<br> Twitter and other platforms cited policies against hate speech, inciting violence and dangerous conspiracy theories in suspending accounts in the aftermath of the Capitol attack. Trump and political allies have railed for years against what they call “Big Tech,” alleging bias against conservative voices without providing systematic proof and pushing companies to take a lighter hand in moderating content and punishing violators of policies. A study released the week before the presidential election by the Election Integrity Partnership, a consortium of misinformation researchers, found that just 20 conservative, pro-Trump Twitter accounts – including the president’s own @realDonaldTrump – were the original source of one-fifth of retweets pushing misleading narratives about voting. The research by Zignal and other groups suggests that a powerful, integrated disinformation ecosystem – composed of high-profile influencers, rank-and-file followers and Trump himself – was central to pushing millions of Americans to reject the election results and may have trouble surviving without his social media accounts. Online misinformation about election fraud plunged 73 percent after several social media sites suspended President Trump and key allies last week, research firm Zignal Labs has found, underscoring the power of tech companies to limit the falsehoods poisoning public debate when they act aggressively.<br>
<br> The Zignal report also found that hashtags and phrases used by QAnon adherents declined over the past week but mentions of it and of its anonymous leader “Q” increased by 15 percent – a finding that could be explained by the coverage and conversation about its role in the attack on the Capitol. Zignal found that the use of hashtags affiliated with the Capitol riot also dipped considerably. Etymological dictionaries attribute the financial meaning of check to come from “a check against forgery”, with the use of “check” to mean “control” stemming from a check in chess, a term which came into English through French, Latin, Arabic and ultimately from the Persian word shah, ato takeover prevention or “king”. HoldTheLine and the term “March for Trump” also fell more than 95 percent. FightforTrump, which was widely deployed across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media services in the week before the rally, dropped 95 percent. The new research by the San Francisco-based analytics firm reported that conversations about election fraud dropped from 2.5 million mentions to 688,000 mentions across several social media sites in the week after Trump was banned from Twitter.<br>
<br> The findings, from Jan. 9 through Friday, highlight how falsehoods flow across social media sites – reinforcing and amplifying each other – and offer an early indication of how concerted actions against misinformation can make a difference. This being said, there are a few banks that offer online business checking accounts with no ChexSystems review, or that give only minor consideration to what they may find on your report.

The raids – part of an investigation referred by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to federal prosecutors in New York – point to escalating legal jeopardy for a longtime Trump confidant who is deeply intertwined in the president’s business and personal matters. The aggressive tactics by prosecutors drew the president’s ire. In a dramatic and broad seizure, federal prosecutors collected communications between Cohen and his clients – including those between the lawyer and Trump, according to both people. Prosecutors called Manafort’s bookkeeper and former accountants to testify against him.<br>
<br> As Trump sat down for dinner Monday with military leaders at the White House, he repeatedly called the raid “a disgrace,” railing that he and his administration are the subject of unfair, baseless and misguided investigations. Facebook called Trump’s suspension “indefinite” but left open the possibility that the account could later be restored.

A competent hater will not merely attack you individually but will try to get mobs after you. “Together, those actions will likely significantly reduce the amount of online misinformation in the near term,” said Kate Starbird, disinformation researcher at the University of Washington. Disinformation researchers consistently have found that relatively few accounts acted as “superspreaders” during the election, with their tweets and posts generating a disproportionate share of the falsehoods and misleading narratives that spread about election fraud, mail-in ballots and other topics related to the vote. Election disinformation had for months been a major subject of online misinformation, beginning even before the Nov. 3 election and pushed heavily by Trump and his allies. On Friday, Bruno, 26, who is normally assigned to cover the Charlotte City Council and Mecklenburg County Commission, persuaded his producers to send him to Bladen County, even though the largely rural area, about a three-hour drive southeast of Charlotte, was far outside the station’s broadcast market.<br>
