Does the roo shit in the forest? 💩🦘 Facebook removes Russian network that targeted influencers to peddle anti-vax messages https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/11/europe/facebook-russia-covid-intl/index.html Facebook said on Tuesday it had removed a network of accounts from Russia that it linked to a marketing firm which aimed to enlist influencers to push anti-vaccine content about the Covid-19 jabs. The social media company said it had banned accounts connected to Fazze, a subsidiary of UK-registered marketing firm AdNow, which primarily conducted its operations from Russia, for violating its policy against foreign interference. Facebook said the campaign used its platforms primarily to target audiences in India, Latin America and, to a smaller extent, the United States. The company's investigators called the campaign a "disinformation laundromat," creating misleading articles and petitions on forums like Reddit, Medium and Change.org, and using fake accounts on platforms like Facebook and Instagram to amplify the content. Facebook said while the majority of the campaign fell flat, the crux of it appeared to be engaging with paid influencers and these posts attracted "some limited attention." ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yep, thick as mince! Same as these idiots, can just picture them screaming crisis actors - A man, whose unvaccinated mum, dad and brother died within the space of week after catching coronavirus, said he has been "bombarded" with abuse on social media. Francis Goncalves told BBC Radio 5 Live's Nicky Campbell the abusers believe him to be an actor, set up by broadcasters to spread a hoax. “People should be going to the doctor for advice on these things, but they listen to social media,” he said. All three of Francis’ relatives were scared by misinformation in regards to the Covid jab. Francis said it was difficult to counter the anti-vaccine rhetoric they were hearing as he didn’t feel he had the medical background to change their mind. He urged people to "take a step back, consider the information, consider the source, consider the quality". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be number 4. @pissedoff. Well looks like I'm #4. Got a positive test result this morning. Not feeling sick, but again I'm double jabbed.

Anti-vaxxers are negative thinkers and whilst criticising vaccines, governments, scientists, doctors, Microsoft etc and the vast majority or people, they have nothing to offer or suggestions for alternatives in dealing with the Covid pandemic except JUST DO NOTHING and try to influence those who have yet to be vaccinated, not to come forward by spreading misinformation and disproven conspiracy theories. They are the Doom and Gloom merchants. As Krapow mentioned, the vaccines have made it possible for many of us to start enjoying the normality of daily life. The greater the number of fully vaccinated people, the sooner the world has a chance of returning to normal. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
