Can we believe anything we see now?

Not on most social media platforms, Daddima. I’m considering deleting my Facebook account, which has always been so useful, especially with keeping up with what’s going on locally. But recently there seems to be a constant drip, drip, drip of contentious threads started by disruptive posters or by AI, leading to people (or bots) arguing amongst themselves, throwing in stupid “facts” they either believe or claim to believe, insulting one another. Leading to so much racism, xenophobia, and other blatant prejudice. It’s bringing out the worst in many people and it’s depressing.

If it smells fishy it's probably a fish...

"If you thought Operation Whirlwind couldn’t get any more unhinged, think again. Ed Martin has been caught ghostwriting online posts attacking judges, including both federal and state officials overseeing cases tied to Trump and his allies. Internal messages reveal Martin not only wrote posts under fake or borrowed names, but also trained others to flood comment sections and social media with coordinated attacks, coaching them on timing, phrasing, and how to make posts appear “organic” to evade detection and moderation."
