    When catalyzed by algorithms, misleading claims can discourage people from getting vaccines, spread authoritarian propaganda, foment distrust in democratic institutions and spur violence.

    The “authoritarian propaganda” in question: any Russian news org. And the “democratic institution” mentioned: the US government. 😮‍💨

      “authoritarian propaganda” in a few years or decades, depending on the state of class struggle, will just be “anything that doesn’t let billionaires sell children and lobby for nuclear warfare”

        Click on the link in the article and you’ll see that they’re talking about RT and Sputnik along with anything that vaguely supports Russia. Course, when the US bans dissenting media, it’s anti-authoritarian somehow.
