Tech companies and academics ‘cracking down’ sounds like an excuse to silence conservative voices. Microsoft might mean well, but where’s the line?
Here are the top political news stories for today.
This is all part of a larger problem. Foreign actors are just picking up on divisive narratives that already exist. If Americans stopped feeding these rumors, there wouldn’t be much to exploit
Agreed. Russia and Iran don’t care who wins – they just want to divide us. We’re practically handing them the ammunition when we spread conspiracy theories ourselves.

But isn’t it a bit suspicious that tech companies and media are always the ones ‘deciding’ what counts as disinformation? It feels like selective policing, and no one’s holding them accountable
