    Could?

    Online propaganda has literally killed millions of people already.

      You’re right! That’s why it’s so urgent to take action against disinformation. I just left a comment with some ideas for what people can do to deal with the Twitter problem. As you just said millions are getting killed. What I suggest could just take a minute or two of your time and it will help slow down the spread of disinformation.

      I have yet to see someone directly die from online propoganda that wasn’t basically suicide.

          that was a virus killing people, the propaganda just increased the rate of spread and had idiots taking ivermectin.

            The propaganda caused people not to wear masks or otherwise prevent transmission before a vaccine was available. In a world without this propaganda, more people would be alive today - both the idiots that believed it, but also the innocents whose deaths they caused.

              i don’t think they’ll be satisfied with anything short of “the words rose up off the screen and physically murdered a person”.
