I’m starting to wonder if this isn’t deliberate in some sense. People actually learning about and supporting Palestine terrified the American establishment, if they’re anti-imperialist, they’re anti-US. So flooding the internet with completely and utterly wrong information, making it impossible for people to sift through it all and discover what is actually happening works as a kind of information blackout, without them needing to loudly censor everything and pretend they still have “free speech.”
