We'd better figure out how to reduce the torrent of falsehoods pouring out of social media, talk radio, podcasts & cable networks before we drown in misinformation. Spotify, Fox, Facebook, etc. must stop peddling disinformation just because it’s profitable.https://t.co/lBVUibs4ni — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

Some of the MAGA multitudes said that I was revealing my hatred of democracy because I was born in the USSR. In truth, I am upset about the lack of information gatekeepers precisely because I know how precious freedom is--and how easily it can be lost. https://t.co/lBVUibs4ni — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

The GOP position seems to be that there should be no gatekeepers at all--aside from the algorithms that feed collective outrage. This is a deeply destructive & profoundly anti-conservative position. While populists embrace the mob, conservatives fear it. https://t.co/lBVUibs4ni — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

It is not clear to me that democracy can survive so much disinformation – and yet Republicans are bashing “Big Tech” because they are so mad that Trump and a few other political arsonists have been banned from major social media sites. https://t.co/lBVUibs4ni — PolitiTweet.org

Social media, @bfwalter writes, has become “the vehicle that launches outsiders with autocratic impulses to power, riding a popular wave of support.” Examples include Erdogan, Modi, Orban, Bolsonaro--and of course Trump. https://t.co/lBVUibs4ni — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

Freedom House reports that democracy has been on the decline around the world for the past 15 years--the same period that has seen the rise of social media. In “How Civil Wars Start,” @bfwalter argues that this is no coincidence. https://t.co/lBVUibs4ni — PolitiTweet.org

There is nothing more corrosive for the health of a free society than the nonstop emission of conspiracy theories, falsehoods, and incitements to outrage from social media, talk radio, podcasts, and right-wing television “news.” https://t.co/lBVUibs4ni — PolitiTweet.org
