Das zeigt mal wieder, wie leichtfertig #Machtmissbrauch in einer entfesselten #SocialMedia-#Welt benutzt wird, um dem #Gegner #Schaden zuzufügen (wie hier mit dem "#Pädohammer", der bekanntlich ein oft gewähltes #Tool ist (#Pizzagate), um missliebige Zeitgenoss:innen zu #vernichten. Ohne jede #Skrupel oder Blick auf die Folgen. Da nützt auch das #Löschen nichts mehr. Das #Internet vergisst #nichts und #niemals.

@futurebird @krozruch I'd want to put it out as a public dataset both for CS/ML exploration but also as a resource to help document and understand the next four years (and beyond).

Consider the Some Like It Hoax paper and imagine something like a weather map that lets you know about crazy stuff (like #pizzagate) before we would generally know about it - see where crazy is finding fans and know what crazy is spreading. Sort-of an automated public internet/#memescape weather report.

Was wurde aus #Pizzagate?

Die Frage ist aktuell: Der Täter starb vor kurzem, nachdem er bei einer Verkehrskontrolle angeschossen wurde.

Bernd Harder schaut nach, welche Rolle #Verschwörungsdenken hier immer noch spielt und wie echte Kriminalfälle in Verschwörungsgeraune untergehen.

The New York Times · Man Convicted in Pizzagate Shooting Is Killed in Confrontation With PoliceBy Hank Sanders

I remember when this guy went into the restaurant back in 2016. I had a coworker at the time who was convinced by the whole conspiracy and when I told him there was nothing there, he came back with, "Well maybe there's secret passages in the walls." These folks will literally make shit up on the spot to avoid admitting they are wrong.

I've got some pretty complicated thoughts and feelings about this, but I'll just leave it here for now without further comment:

The man who in 2016 showed up to a popular pizza restaurant with a gun, claiming there were children being trafficked in the basement, died in an officer-involved shooting on Thursday outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, according to authorities.

Does anyone remember #Pizzagate?

The way #stochasticTerrorism works is deranged lies are spread on #socialMedia. Then someone with #mentalHealth issues acts on the lies with #violence

In 2016 a pizza restaurant in Washington DC was raided by such an unwell person with an AR-15. Because he believed lies from anonymous #trolls, that Hillary Clinton and powerful pedophiles were keeping children in the basement there

He died this weekend

He pulled a gun on a cop
