Doctor retweeted by Trump has warned of alien DNA, sex with demons


Quote:
A Houston doctor who made false statements about the coronavirus in a video that was removed from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube this week has previously made other unfounded claims about medical conditions, sexual contact with spirits, the U.S. government, children's television shows and more.

Stella Immanuel appeared in a video this week published by the right-wing outlet Breitbart News.

From today's Gray Lady"

Quote:
The Sinclair Broadcast Group published an interview highlighting baseless arguments by Dr. Judy Mikovits, a discredited scientist.Zuma Press, via Alamy
Sinclair Broadcast Group recently published an online interview with a conspiracy theorist who claimed that Dr. Anthony Fauci created the coronavirus using monkey cells. Sinclair — which operates almost 200 television stations — has also run segments downplaying the severity of the virus.

Fox News has repeatedly run segments promoting ideas that scientists consider false or that question the seriousness of the virus.

Breitbart published a video this week in which a group of doctors claimed that masks were unnecessary and that the drug hydroxychloroquine cured the virus. It received 14 million views in six hours on Facebook, my colleague Kevin Roose reports. (President Trump tweeted a link to it.)

Why is the U.S. enduring a far more severe virus outbreak than any other rich country?

There are multiple causes, but one of them is the size and strength of right-wing media organizations that frequently broadcast falsehoods. The result is confusion among many Americans about scientific facts that are widely accepted, across the political spectrum, in other countries.

Canada, Japan and much of Europe have no equivalent to Sinclair — whose local newscasts reach about 40 percent of Americans — or Fox News. Germany and France have widely read blogs that promote conspiracy theories. “But none of them have the reach and the funding of Fox or Sinclair,” Monika Pronczuk, a Times reporter based in Europe, told me.

Fox is particularly important, because it has also influenced President Trump’s response to the virus, which has been slower and less consistent than that of many other world leaders. “Trump repeatedly failed to act to tame the spread, even though that would have helped him politically,” The Washington Post’s Greg Sargent has written. The headline on Sargent’s opinion column is: “How Fox News may be destroying Trump’s re-election hopes.”

Another factor creating confusion: The lack of an aggressive response to virus misinformation from Facebook and YouTube. Judd Legum, author of the Popular Information newsletter, has identified some of this misinformation, and the two companies have responded by removing the posts he cited. But Legum told me he had pointed out only a small fraction of the false information, and the companies had done relatively little to remove it proactively.

Twitter took a slightly more aggressive step yesterday, putting temporary limits on the account of Donald Trump Jr. after he shared the false Breitbart vid

Making money stoking outrage with lies.


Quote:
Isaac Stanley-Becker
August 11, 2020 at 4:00 a.m. PDT
The reality curated by “The Bearded Patriot” and “The Wolf of Washington” is dismal.

The websites tell of nonstop riots and “crazed leftists.” They warn of online censorship and the wiles of an “anarchist billionaire,” a reference to George Soros, the liberal investor and Holocaust survivor.

The material is tailor-made to inflame right-wing passions. But its underlying purpose is to collect email addresses and other personal information from impassioned readers, whose inboxes then fill up with narrowly targeted ads. The effect is to monetize the anger stoked by misleading political content — for as much as $2,500 per list of contacts.

An investigation by Alethea Group, an organization combating disinformation that draws its name from the Greek word for “truth,” has linked the operation to Mark S. Evans Jr., a self-proclaimed “online multimillionaire” who affixes “DM,” for “dealmaker,” to his name. The network of 178 sites, at least half of which are politically themed and share visual as well as technical features, is designed to harvest email addresses, which are then sold to commercial brands, according to Alethea Group’s analysis, and possibly also to political campaigns.

The findings, which were provided to The Washington Post, illuminate the financial motives behind the spread of hyperpartisan, low-quality news. And they reveal how merchants of misinformation are exploiting techniques of data collection to more efficiently capitalize on polarization and falsehoods and more effectively target specific communities.

