Online Election Misinformation Dropped a Whopping 73 Percent After Trump Was Kicked Off Social Media

https://www.mediaite.com/trump/online-election-misinformation-dropped-a-whopping-73-percent-after-trump-was-kicked-off-social-media/

President Donald Trump lost one of his favorite methods of communication when Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms banned him for inciting violence and spreading misinformation — and now a research firm has quantified just how substantial the Trumpian misinformation really was.

According to a report by the Washington Post, Zignal Labs found that online misinformation about the 2020 election plummeted a stunning 73 percent after Trump’s digital excommunication.

Twitter confirmed this week that the ban on Trump’s account will continue after he leaves office on January 20. So far, Facebook has said that Trump’s suspension is “indefinite,” not committing either way to a permanent ban or eventual restoration. Trump and the accounts of his campaign and some top advisers were also suspended from Instagram, Snapchat, Spotify, Shopify, Pinterest, and several other platforms.

Has anyone gone to the dentist in 2020?

I just had a tooth break off and am freaking about the need to go to the dentist. Before 2020, I was regular every six months with my cleanings but skipped everything in 2020. I'm really feeling scared about going to have it taken care of, as I can't imagine how they keep you safe re COVID. There's no pain, just feels like a giant crater in my tooth!



UPDATE:

Thank you all. I was looking for the encouragement and reassurance you've given here.

I didn't plan not to go have this taken care of and feel easier about doing so now.

Help. Someone posted a video of rioters leaving the Capitol after the riot....

and I can't find it! There were a LOT of the rioters filing out of a door being held open that said MURDER THE MEDIA on it. It was a video from an abc tweet, I believe.

I really need to find it and have tried the search function, but came up empty.

Can anyone help me out??

Thanks.

Comey really was a lousy FBI Director.

He was on Colbert last night claiming that he wants Trump to just fade away and let Joe Biden "get on with the business of healing the nation."

Well, Comey, if you don't think holding a President accountable for inciting insurrection is a vitally important part of healing the nation, then you should never have been in a top law enforcement position to begin with.

FU, Comey.

Currently my fondest wish:

....that a polar vortex and a big ass blizzard descend on DC starting next Tuesday, 1/19, and lasting through Wednesday, 1/20.

Nancy Pelosi should not attend the inauguration.

And Kamala Harris, who will take the first oath, should be at a separate location.

Come on, people, these are extraordinary, emergency circumstances!!
