heyoo··on Facebook, Reddit, Google, Twitter, YouTube joint statement on misinformation
I had high hopes from this title. Unfortunately, it only involves misinformation in regards to COVID-19.

I would really hope they would unite in a joint effort against the spread of propaganda from fake accounts instead.

As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, take a look at Bot Sentinel top 100 trollbots [1].

#1 @BrandonBeckham_ is (from my judgment) a fake twitter account [2]. He poses as a veteran Christian that loves everything Trump. All he posts is pro-Trump stuff & Donald J. Trump retweets him frequently.

This is the stuff that needs moderation for misinformation. This is _dangerous_ - it affects people's minds and changes their minds. But somehow this stuff is just ignored by Big Tech.

Agree. An exception is when one or more sides are playing foul game by using fake accounts to spread propaganda.

In this specific case, the context is fortunately irrelevant.

The statements mean exactly what they say.
