First Argentina, then Netherlands swinging far right. Can we link any of this to Twitter/X reopening to Nazis & extremists? Russian/etc disinfo campaigns exploding in unregulated spaces?

With 4.2 billion people voting in national elections next year, far more than ever before in a year, it'd be good to know!

@nicol People are giving Facebook too big a pass on this stuff. The groundwork for these shifts was laid some time ago by several corp-owned online sites. Txitter's ownership change might be helping with the last-minute campaigning, but Twitter before wasn't quashing Nazis much and there's been evidence for a while that Facebook has been a dynamo of disinformation for at least a decade. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/oct/07/facebooks-role-in-myanmar-and-ethiopia-under-new-scrutiny https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/nov/15/facebook-ads-2020-election-rigged-stolen-instagram-policy https://www.theguardian.com/membership/2018/sep/29/cambridge-analytica-cadwalladr-observer-facebook-zuckerberg-wylie
