Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Experts say Americans are being manipulated on social media by fake posts about unrest across the nation.

Twitter may be more subject to misleading posts than its peers, experts say. The social network has recently started labeling misleading posts. "People need to be aware that these events on the ground are being spun for political reasons," says Angie Drobnic Holan, editor-in-chief ofthe Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking news service of the Poynter Institute journalism think tank.

"I'm really worried about infiltration of [online] activist movements by domestic provocateurs and foreign agents — who will try to shape these movements towards their own objectives," another member of the research team, University of Washington professor and researcher Kate Starbird,Disinformation is sometimes dismissed as just the work of automated "bots" or troll accounts mocking people, but the impact can be far greater, experts say.

Just read and watch your liberal MSM to see who is inflaming the protests ..

Not too sure twitters the defining factor in how bad the protests/riots got. Injustice, hatred, murder, extreme prejudice and racism with a president who could do nothing but inflame the situation. That’s what inflamed the protests/riots.

They're not Russian they're Antifa...I see what you did there. Half truths with a spin

Did outside groups and so called extremists put their knee on George Floyd till he died ...?

This is a complete balance reporting.

As indicated in the article, all social media platforms.
