Taylor Lorenz: “The rampant election fraud conspiracies on Threads show how Meta’s efforts to downrank and minimize journalistic content on the app have helped to create a vacuum in which misinformation thrives unchecked and users are unable to find reliable, accurately reported news.”

“The conspiracies also show how many self-described liberals have grown increasingly conspiratorial and unable to distinguish fact from fiction in a chaotic and broken information ecosystem.”

1. One way to do away with liberal opposition. I bet most

of these conspiracy theories have their source in MAGA trolls. I hope Zuckerberg rethinks tamping down journalism.

Who said it was?

6. BlueAnon

That is what a Rolling Stone article is calling the “totally unfounded” (their words) assertions that the election was stolen.

7. I saw it being talked about and was immediately "Nope".

Such a shame the people experiencing this election loss are being exploited. The MAGAs won't stop until an fmri scan of everyone's brain looks like mush.

9. Liberal conspiracy theories are not one of the problems we should put at the top of our list.
