A new study has found that just 12 people are responsible for the majority of C19 anti-vax misinformation on social media.

On FB alone they are responsible for 73% of the anti-vax content. FB themselves failed to remove 95% of reported misinformation.

Be nice to see them charged with manslaughter or whatever the US equivalent is. At some point people have to start being made accountable for crap like this.

The disturbing thing is they now they are pandering to people want to read this - much as the same nutters who tell us there is no such thing as global warming, and that Trump is a 'man of the people' whose sole concern is for theaverage US (white) worker, and certainly not to line his pockets.

The same dumb fckwits over here who cannot, or don not, want to se through Johnson and Farage. Who think Rees-Mogg is a jolly nice chap who regards his privileged position s one to use to help the 'down trodden' masses.

Just what fu xked these people so much that they have to cling onto this obvious nonsense. Because as long as there these total fu ckwits out there. people like Farage will screw every last penny out of te by feeding them absolute sh ite.

Paul Lines told Express.co.uk that the UK's fishing industry has the potential to grow from around 0.5 percent of Britain's GDP to 3.5 if zonal attachment is reintroduced after the post-Brexit transition period. Mr Lines added that Britain's coastal communities will thrive off having a fishery and it may result in thousands of jobs created within the fishing sector." Aug 2020

And there is the stupidity in a nutshell. What Johnson told them was blatant lie. It could not happen. They chose to believe an habitual liar ovr reality.

If our club told all season tickets holders that if they all paid double for the STs we would be playing in the Champions League next season. Is it a failure of our club's negotiating skills when it then doesn't happen, or a reflection of supporters wanting to believe an obvious lie ?

So is it some mental block, some psychological disorder, or what that has these folk willingly suspending all rational thought ?

Did you see the ivermectin story? Seen people pushing ivermectin as a 'cure' all over social media despite many concerns being raised.

The anti-vax stuff is truly horrific - the scientists have done a fantastic job both developing the vaccines and investigating rare severe complications.

Stuff like this is the hardest to teach kids about media and how it works. Adults, almost impossible despite it not being new. Just deadlier and more nuanced.

I wonder if they will one day laugh at this like those adverts of doctor’s recommendations for cigs?

So even though the original report was in March, much of the material from these users is still available and some still have accounts:

When do people/governments say enough is enough and do something that will actually effect FB in a material way?

Fascinating and depressing. I wonder how much effect it would actually have to ban them though (hear me out I am absolutely not an anti-vaxer).

Might it just be that online influence tends to get concentrated in a relatively small pool of super-users? (think Stephen Fry with x million followers etc) I would expect that these accounts compete either directly or indirectly with other similar accounts for the same audience and attention so would be fairly rapidly replaced. Similar mechanics may even be at play within our very own TWTD forum! Ultimately if there is a demand for that content someone will fill it.

For the record I think they should be banned and prosecuted for manslaughter but I don't think it would be as easy to solve as it might appear on first glance. When I worked at the Red Cross we were looking into an education programme for young people to help them spot when they were being influenced online as part of an anti-extremism programme. I think the real answer may lie more in something like this.

PS if anyone is interested the training we were looking at was based on IC thinking developed by Sara Savage at Cambridge ( https://www.enterprise.cam.ac.uk/case-studies/tools-resolving-global-conflict-2/
