Maybe work on some legislation or campaigns to improve education instead? If they’re being financed by shady companies then investigate their ties. I just don’t see trying to make YouYibe the information police a positive thing. They already do that on behalf of Zionisists and how has that turned out?

Media literacy is essential but not enough. Disinformation is effective because in sufficient volume it bypasses our cognitive mechanisms.

Maybe yours? Claiming the election wasn’t stolen in 2020 is disinformation. Anyone claiming otherwise should be banned from social media. See how that works?

I don’t know if we’re having the same conversation.
