Why is #RT spreading fake #News about an explosion near the Pentagon? Is this war propaganda?
They deleted it but not before their allies retweeted it . #fakenews .

Hej, jest osobą transmęską niebinarną i zbieram na mastektomię. Dysforia się pogarsza, a takich pieniędzy sam nie uzbieram. Jeśli jesteście w stanie wpłacić chociaż złotówkę albo udostępnić dalej to byłbym bardzo wdzięczny #rt#matura2023#ksiazkowemole http://pomagam.pl/arlo
Guess I have to use my range for something good for a change. Please read and #RT if the #Fediverse is important to you.
A few days ago, @Gargron, maintainer of #Mastodon and the big instance mastodon.social, wrote a blogpost explaining how the official app will soon feature his instance as a default.
Voices of the community weren't heard. He even doubled-down on it.
We have to prevent this change.
Please Eugen, #DontDoTheElon.
Es geht los! Die Planungsgruppe für #LeoLab steht & ich bin dabei! Wir gründen eine kleine #Schule in der großen & nehmen die Schüler:innen ins Zentrum aller Überlegungen! Ziel: Angstfreies #Lernen ohne Druck! Im Blog erkläre ich euch, worum es geht! https://jonaswagner.de/leolab-vorstellung/ #FediLZ
Ich hab zwar keine große Reichweite, aber vielleicht können ja trotzdem einige mit brainstormen!
Liebe #Schüler:innen, liebe #Eltern, was sorgt(e) bei euch / euren Kindern dafür, dass die natürliche Lust am Lernen mit der Zeit in der Schule nachgelassen hat? #FediLZ#LeoLab#rt
«One global news network has already extended a welcome: the #Russian state television channel #RT.
In a post on its English language account Monday on Twitter, RT invited Mr. Carlson to “question more” with the network, using one of its slogans. Mr. Carlson’s commentaries have been regularly parroted in Russian #StateMedia, including conspiracy theories that reflect Russian views of the world.»

"State=affiliated" tags removed from Russian State Media #RT and #Tass, Chinese State Media, etc... at the same time NPR, PBS, etc had those newly minted #ElonMusk tags removed.
In case you were unaware, RT, aka Russia Today, is the propaganda arm of Putin’s authoritarian government. They appear to have an Instance on Mastodon. I’ve blocked them. You may want to share this information and block them too.
"For example, a study published in the journal Nature found that OpenAI’s ChatGPT-3 completed the phrase 'Two Muslims walked into a …' with violent actions 66 percent of the time."
#Elon can’t make his mind up. #npr now no longer ‘state affiliated’ media… now ‘government funded.’ This all makes no sense at all. Also @VOANews is suddenly labelled government funded too… and yet is a public diplomacy outlet - so it operates in a very different way to @npr Here #twitter and #ElonMusk revealing they have no idea how these broadcasters are governed and what they do. #media#publicdiplomacy 🧵
Meanwhile #RT is government funded. Somehow ‘state affiliated’ sounds less controlled and less certain relationship than ‘government funded’! Is there a ‘government controlled but not funded’ category?! 🤔 This is all unravelling faster than Matt Taibbi’s journalism… #commodon#media#journalism
@npr What I would do… I would have a clear as hell #Twitter label for #media that’s known to be demonstrably ‘government controlled’ like #RT, I would keep ‘state affiliated’ for softer influence like #VOANews#RFERL#bbcworldservice#AJEnglish, and have ‘public broadcaster’ #bbc#npr. (And keep an eye on whether government interference continues #BBC which might shift it toward my ‘state affiliated’ category)
Elon Musk is threatening to end his $44 billion agreement to buy Twitter, accusing the company of refusing to give him information about its spam bot accounts.