“This is for-profit fear mongering enhanced by aggressive data collection,” said Cindy Otis, Alethea Group’s vice president of analysis. The digital marketing apparatus made possible by the sites, including lucrative data profiles of their visitors, “comes with the capability to support political consulting or campaign work,” said Otis, a former CIA analyst and the author of “True or False: A CIA Analyst’s Guide to Spotting Fake News.”

Email marketing and campaign list-building are not cutting-edge tactics. But the findings by Alethea Group shed light on a practice further to the extreme, one devoid of any apparent news gathering mission and unfolding almost entirely in the shadows, with recycled content and stock images.

Peter F. Aquart, an associate of Evans listed as an agent in several of his ventures, posted this summer about “skip tracing,” a practice associated with bounty hunters that involves determining a person’s whereabouts and other private information. “Who are you using?” he asked on Facebook. Around the same time, Aquart hinted at one possible use for the more robust records he was pursuing. He wrote on LinkedIn that he was seeking support for a mass-texting program, a service increasingly central to political campaigns.

“Pairing collected data with things like skip tracing software and bulk messaging apps — it’s where a lot of these networks are headed,” Otis said. “It is the future of political disinformation.”

Neither Evans nor Aquart responded to calls or text messages seeking comment, or to emailed questions about the websites, some of which were previously traced to Evans by BuzzFeed News and linked to advertisements for masks. Aquart acknowledged receipt of a text message but stopped replying after a Washington Post reporter identified himself.

Several LLCs operated by the two men, including Rightside Data and Direct Mailers Group, are set up to sell the data collected from the right-wing websites. The firms provide contact details that are also associated with some of the news sites, and a media and marketing specialist listed as a Rightside employee, Andy Pangerl, posted ads in May claiming access to “30 Conservative Leaning Email Lists.”

The lists, he wrote, include “1.5 million baby boomers.” Several months earlier, a Facebook page associated with the company advertised a list collected from one of its sites, Real American Pundit. It offered 173,000 email addresses for $2,500.

A LinkedIn profile for Rightside Data, which has also done business as Cash Flow Lead Gen, says it is “focused on delivering highly targeted, quality email leads … with our newsletter assets.”

The description adds, “We drive clicks.”


The nimble enterprise offers a case study in how domestic actors stand to profit from the pollution of the online information ecosystem, which has only intensified, experts say, since the 2016 election brought the dangers of disinformation to the fore. The labor required to set up the sites, repackaging existing headlines with a more explicitly partisan or sensationalistic angle, is minimal, said Lisa-Maria Neudert, a researcher with Oxford’s Computational Propaganda Project. But the potential payoff, from even a few stories that gain viral attention on social media, is significant.

“It’s a huge crisis,” said Chris Vargo, a professor of data analytics and digital advertising at the University of Colorado at Boulder. “There are thousands of these sites, fueling hyperpartisanship, reinforcing people’s existing beliefs and making it possible to target them with dangerous disinformation about anything from an election to a vaccine for the coronavirus.”

Partisan interests do not appear to be a primary motivation for the people behind the online network. Pangerl — whose LinkedIn profile indicates that he formerly worked for Newsmax Media, a conservative outlet whose email lists were tapped for online fundraising by President Trump’s campaign in 2016 — has made pro-Trump posts, including a tweet ridiculing a Democratic primary debate and tagging the president and his eldest son and daughter, along with a range of right-wing pundits.

Evans, however, rarely posts overtly political messages, though he does use news events to advance his business philosophy. Several days after Trump’s election in 2016, he titled a post, “President-Elect Trump’s 100-Day plan …” The eye-catching headline was only a hook to tell clients that the president’s plans were less important than the question of how they were bettering their own lives, as Evans wrote, asking, “So what’s your 100-day plan?”

The tactic speaks to Trump’s place at the center of viral clickbait.

“The worst of the Web used to be cat videos,” said Joshua Braun, a scholar of online media at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. “Now it’s Trump or viral hoaxes around coronavirus.”

