Why Telegram is the go-to app for those wanting to spread toxic information
What is Elon Musk’s involvement in the riots really about?
@ecksmc Hungary was the start of some of this. They're replaying what brought Orban into power. https://hungarianspectrum.wordpress.com/2012/12/29/the-siege-of-the-hungarian-television-station-september-18-2006/
@AnnetteTRemain honestly don't think the UK riots can be linked in anyway, shape, or form, to what happened in Hungry
For one the people involved in UK riots right now won't remember the Hungry situation if they even knew about it in first place
What kicked the UK riots off was pure misinformation from a fake news site and social media influencers spreading that misinformation

The eejits involved in riots, and ejjits spreading misinformation, ain't that clued up
@ecksmc far right resurgence worldwide. Pushing disinformation, chaos, and hate topples moderate or left wing governments and brings in far right strongmen gov.
@AnnetteTRemain yeah hungry riots ain't same as UK riots
Most of the actual disinformation comes from bad actors in other countries like Russia, Iran and these right wing eejits are "useful idiots"
The ring leader is a Russian asset his followers are Russian useful idiots

UK rioters ain't got a plan - people pushing the misinformation on other hand have a plan "destroyed from within"
To understand this information war, we need to understand where and how arguments and ideologies are promoted and developed online.

Carefully crafted social media posts and other online propaganda are fighting to make people around the world take sides
@AnnetteTRemain Farage and trump are useful idiots to Russia campaigns
They ain't some masterminds behind it all
