Fediverse vs Disinformation

300 readers

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Bottom Line

The only purported evidence for the claim that Khelif is trans comes from an undisclosed test performed by an allegedly corrupt sports governing body that may have shown she has a DSD condition. The IOC has said Khelif meets its requirements for participation, with Adams, the IOC spokesman, specifically clarifying, "This is not a transgender issue."

Because Khelif is not transgender, claims attempting to make her victory against Carini an issue about transgender rights or "woke" politics are without basis.

If its not, the competition should be non gendered then.

If someone transitions late in life it is unfair for other competitors.

See how under age boys compete vs. Adult women in different running sports.

It's just not fair for the women since birth to compete with someone who had an unfair biological advantage to begin with. We have empirical evidence to back it up.

But I guess that's just a dumb opinion.
