The one on the left claims to be Elon Musk’s baby mama. The one on the right was indicted by the DOJ for spreading pro-Kremlin narratives. You literally can’t make this up.

Excellent investigation into the Nazi content proliferating on Meta’s platforms over the last month ⤵️ While online hate was already flourishing, Meta’s policy changes have removed the guardrails.

Responding to the TikTok ban, @aoc.bsky.social hits the nail on the head. This is exactly why the EU has consumer protection legislation like GDPR and DSA. But no, people’s right to privacy is considered “stifling innovation” in the US.

Meta’s new content moderation approach to increase personalized political content recommendations + remove restrictions on topics like immigration and gender is a stellar recipe for online radicalization

This article overlooks that much of tradwife content, esp on TikTok, is targeted towards the male gaze. And young men are adopting more conservative & traditionalist views compared to young women. We’re seeing a crisis of misogyny, not just a crisis of masculinity. www.salon.com/2024/12/19/t...

2024 was the year of the tradwife as worldwide Google searches of the term spiked 📈 Unfortunately most clickbait media headlines about tradwives failed to mention the right-wing weaponization of white motherhood as a deliberate strategy in the online culture wars

A key takeaway from this conversation is that the right-wing information ecosystem has been building on culture war issues for decades while the left was being blindsided

The conservative women’s magazine Evie has released their new cover featuring Ballerina Farm. Evie has peddled health conspiracy theories & disinfo, patriarchal relationships, and anti-LGBTQ views under an aesthetic guise. It’s time to stop saying that tradwives aren’t political.
