While public officials in Oregon are pleading with the public to stop sharing rumors and misinformation about supposed antifa arson attacks, a misleading article by Law Enforcement Today backing that narrative is going viral on Facebook.pic.twitter.com/UWdFJLzL0V
The LE Today article uses one anonymous "federal law enforcement source" to assert that the fires are a coordinated attack. It also just brings up antifa with zero sourcing. Meanwhile, public officials are on record saying this is false.https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2020/sep/10/fires-california-oregon-washington-latest-live-news-updates-today?page=with:block-5f5a8f708f08b82e9cf85e67#block-5f5a8f708f08b82e9cf85e67 …
There are a few other articles pushing the false link between antifa and wildfires, but the Law Enforcement Today article is the one that is really doing numbers. Since I shared the CrowdTangle screenshot 
about 10 minutes ago, shares of the article on Facebook surpassed 50,000
The misleading article is being shared by many pro-police, "back the blue" Facebook groups and pages. Meanwhile, local law enforcement officials are pointing out that this is making their jobs harder, as 911 dispatchers and staff are "overrun with inquiries"pic.twitter.com/P62wfGfLun
We're now at 71,000 shares for this misleading article alleging antifa involvement in fires without evidence (and despite on record denials from numerous officials). A Facebook PR said the company has added fact-check labels, but I see no evidence of that.https://twitter.com/juliacarriew/status/1304420841350819845 …
Here are some examples of the groups and pages sharing this misinformation. It's a lot of local groups in Oregon and the PNW, lots of "back the blue" and pro-2nd amendment themespic.twitter.com/AK81aFa5nm
My colleague @jason_a_w is seeing the effects of this kind of misinformation on the ground in Oregon, where armed vigilantes appear to be patrolling the highways in evacuation zones... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/11/oregon-fires-towns-emptied-molalla …pic.twitter.com/LMiJ5bArcb
Ok got some clarity from @Liz_Shepherd to share:
- Facebook's third party fact checkers have not reviewed the Law Enforcement Today article, which now has a correction appended. FB has still reduced distribution of the LET link, pending review.
General claims about the wildfires being started by antifa have been rated false by FB's third-party fact checkers, and those kinds of posts are getting fact checks appended. Here's an example of those fact checks:https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/sep/10/facebook-posts/antifa-activists-did-not-start-west-coast-wildfire/ …
Facebook is a cesspool. It’s gotta go.
