Chinese Disinformation

The Chinese are putting up fake news sites around the world in order to catapult Party propaganda. Those who have uncovered the operation are calling it PAPERWALL.

There is a shitload of detail in the PAPERWALL report.

There is an old-school way to ensure that you're not consuming Chinese or Russian propaganda: Subscribe to a print newspaper that is not owned by the Murdoch family. Harder is to find a newspaper that isn't owned by some pillaging hedge fund, but it can be done.

I read everything but look for non-opinion and for contradictions.
Somewhere in the concentrated BS lies truth.

I like bsky 1: no engagement algorithms, therefore no engagement farming for clicks.2: Blocking is a nuclear option for bad faith players: get blocked enough, you're effectively off the platform. (catturd had a shot and got blocked enough to shut it's account down).3: lots of good news- adjacent people on there- A R Moxon & Rachel Bitecofer to name a few.
