This weekend I spoke to a black who claimed she wasn't going to vote for Trump, but that he had done a great job "With human trafficking" . I thought this was strange for a lot of reasons, but it ended up exposing yet again Facebook's failure to stop disinformation

First, it's patently not true, Trump has done no better battling "Human trafficking" than previous presidents & that's before you consider children who've gone missing from border interment camps https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/aug/12/viral-image/graph-showing-rising-human-trafficking-arrests-und/

But this narrative plays into the conspiracy about #pizzagate & child abuse that bots & hate groups have spread online. Here's the catch though, many of you have probably never actually SEEN any of these memes or stories pop up on your timeline on Facebook. Why?

Because Trump/Russia/ suppression efforts target persuadable people or those that can be deterred. If you're GETTING these kinds of messages it's because Trump thinks you're uninformed enough to be persuaded to not vote or vote for him https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/28/trump-2016-campaign-targeted-35m-black-americans-to-deter-them-from-voting

So the next time you hear a friend talk about some insane conspiracy that just 'popped up' on their facebook timeline. Tell them that Trump thinks they're gullible, and the best way to prove him wrong is to vote him out of office
