I’ve documented high-volume MAGA twitter networks for several years. Conservatives are NOT silenced on social media. They are amplified by a right wing propaganda machine. https://medium.com/@erin_gallagher/buildthewall-data-visualizations-high-volume-influencer-networks-4c22e5e4bda0">https://medium.com/@erin_gal...
Political spammers and right-wing power users flood the platform with MAGA propaganda every day. This is not censorship. https://twitter.com/3r1ng/status/1087077553863618566">https://twitter.com/3r1ng/sta...
Besides the amplification of right-wing messaging on social media platforms, Fox News is the most influential cable news outlet and has been for years. https://twitter.com/3r1ng/status/1191455187623464963?s=21">https://twitter.com/3r1ng/sta... https://twitter.com/3r1ng/status/1191455187623464963">https://twitter.com/3r1ng/sta...
The fact that conservatives believe they’re censored when the truth is they’ve got the biggest megaphone on the Internet is A Big Lie, as in the propaganda technique. Repeat a colossal lie often enough and people will treat it as true.
