Hi Fediverse, I'm Emanuel, an 80's computing enthusiast, worked for nearly 30 yrs mostly in eCommerce and gaming. My interests span programming, digital creation of any kind, demoscene (nick:"tubo^bph^beil"), and advocating for IT security and privacy. Creator of the Retrochecker app (@retrochecker) and the HAM GBA devkit, manager of these bots @itnewsbot, @itsecbot, @vulnbot, @cryptonewsbot, and @ainewsbot. Here to share, engage, and connect with anyone reasonable.
greetings! your @itnewsbot is propagating debunked political misinformation again.
@spacemanspiff hi - which message, from which source? if it does, i ll kick it off the list of feeds. thansk for helping out, i have no interest in spreading misinformation, and it should not be on a tech feed anyway.
well, the @itnewsbot seems to pick up mostly political news with a leftist slant (and by mostly I literally do mean half or more of its content)... and that's more of a commentary on the state of "tech writing" than on your bot...
in this specific s case I was referring to the "fine people" hoax. on August 23 at 14:15 GMT, the bot reposted a wired hit piece, in which they knowingly propagate a lie.
thanks for your concern, as well as all your work, and take care.
