Eine führende US-Regierungsbehörde, die ausländische Desinformation aufspürt, hat ihre Tätigkeit eingestellt, teilte das Außenministerium am Dienstag mit, nachdem der Kongress es nach Jahren der republikanischen Kritik versäumt hatte, seine Finanzierung zu verlängern.

Color me shocked brought to you by the party of terrorists
I mean, it’s not like it really helped. Even when Republicans were told outright that the media they are consuming is disinformation, they didn’t care.
Putin (just as he said when Trump won the election): “This is very helpful to us”
“The source of the call is originating from within the house.”
Why doesn’t the government take a stronger stance against foreign disinformation?
Obviously, once a nation has lost a propaganda war, it’s time to setup shop. Would anyone expect an entity not controlled by the USA to continue ensuring our norms are adhered to? No? We got an entirely new set of norms Incoming. No one but ourselves can afford to course correct.
Well fuck. That’s just terrific.
Soooo, they were dissing Russia and we can’t have that shit, right?
They were shitty at their job anyway. Look where the fuck we wound up.
So they tracked it…..but did what exactly? Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, etc. were completely turned into foreign misinformation sites but nothing was ever done. For one I could care less, no reason to pay them to do nothing. That being said, if we had an agency that actually did something I’d be all about it.
Doesn’t seem like they were effective in stopping Russia America Takeover.
Putting already getting what he paid for.
So glad our nationalist, patriotic party believes China should be able to own our media narrratives 🙏
Don’t worry, along with social security, Medicare and the FDA, this agency that tracks misinformation will be dismantled very soon. My god I feel like I need to read 1984 again soon so I’m prepared.
Wow. What a time to be alive. #neverforget
I once posted on here that the normal people of North America are literally just being farmed like cattle and was downvoted into oblivion. I feel like time and time again I’ve been proven right in the worst of ways.
Republicans want another 9/11 so they can have another patriot act, but with more big brother
“And the state sews seeds of confusion with their re-education efforts, barraging citizens with the following seemingly nonsensical inversions. ‘War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.’”
Just the beginning.
I don’t know what to say. If, after all we’ve observed in the the last decade, Americans can’t tell what’s being boosted by foreign or domestic disinformation campaigns and learn consume media judiciously, then we probably deserve to go down in ball of fire.
We are so doomed lol. It all starts with education, Please bring back more critical thinking.
We’ll be living in an actual hellscape before 2025 ends.