Advanced ad targeting makes it possible to capitalize on the passions the president incites to market products to a narrower and narrower segment of people, Braun said. These technologies, which were manipulated by the Russians in 2016, have drawn scrutiny on Capitol Hill. They have also spurred a wave of research documenting how ad targeting based on Web-browsing behavior reinforces racial bias and inflames partisanship, among other harmful outcomes.

In the case of the network linked to Evans, profit appears to come not from Web advertising but from newsletter sign-ups. Evans owns or operates a cluster of businesses — with addresses in West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach, Fla., among other locations — that focus on digital marketing, real estate transactions and other means of quickly amassing significant riches.

But his main mission seems to be that of a life coach. Claiming to advise “thousands of people across the world,” he offers to transform clients from “mules,” who toil away with little reward, into “magicians,” who achieve results within 10 minutes. He dispatches his advice in morning “Cigars and Coffee” sessions, streamed live on social media, where he tells his followers, who usually number no more than several hundred per session, to “get addicted to winning.”

Evans offers his own life story as a model for would-be clients to emulate. A self-published memoir tells of his ascent from a trailer park in Ohio — “barely graduating high school” — to his life in South Florida “making more money than I ever dreamed possible while traveling the world.” He identifies two primary ventures — “a massive real estate investment firm and a lucrative media company” — that he says “generate millions of dollars each per year.”


One of the lessons he took with him from his childhood, he says in one video, is to “be honest, be ethical, do the right thing, even if it hurts.” At the same time, the overarching promise he recalls making to himself was, “I’m going to do whatever I can in my powers to go out and achieve wealth at a whole new level.”

That promise took shape in the form of American Wealth Builders, a business that boasts of helping real estate investors diversify their holdings. Comments on the group’s Better Business Bureau profile raise questions about its effectiveness. “This is by far the worst investment you could ever possibly make,” one apparent client wrote in April 2019. “You would be better off to simply light your hundred dollar bills on fire.”

The warning has not kept customers away from Rightside Data, which promotes four clients on its website: Agora Financial, Family Survival, New Market Health and the Oxford Club. All but Family Survival are affiliates of Agora Inc., a Baltimore-based publishing network, and an Agora spokesman confirmed they had obtained email addresses from Rightside Data.

In the past, Agora subsidiaries have expanded their marketing reach by leasing email lists from prominent conservatives, including Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and Republican candidate for president, and Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor who twice ran for the GOP presidential nomination.

Information gleaned from the right-wing blogs serves the same purpose fulfilled by the contact lists of conservative politicians. The American Pundit, Bearded Patriot and Wolf of Washington websites appear to be part of a common network, centrally designed and operated, according to Alethea Group’s findings. Many of them share domain registration data, IP addresses and Google AdSense identification numbers.

The sites also use similar coding and design features. Virtually all of them include an opportunity to enter an email address and sign up for a newsletter. They also feature similar privacy policies stating that the sites are collecting data from their visitors.

Most of the content is pulled from other conservative outlets, such as the Daily Wire and the Washington Examiner. Writers for external sites are sometimes credited, while other stories appear without bylines, among the key indicators of suspect media identified by the Global Disinformation Index, a Britain-based research group.

Some of the figures operating the sites took steps to conceal their involvement, according to Alethea Group.

One called “Patriot Reserve,” which employs a common tactic of selling Trump paraphernalia, identifies its chief executive as “Ron Madison.” But the headshot is a stock image, and the website uses the same Wisconsin address listed for the Direct Mailers Group and other websites in the network. The site offers a commemorative Trump coin, which it says typically sells for $127, for $9.

It assures viewers, “This is not a gimmick!”

Fux news had reported this fake news and later retracted it,, much later. again a fake FBI fraudulent document that Fux news did not verify. Should Fux have fired the people who put this on the air. Remember Dan Rather was removed from CBS for putting on documents that had been verified and to date the information in them has never been proven incorrect.

Not only that this was a fraudulent FBI document which is a crime, but note the right wing in-justice department has not gone to have this person arrested. The Barr -in-justice department is more concerned with getting the right wing trump associates who have admitted in crimes with russia off. And more Hillary biden investigations.

