Russia is flooding the web with disinformation, we need to do something against that

Giving one person the authority to decide what is Russian disinformation and what isn’t is very dangerous. Isn’t the whole reason why we use the fediverse in order to prevent information being filtered through Big Brother/Big Corps, etc.? I think educating the average person that news sites like RT and Sputnik are owned by a foreign state is a better approach.

Fuck the conservatives, Fuck Russia in particular, Slava Ukraini!

This isn’t me arguing in favor of conservatism or Russian imperialism, and you putting this at the end of your comment makes it seem like you don’t want to have an honest conversation. If it was 2001, I feel like you would be arguing in favor of The Patriot Act because Fuck Terrorists, Fuck Osama in particular, Slava US-led Coalition!

Sites like RT and Sputnik that deliberately put out false information to intentionally mislead people directly cut against that purpose

Why don’t we start delisting Fox News and other conservative media while we are at it? Given that shows like Tucker Carlson have been proven in court to be spreading known lies

tldr after the beginning of the russian invasion into Ukraine, DuckDuckGo began explicitly down ranking “Russian disinformation”, with the exact definition for “Russian disinformation” not being given https://archive.is/g2eL9 https://archive.is/laxkZ

DDG has been shit since 2022
