💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱<p>1/6<br>This week for <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/FactFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FactFriday</span></a> I want to point out some of the more subtle ways that <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/misinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>misinformation</span></a> and <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disinformation</span></a> is spread on <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/blogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blogs</span></a> and <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> by people I am dubbing the <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/Disinformati" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disinformati</span></a> (the <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/Illuminati" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Illuminati</span></a> of disinformation 😉 ) as a cautionary tale of what to be aware of when on these sites. I have encountered all of this in the realm of <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/Mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/Maths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maths</span></a> <a href="https://dotnet.social/tags/Math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Math</span></a> but the take-aways apply equally to all subjects....</p>