A federal judge has ordered Twitter to reveal the identity of an anonymous account linked to a conspiracy theory about murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich


Quote:
A federal judge has ruled that Twitter must reveal the identity of the user tied to a conspiracy theory involving murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.

Rich was killed in 2016 in what Washington, DC, investigators have said they suspect was part of a robbery, though his death remains unsolved. Following Rich's murder, however, a conspiracy theory emerged tying Rich to WikiLeaks' dump of a trove of DNC emails, alleging, without evidence, that he was killed as part of a cover up.

Fox News later ran a since-retracted story promoting the conspiracy theory, which was based partially off a forged FBI document. Rich's brother, Aaron, alleges that an anonymous Twitter user called @whyspertech sent the document to Fox News.

Aaron Rich sent a subpoena to Twitter earlier this year, asking for information about the account, which Twitter fought to keep private, citing the account holder's First Amendment rights. But US Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu denied Twitter's request, ordering the company to hand over information about the account by October 20.


A spokesperson for Twitter declined to comment on the judge's ruling.

The judge's ruling isn't the first time Twitter has been ordered to hand over information about an anonymous account.

In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security ordered Twitter to reveal the identity of an account that frequently criticized President Donald Trump's immigration policies and may have been run by a federal employee. Twitter cited the user's right to free speech in refusing to comply, and one day later, the government dropped its demand.

Navy SEAL Who Killed Osama Bin Laden Slams Trump for Sharing Baseless Conspiracy


Quote:
Retired Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill, known for his role in the operation that killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, pushed back after President Donald Trump amplified conspiracy theories on Twitter alleging the death was staged, according to reports. Trump promoted an unfounded conspiracy theory on his Twitter by a QAnon-linked account that claims the Obama administration staged the terrorist leader's death and "may have had Seal Team 6 killed,"Politico reported.

A former associate of Trump ally Roger Stone appeared to gesture for Hillary Clinton to be hanged at a conference with QAnon attendees


Quote:
Jason Sullivan, an ex-social media adviser to Roger Stone, seemd to imply Hillary Clinton should be hanged.
Sullivan made a gesture appearing to resemble a noose while talking about Clinton at a QAnon conference.
The conference, lasting three days, has attracted crowds of supporters who cheered at Sullivan's gesture.
See more stories on Insider's business page.
A former aide to Roger Stone, a longtime friend and former adviser to Donald Trump, appeared to indicate at a QAnon conference over the weekend that Hillary Clinton should be hanged.

Referring to Clinton as a "godawful woman who shall not be named," Jason Sullivan, Stone's ex-social media adviser, made a noose gesture with his hand on a stage. His action was received with loud applause from a crowd of QAnon gatherers.

A former attorney for Sullivan did not immediately return Insider's request for comment.


Clinton was Trump's Democratic rival in the 2016 presidential election. Trump frequently berated her using sexist and misogynistic remarks, and has continued to do so years after he won the election.


Even while campaigning for the 2024 election, Trump lambasted Clinton, taking every opportunity in front of a crowd to target her.

"We went through the greatest witch hunt in political history," Trump told supporters at his official campaign launch in Orlando, Florida, in June 2019. "The only collusion was committed by the Democrats, the fake news media, and their operatives, and the people who funded the phony dossier: Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC."

In response to Trump's vitriolic behavior and remarks, "lock her up" chants often broke out among his supporters.

The QAnon conference is a three-day event that took place over the weekend in Dallas, Texas. Its main attraction was Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser under the Trump administration.

While up on stage, Flynn suggested to a crowd that there should be a coup in the United States that mirrors the one taking place in Myanmar.

Hundreds have died since the military overthrew the democratically elected government.

Flynn in 2017 pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. He received a pardon from Trump last year.

Time to remove this protection, time for them to prevent right wing -russian lies. The right wing loves lies and their liars...


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-supreme-court-could-change-the-liability-game-for-internet-firms-heres-how-171810727.html

The Supreme Court could change the liability game for internet firms. Here's how.


