This is an ironic headline, given that it is, itself, disinformationhttps://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1222562573696098308 …

The ultimate problem -- and this is just one example of it -- is how information gets compressed from its original nuanced form in multiple steps, each dropping critical qualifiers, until the result is basically false clickbait

The original press release is pretty clear on the scope of this law: it will have penalties for knowingly disseminating false information about how and when to vote in order to suppress turnout (+link) https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/fighting-digital-disinformation?source=soc-WB-ew-tw-rollout-20200129 …pic.twitter.com/4XcFzezvdN

That gets buried a little bit in the article, four paragraphs in, just after a discussion about tech companies needing to be more accountable. The compression here drops the qualifier that this is about *specific* facts about how and when to vote.pic.twitter.com/CuEcAz133M

The headline compresses this even further: it's now turned into a generalized criminal penalty for spreading "voting disinformation" online. I get it, headlines have to be catchy and compressed. But lots of nuance has been lost to get us even this far.pic.twitter.com/egzzAi9R5l

But it doesn't even stop there. The information gets squeezed even further to end up in the final tweet, dropping even the qualifier that this is anything at all to do with electionspic.twitter.com/cJLioBpwDO

So we have a compression of information that goes from "it should be illegal to intentionally suppress voters via e.g. a campaign to tell them the wrong day to vote" to "saying wrong things online should be illegal" in a series of steps, each one dropping critical detail

I don't know how you can persuade people to actually read the source and not just headlines. But it's definitely not helping when news orgs reduce original docs & sources to a clickbaity headline that makes claims that are completely unrecognizable from the original

So much this. I know I'm all "Yeah, no, lemme click in and check that" when it's a headline I find risible or unworthy of belief. But when it matches what I expect anyway, I'm just like "of course" and I move on.
