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.

But we still have to wait for the IDF to finish the investigation into which unit was told exactly where Hind was and that paramedics were on their way and still ended up shooting both her and a clearly marked ambulance. Those things are just hard to figure out, you know.
From the article:
Director Kaouther Ben Hania's re-enactment tells the story of six-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed along with her three cousins, aunt, uncle and two paramedics who had come to their aid after their car was fired on by Israeli forces in Gaza City in January 2024.
The piece, primarily about the film's reception at a festival, is very definitive on who killed Hind Rajab, her family, and the first responders. It is also clear about the IDF's initial claim that they weren't involved and their subsequent "further investigation" stance.
No but see its honest because none of the information is technically untrue!
