Need some weekend reading? The New York Times cites Pyrra's report looking at the lies spreading on social media about hurricanes Helene and Milton. “Pyrra Technologies, a company that monitors fringe social media, found that false story lines introduced during Helene about the Federal Emergency Management Agency were being repurposed for Milton on platforms associated with the far right. Common disinformation tactics, such as misrepresenting old footage, were also deployed: Some accounts shared a video of a woman being thrown out of a Texas bar in 2023 and falsely claimed that it showed a more recent assault against a FEMA official.” #disinformation #helene #milton #hurricanes #socialmedia
