Here is the Press Release:
May 1, 2020 (May Day) –
The Defeat Disinfo PAC (www.defeatdisinfo.org) launched today to reduce the impact of disinformation emanating from President Trump through the 2020 election.
Defeat Disinfo is the first organization to not only study or detect political disinformation online but also to mitigate its effect at scale -- narratively, truthfully, and transparently. It is the first organized mass resistance to Trump’s disinformation by and for the American people, regardless of party.
“President Donald Trump is the largest amplifier of disinformation in the United States,” said Director Curtis Hougland. “People are dying as a result of his political agenda. Trump’s expressions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrate how a few words from the President result in real world damage, again and again. Defeat Disinfo will protect the American people by
coordinating emotional, topical, visual, and personal narratives in response to the president’s disinformation through election day.”
According to a report released last week by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Republican Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina, Russians interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump. Amid the continuous flow of disinformation from the Trump administration, and the acquiescence of large technology platforms such as Facebook to stop it, US intelligence services expect unprecedented disinformation in the 2020 election.
Defeat Disinfo serves as the front-line against the weaponization of the Internet for partisan political purposes by The White House. The PAC will support fair elections through three recurring steps:
Map tweets from @realDonaldTrump becoming wide-spread disinformation on issues such as COVID-19
Source the digital narratives proving most effective at pushing back against these untruths
Invite Americans to share these highly visual and emotional narratives from real people in unison and at scale
Unlike Russians and the Republican Right, Defeat Disinfo will not use bots or sock puppets, falsify media, utilize models, or make up information. Instead, the organization will rely on real stories from real people.
At launch Defeat Disinfo analyzed disinformation resulting from President Trump’s public comments on how bleach “treats” coronavirus.
As a result of his dangerous comments, and subsequent attacks on the media for disseminating his falsehoods, more than a thousand Facebook groups and hundreds of thousands of posts across the internet echoed his disinformation, resulting in spikes in calls to poison control centers across the country. In response, Defeat Disinfo algorithmically identified the prevailing themes and emotions most effectively mitigating this misinformation online. Based on previous analyses prior to launch, Trump’s comments on disinfectant represent the most damaging moment in his candidacy since the coronavirus outbreak began.
In preparing for launch, Defeat Disinfo also tracked disinformation resulting from Trump’s comments to provoke “reopen” protesters in regard to supposedly exaggerated death counts. In response, Defeat Disinfo determined that second-person accounts of the experiences of health care workers proved most effective as a counternarrative to these strains of disinformation.
While Defeat Disinfo plans to expand its purview beyond COVID-19, the organization will focus initially on the disinformation emerging from the White House related to the pandemic given the catastrophic cost to the health and wealth of all Americans. Defeat Disinfo will also post narratives in response to disinformation (and misinformation) daily on its blog given the continuous flow of lies from @realDonaldTrump.
Over time Defeat Disinfo will develop the largest repository of digital narratives countering Trump’s disinformation for use by any organization invested in protecting our democracy.
Founded in 2020, Defeat Disinfo algorithmically identifies coordinated disinformation and organic misinformation online, and then sources peer-to-peer content to effectively push ahead of these harmful narratives online. It is the first sustained cyber and narrative approach to disinformation. Its mission is to protect the 2020 election from disinformation and preserve the will of the people at the ballot box.

The Washington Post Wrote the Following on the Group:
The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president.
The initiative reflects fears within the Democratic Party that Trump’s unwavering digital army may help sustain him through the pandemic, as it has through past controversies, even as the economy craters, tens of thousands have died, and Trump suffers in the polls.
“It’s often said campaigns are a battle of ideas, but they’re really a battle of narratives,” said David Eichenbaum, a Democratic media consultant who is a senior adviser to the PAC. “Today those narratives spread quickly online.”
The initiative is run by Curtis Hougland, who received initial funding for the technology from DARPA, the Pentagon’s research arm, as part of an effort to combat extremism overseas. He insists Democrats are ill-prepared for the looming battle over information and attention, which is bound to play an outsize role in November.

Paid for by soros? They seriously need a very terminal computer as well as real virus to attack them right at the root of this NAZI group. This is the NWO at its worst.
let me be the first to say we are in a war, and we've been in a war for a long time
We are in the middle of is what is known as low intensity assymetric cultural conflict. It is conducted mainly in the arena of propaganda and psyops. It has little to do with military evolutions and much to do with civilian mouthpieces. A series of events are set in motion - Trump's election, Mueller Investigation, Impeachment, coronavirus and the players improvise upon the unfolding of events. Propaganda requires a gullible, compliant public, and keeping the public frightened, confused and riled up over scandal and outrage is job one. Facts are not as important as keeping up the momentum of rage filled accusations, which replaces critical thinking with hatred. The disadvantage in using propaganda is that the target becomes saturated and inattentive. In the cyber age, it is hard to keep a monopoly on information sources and the more time that passes, the more defections will be encountered. Since the Democratic Party USA's attack is based upon a web of lies and exaggerations, they have far more to lose from free access to data than we have and thus have a tighter time frame of effectiveness. Their overall UN Agenda bankerarchy needed Hillary as President to enable the final push towards a police state regime. This is why the Dems, ALONGSIDE the Never Trump neocon CIA/UN globalists went berserk when Trump declared his candidacy. This is do or die endgame for them. The Internet is revealing their rat lines of financial and political control beyond a tolerable, containable threshold. THEY are the faction of lies and delusion, WE are the faction of truth. Time is not their friend. The Coronavirus was to have been released under Hillary. They are desperate and had to release the virus under Trump. It is likely that the economy will recover, the Mueller/FBI illegalities will become front page news, Biden will foot in mouth and #metoo his way to defeat and Trump will be elected. They cannot allow this, so buckle up. They will hit us with some other calamity - another biowarfare op, the assassination of Michelle Obama or Obama himself, a large civilian death event such as 9/11, a false flag suitcase nuke, or WWIII vs China. China did not create this virus. The Dulles-Rockefeller CIA created this virus and planted it in Wuhan. Air headed thinking on this score is not a war winning attribute. Ginnin up the public and the world against China is Goldman Sachs & Co.'s way of staving off China's overthrow of the world's central banks debt farming, an economic imperialism that has turned much of the world, as reflected in the UN, against us.
Would LOVE to see ohomo and his tranny cow rightfully executed(as opposed to the assassination you used)for treason against the Republic and all of his crimes against the Republic erased from govt books.
