"As roughly 42 million Americans face the loss of food stamps this weekend, far-right influencers, extremists, and conspiracy theorists are using the crisis to push racist disinformation about who receives these benefits.
As a result of the government shutdown, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will not be funded as of November 1, according to a message on the website of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), which administers the program. While this loss of benefits could be catastrophic for millions, that hasn’t stopped the rush of disinformation. A number of conspiracy theorists and right-wing influencers are claiming that immigrants are the main recipients of food stamps, while AI-generated videos on TikTok push racist stereotypes of Black people demanding more benefits.
These claims simply do not align with reality, given that the majority of people who receive SNAP benefits are white Americans, according to data collected by the USDA. The data also shows that deep-red states like Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana are among those with the highest percentage of food stamp recipients.
(...)
A chart posted by an influential far-right X account with the screen name “The General” has boosted this conspiracy theory, suggesting that the vast majority of people in receipt of benefits are non-white immigrants, with Afghan, Somali, and Iraqi US residents making up the top three supposed recipients. This chart, which was initially published in June on a website called the Personal Finance Wizards, according to PolitiFact, is entirely fabricated. The USDA does not collect the ethnicity of SNAP recipients beyond broad categories like White, African American, and Hispanic.
USDA data shows that almost 90 percent of SNAP recipients are American-born citizens. 1.1 percent of recipients are refugees, and 3.3 percent are other noncitizens."

Once upon a time, social media were the perfect channels for advocacy and making good causes go viral. Today? Not so easy... especially for sensitive topics that might encounter some adverse algorithms. The Jessica Colotl case is the perfect example of how advocacy on social media might be at the end of the road.

just found a GREAT confirmation:
"#Socialmedia... no longer merely contain echo chambers. They become them."

of what I thought about #AI vs voting:
"#democracy may end.. bc [social media & AI] make much harder to CHANGE any idea one already had"