Quote:
A 1996 law that’s credited and criticized for legally immunizing interactive websites — like YouTube (GOOG) (GOOGL), Facebook, Instagram (META), and Twitter — that moderate, and refrain from moderating, posts made by third parties, is about to face a challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The bottom line: the case, depending on the outcome, could overhaul the risks of recommending online social content.

On Tuesday, the high court is scheduled to hear arguments in Gonzalez v. Google, which questions conflicting appellate court interpretations of Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. The law, often cited as containing the “26 words that created the internet,” supported rapid proliferation of interactive websites by shielding them from legal responsibility for harms third party content may cause.

In Gonzalez, family members and the estate of Nohemi Gonzalez, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen killed in a December 2015 ISIS shooting at Paris' La Belle Equipe bistro, argue that Google should be held at least partially liable for her death. That's because, they allege, the company's YouTube service knowingly permitted and recommended, via algorithms, inflammatory ISIS-created videos that allegedly played a key role in recruiting the attackers.

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed the lawsuit at Google's request, concluding that Section 230 barred the claims because ISIS, not Google, created the videos. Meanwhile, judges in separate jurisdictions, faced with similar claims, applied varying interpretations to Section 230's liability shield.

In a case alleging that Facebook's algorithmic recommendations led to killings by Islamist militant group Hamas, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit similarly held in Force v. Facebook that Section 230 protected the social media company from liability. The court reasoned that recommendations brought about the same affect as native third party posts.

However, in a partial dissent Judge Robert Katzman instead argued that content recommendations convey messages beyond the defendant itself and therefore strip away Section 230 protection. Extending Section 230 to recommendations, he said, immunizes social media from "unsolicited, algorithmic spreading of terrorism.”

In still another case, Dyroff v. Ultimate Software Group, the Ninth Circuit held that the defendant's email recommending another party's content amounted to acting as a publisher. The majority held that Section 230 still protected the defendant from liability because its recommendation method — via algorithm — treated harmful other-party content the same as other other-party created content.

In Gonzalez, the high court will wrestle with the question of whether Section 230’s immunity stretches to fully immunize sites that make targeted recommendations, like the ones in Force and Dyroff, or if instead Section 230 provides only limited immunity for such recommendations.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ultimately affirmed the district court's ruling in the case, holding that Section 230 immunity barred plaintiffs' claims.

Targeted recommendations from social media and other websites can include automated algorithms that select and send specific material to a particular user's account feed, email, or text. Information that a site like Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter knows about a user, such as the health issues or social groups they research, for example, can serve as a basis to recommend content associated with those searches.

Google’s ISIS video recommendations, the Gonzalez plaintiffs argue, provided a uniquely essential role in the development of ISIS’ image and the terrorist organization’s ability to grow and spread its message.

“[W]hether Section 230 applies to these algorithm-generated recommendations is of enormous practical importance,” the plaintiffs wrote in their petition to the court. "Interactive computer services constantly direct such recommendations, in one form or another, at virtually every adult and child in the U.S. who uses social media.”

For its part, Google argues in its opposition brief that the Ninth and Second Circuits got it right when the majority ruled that Section 230 bars the company from liability for third-party content, including content recommended to its users.

Signed into law in 1996, Section 230 was created to enable online platforms to make “good faith” efforts to moderate user-generated content deemed “objectionable” without facing legal liability over that content. The law states that “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher of or speaker of information provided by another information content provider.”

In 2018, President Donald Trump signed a law weakening some of Section 230’s protections to allow victims to sue websites that knowingly facilitate sex trafficking. However, a Supreme Court ruling further opening the door to liability for recommended third-party content could jeopardize significant company revenue streams.

Once online companies transitioned from subscription-based revenue streams to advertising-based revenue streams, the plaintiffs argue, their motivation to use automated algorithms skyrocketed. The algorithms, they say, tend to increase the time that users spend at their websites.

“The public has only recently begun to understand the enormous prevalence and increasing sophistication of these algorithm-based recommendation practices,” the plaintiffs wrote in court documents.
