#Brazil #WhatsApp #FakeNews #Disinformation: "The creation and spread of fake news has alarmed governments the world over, but few countries have expressed as much concern as Brazil. And with good reason, as multiple reports have concluded that fake news stories regularly outperformed real stories in Brazil in 2016. The problem has grown so rampant that Brazil’s national police recently announced plans to find and “punish the authors of ‘fake news’” ahead of this year’s high-stakes presidential elections.
But WhatsApp adds another complication to Brazil’s fake news quandary: secrecy. Unlike the fully public Twitter, or Facebook, where posts are somewhat public and can more easily be tracked and analyzed by independent parties, WhatsApp is a closed, peer-to-peer messaging service. On WhatsApp, the most toxic aspects of fake news multiply: The platform exacerbates pockets of powerful echo chambers in a political environment already deeply polarized and makes tracking the reach and origins of disinformation particularly difficult for researchers, journalists, and, in Brazil’s case, the federal police.
“We have this new phenomenon of fake news sites specifically targeting WhatsApp — this is probably going to be a problem in the 2018 [national] elections,” Ortellado said."

Sen Blumenthal thinks there's probably a credible case of obstruction involving Rep Nunes.
Nunes is using his position to undermine an investigation into his own actions as part of a group under investigation. That certainly sounds like obstruction.
Nunes should have been removed from the committee, at least temporarily, when it started investigating him. Removal, not recusal. He has again shown why by using his position to interfere with the investigation.

Sen McCain once again noted that Russia is trying to destabilize the United States and other democracies.
"In 2016, the Russian government engaged in an elaborate plot to interfere in an American election and undermine our democracy," McCain said.
"Russia employed the same tactics it has used to influence elections around the world, from France and Germany to Ukraine, Montenegro and beyond."

#Fake, #Hoax, #Disinformation, #Unreal #Spoof #News Websites You should Know!
Fake news websites are also referred to as hoax news sites based on the Internet, that deliberately publish fake news, hoaxes, disinformation, and propaganda purporting to be real, by often using social media to drive web traffic and amplify their news…

#MediaManipulation #Disinformation #Misinformation #FakeNews: "Data & Society is pleased to announce generous new support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to launch the Disinformation Action Lab (DAL), a project to study and analyze propaganda and disinformation threats and develop solutions to address them.
The lab will use research to explore issues such as: how fake news narratives propagate; how to detect coordinated social media campaigns; and how to limit adversaries who are deliberately spreading misinformation. To understand where online manipulation is headed, it will analyze the technology and tactics being used by players at the international and domestic level."

Major #Disinformation Trend in 2017: Fascists Were the Good Guys? https://goo.gl/VgH8X9
Years ago in 2012, I published a thorough examination of disinformation tactics used by globalist institutions as well as government and political outfits to manipulate the public and undermine legitimate analysts working to expose particular truths of our social and economic conditions. If you have not read this article, titled Disinformation: How It Works, I highly recommend you do so now. It will act as a solid foundation for what I am about to discuss in this article.
Without a basic understanding of how lies are utilized, you will be in no position to grasp the complexities of disinformation trends being implemented today.
Much of what I am about to discuss will probably not become apparent for much of the mainstream and portions of the liberty movement for many years to come. Sadly, the biggest lies are often the hardest to see until time and distance are achieved.
If you want to be able to predict geopolitical and economic trends with any accuracy, you must first accept a couple of hard realities. First and foremost, the majority of cultural shifts and fiscal developments within our system are a product of social engineering by an organized collective of power elites. Second, you must understand that this collective is driven by the ideology of globalism — the pursuit of total centralization of financial and political control into the hands of a select few deemed as “superior” concertmasters or “maestros.” As globalist insider, CFR member and mentor to Bill Clinton, Carroll Quigley, openly admitted in his book Tragedy And Hope:

#ClimateDenial #ClimateChange #SEO #Disinformation: "America’s technology giants have come under fire for their role in the spread of fake news during the 2016 presidential campaign, prompting promises from Google and others to crack down on sites that spread disinformation.
Less scrutinized has been the way tech companies continue to provide a mass platform for the most extreme sites among those that use false or misleading science to reject the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change. Google’s search page has become an especially contentious battleground between those who seek to educate the public on the established climate science and those who reject it.
Not everyone who uses Google will see climate denial ads in their search results. Google’s algorithms use search history and other data to tailor ads to the individual, something that is helping to create a highly partisan internet.
A recent search for “climate change” or “global warming” from a Google account linked to a New York Times climate reporter did not return any denial ads. The top results were ads from environmental groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Environmental Defense Fund.
But when the same reporter searched for those terms using private browsing mode, which helps mask identity information from Google’s algorithms, the ad for DefyCCC popped up."
