It seems to me that anything the likes of facebook Twitter Google disagree with is now considered 'disinformation.' This is brazen anti-Speech and censorship. 'Disinformation,' by definition, is what the fake news outlets such as CNN NBCNews 'report' or 'analyze' everyday.

I smell antisemitism! Ha! Ha!

So no doubt they’ll be calls to boycott Israel and we can compare Israel to Russia in trying to mess with people’s democracy. Oh no you say. The us is Israel’s bitch and won’t say shit. Seems legit.

Thanks for your endorsement of our social media overlords.
