Who's behind new WaPo attack on "conspiracy theorists"? First group: DATA & SOCIETY

WaPo article "Hateful Conspiracies Thrive on YouTube despite pledge to clean up problematic videos" cited the following groups and individuals as "researchers":

* Data & Society (Joan Donovan) <<< SEE BELOW

* Network Contagion Research Institute

* AlgoTransparency (Guillaume Chaslot)

* Columbia University Tow Center for Digital Journalism (Jonathan Albright)

DATA & SOCIETY (D&S):

• Part of a coalition of Globalists groups putting out propaganda ("research") designed to portray centrist groups as racist, white supremicist, conspiracy theorists & potentially terrorist

• The aim is to pressure social media into deplatforming non-Globalist content providers on the basis that they constitute a threat to public safety & security because their ideas are gateways to more dangerous ideas ("gateway drug" argument)

• Funded by all the usual suspects (long list includes Soros/Gates/UN). Declared revenue for 2017 was $4.1mil.

• Publisher in Sep 2018 of ''Alternative Influence: Broadcasting the

Reactionary Right on YouTube'', a PDF detailing how alternative social media (even people like David Rubin and Stephen Crowder) are part of a "reactionary" network that exerts a "radicalizing" influence:

• D&S website features a recent NYT article (11-25-18), "The New Radicalization of the Internet." (This article is mentioned on this board (via another article; see Sauce), but deserves its own post because it's the NYT trying to redefine terrorism as antiglobalism; see

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/24/opinion/sunday/facebook-twitter-terrorism-extremism.html.)

JOAN DONOVAN:

• Ph.D. in Sociology & Science Studies; head of the "Media Manipulation Project." {For D&S, media manipulation is obviously something only the Right does, not the Left!]

• Worked at the UCLA Inst. for Society & Genetics "where she researched white supremacists' use of DNA ancestry tests, social movements & technology.

• Articles include "Online hate is rampant; here's how to keep it from spreading"; "The Csae for Quarantining extremist Ideas"; "The tech companies are finally standing up to hate; will it work?"

• There are many articles, plus "press coverage' and nothing is older that 15 months and most are less than a year old, which probably reflects a recent hard push from Soros et al to link the ideas of liberatarians, conservatives & alt-media to radical and even terrorist ideologies.

Yup, you nailed it!

Well, they are everywhere but so are good people. I love the Canadian mts, espec. the Rockies. Beautiful country, special places.

Has more to do with coming to terms with reality of the situation. No one is "ok" with DS being in our business. But first we have to know what's going on. Since someone is already "in our business," I hope Q team is there too–don't want to be alone with Google team, or China team or whatever….

Not New Age, Green movement = rebranding of Communism after the Wall fell. Fren and I saw it coming (Q–"What's green on the outside and red on the inside?")

Anon, do not worry so much. Always remember there is disinfo here. I have no idea if Snow stuff from Q is info or disinfo but try not to get jerked around by every twist and turn. Works well in all areas of life.
