopes on the far right of overturning the presidential election after Congress affirmed Joe Biden’s electoral victory. But to the extent that Twitter’s ban and the related scrubbing of right-wing conspiracy accounts were aimed at curbing disinformation, they appear to be working, at least in the short term. Not only has the spread of misinformation slowed, the research indicates online discussion around the topics that motivated the Capitol riot has also diminished.​

​

“Zignal found that the use of hashtags affiliated with the Capitol riot also dipped considerably,” writes the Post, summarizing Zignal’s research. “Mentions of the hashtag #FightforTrump, which was widely deployed across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media services in the week before the rally, dropped 95 percent. #HoldTheLine and the term ‘March for Trump’ also fell more than 95 percent.”​

Trump’s Twitter and Facebook ban is already working. Here’s how we know.

Election misinformation is down since Trump was deplatformed.

Indeed - GREAT stuff actually. And by the time Parler comes back they will have all become bored and moved on -
Probably to another conspiracy theory. Maybe Rudy and Sid can be their new leaders?

Opposition has been silenced through elimination and fear. That doesn't mean that there has been a change in opinion.

I never understood how taking away Trumps Twitter privileges silences him in any way.

He has something called the White House Press Corps to handle his news releases. All he has to do is release a statement or a video.

The conspiracy theories and disinformation continues unabated by the left.

When you silence people, you only prove you fear what they have to say.

Incorrect. When you silence lies and conspiracy theories, you don't end up with violent seditionist idiots like this.

It is plain to see you do not understand much or you would the massive cover up of the fraud is not working. No one is forgetting. No one thinks Xiden is legitimate, including over 20% of Democrats.

How facinating.....the very folks who proclaim to hate fascism, intolerance and exclusion are now championing fascism, intolerance and exclusion.
Am I missing something here...or is this typical Twilight Zone LibTardia type shit?
