Anti-quarantine protesters, who are being kicked off Facebook, are moving to freemium social site MeWe that became a refuge for conspiracy theorists and others
- Protests against lockdown orders taking place in several states are being organized in groups and events on Facebook … Tweets: @ajreid and @noupside Tweets: Alastair Reid / @ajreid : The hardest thing about reporting on conspiracy theorists and disinformation is not amplifying them. How many people outside of disinfo watchers had heard of MeWe before this article? https://www.businessinsider.com/ ... Renee DiResta / @noupside : There are a collection of these tiny sites/apps -MeWe began to market itself to antivaxxers in 2015 as they got paranoid ab FB “watching” them (at the time FB was in fact doing nothing specific to them). Then, at least, engagement would drop off very quickly except diehards. https://twitter.com/...
