Yeah basically you share an image of a news headline and your crazy aunt forwards it to her crazy friends who spread it to their crazy friends. Similarly in India's last election a major problem is group chats with like 250 people in them spreading fake news that then get shared with other 250 person groups. Almost all of that fake news was Islamaphobic and just generally racist shite used to boost the BJP's popularity amongst gobshites.

there was a ton of illegal stuff happening in brazil too involving paid ads on whatsapp that was massively pro bolsonaro

Just a FYI, this week weather is going to be warmer and wet towards the weekend, but next week its going to go cold again, question of how cold and when is too far to know, but the weather models keep throwing out the possibility of Snow from middle of next week i.e. Election day could have tough conditions. Just one to be aware of if you are involved in transport for people on Election day.

He says leavers may like Boris Johnson. They might be related to one of his many children, Farage says. He then suggests he should not have said that.

I dunno, Labour wants to steal my house, the Lib Dems want to insult it, the Tories want to make my landlord more able to kick me out of it and the SNP want to take it out of the UK.
