Fediverse vs Disinformation
Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Cable is regulated by the FCC. We could have prevented Fox News from becoming a thing, but we didn't.
so, the point is you were barking up the wrong tree. if you want regulation just say that, but the fairness doctrine ain't it.
also I don't see how it's relevant to this post anyway, it's just some jackass on twitter who photoshopped an image.
