Trump’s Twitter and Facebook bans are working!

[Oddball]

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.

Good stuff.

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?

That's not the real Toro, dude....He'd never allow himself to be associated with the leftist lunacy that this imposter is cheerleading.

Some whacko Leftist hacked his USMB account?

Or the real Toro gave his password to one of his troll buddies from the FZ.

In any case, what you see here today is NOT the real Toro....The genuine article is much, much smarter and more articulate than the imposter shitbag who is currently defiling his good name.

Does that mean you're ready to move on to book burning and concentration camps?

Nope, it means that most Americans are ready to move on from hate speech, lies, and conspiracy theories.
They are bad for America as was demonstrated on 1-6.

And all last summer was bad for America. Where were you then?

Yes, Trump said the COVIDS would go away in the Spring. We lost 300,000 souls since last summer - 400,000 at present and another 500,000 by February. Trump was bad for America - Hard Stop

You know why that number is bullshit? Because 99.7 % survive. Do you realize how many cases of Covid that would entail? Do the math. Another huge lie to keep you in line and scared shiltless.

Okay let's do the math Sunshine.
24,805,000 cases divided by 411,440 deaths = 1.64% of people who get the COVIDS die.
And keep in mind that death is a TRAILING INDICATOR.
So take your 99.7 % survival and shove it where the sun don't shine!

United States
Coronavirus Cases:
24,804,739
Deaths:
411,440
Recovered:
14,785,677

The CDC says 99.7% You are the one that trusts the bureaucrats, not me. Covid is a now nothing but a scam.

We were also told that masks and oppressive laws would save us all. Didn't.

The ones to blame for this pandemic continuing and getting worse is all those who didn't wear masks in public and refused to follow social distancing. Fact.

Its actually those who DID wear masks that have prolonged this nonsense.

LOL. Or because so many Republicans and conservatives have left those platforms.

Dunce.

The moon landings happened. Biden winning the election fairly happened

But Twitter and Facebook choose, yours and everyone else's opinion doesn't matter.

Can these stupid leftists not see that they are digging the same hole they are in as well?

Math don't work if you use bogus figures and yours' are definitely suspect.

I get mine from the CDC - You? Your BS claim of 99.7 survival is nothing short of hilarious ;-)

I didn't make any claims. Not enough information. Try again.

Both Twitter and Facebook believe men landed on the moon

The election was nearly 4 months ago. Of course discussion of it IN ALL FORMS is going to receded.
Common sense

The conspiracy theories and disinformation continues unabated by the left.

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

STATEMENT: "The conspiracy theories and disinformation continues unabated by the left."

RESPONSE: Post the Conspiracy Theories and disinformation you state. First, define the "left", then post the above, such as these from the far far right: Election Stolen, Deep State and BIG LIES echoed every day all across social media.
