@mvp can you explain why this is propaganda ? I’m not arguing the case here, and I am very interested in the spread of fake news (don’t get me wrong - I don’t spread this stuff myself, but see it a lot of the time), and even more interested in finding ways of stopping it.

contaminator I’m curious as to how it could be stopped also. Would be interested in your views around this.

contaminator I have been on this forum for around 3 months now. I never read anything other than cooked up stories to put a country in bad light ( by that blog ). It shows a pic of Muslim women with laptop and banners in English. And they say that is bad because internet is restricted. Those women are free, educated, knows English, and are computer literate.What do you call it ? Suppression ? Check with people some 500 KM from them in a country where Osama was killed.

I think this is enough of a reason to remove this feed. Let me know if you agree with this.

I will leave the decision to the team. I don’t think this is the only blog ( from that particular country ) that spreads such fake news. But as they say, one step at a time is also a good move 🙂
