Billionaire non-citizens from outside your contries
now buying up your local media and dropping orgs
to propagandize and indoctrinate you out of freedom
and into their globalist regime where you'll be as
non-free as all the SocCom's before. If they really gave
a shit, they'd just pay you and leave you alone, but
no, instead it's about creating entrenching new SocCom
system largesse over you.

They're also buying all your houses and farmland,
look it up, because you know... central planning
always works, even better at the global level, lol.

Anything calling themselves "GoodInfo", and to be fair
"TruthSocial", are obviously going to be very far from it.




Billionaires To Fund "Anti-Disinformation" Media Companies To "Restore
Social Trust"

Billionaires Reid Hoffman and George Soros are backing a public
benefit corporation that will provide funding to new media companies
aimed at tackling disinformation online and restoring social trust.

Good Information Inc. launched on Tuesday and is being led by former
Democratic strategist Tara McGowan who previously ran a progressive
non-profit called ACRONYM, which was backed by LinkedIn founder
Hoffman. Others contributing to the multi-million seed effort include
investors Ken and Jen Duda, and Incite Ventures.

In a press release on Oct. 26, Good Information Inc said its aim is to
“restore social trust” and “strengthen democracy” by “investing in
solutions that counter disinformation and increase the flow of good
information online.”

    “America is currently in the throes of a disinformation epidemic
that is threatening public health, social trust, and democracy around
the world. Good Information Inc. believes there is un-met audience
demand for fact-based information, especially in local markets that
have lost many of their legacy local news sources in recent years, and
among audiences that are being left behind by evolving media business
models,” the corporation said in a statement.

Good Information Inc. will be investing in media outlets that provide
customers with trusted and fact-based information, as well as local
community news, particularly in markets where there are little to no
local news outlets reaching online communities.

The company said that an “increasingly decentralized media
environment, anti-democracy forces, and networks of bad actors” have
resulted in “dangerous consequences,” noting that 96 million Americans
believe the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump,
while 89 million Americans believe voter fraud is a major problem.

Trump has maintained that there was “massive voter fraud” in the 2020 elections.

    “Good information that upholds the truth, common sense, and shared
values of a society is the lifeblood of democracy, and orchestrated
disinformation—fueled and amplified by bias-driven algorithms—is its
greatest threat. The disinformation crisis we are facing in America
today is increasing polarization and eroding our trust in each other,
which is having a corrosive effect on our democracy, jeopardizing
public health, and destabilizing our economy,” founder and CEO McGowan
said in a statement.

    “This is no longer a political dispute about the truth, but the
direct result of unregulated business models that are putting whole
communities around the world at risk, and putting democracy around the
world in peril.”

McGowan’s former progressive non-profit, ACRONYM, ran one of the
biggest digital campaigns—costing $100 million—aimed at convincing
millions of Americans to vote against Donald Trump in the 2020
elections, Fast Company reports.

One of the companies ACRONYM invested in, called Shadow, produced the
vote tabulation app used in the Iowa caucuses and contributed to the
delayed reporting of the results following a string of technical
issues.

McGowan later apologized for the incident, telling Axios that the
Shadow team, “made an enormous mistake that has dire consequences in
this election and so we want to own that.”

As its first major investment, Good Information Inc. has officially
acquired Courier Newsroom, a civic media company composed of eight
state-based news outlets.

Pat Kreitlow, who co-founded Courier’s Wisconsin news outlet
UpNorthNews, said in a statement that the company is “extremely happy
to be the first investment of Good Information’s portfolio.”

“We are seeing unparalleled threats to our country’s democracy and a
free press today—threats so grave that the long-running fight against
misinformation seems almost quaint as we confront outright
disinformation from people preying upon Americans fears and anxieties
to push their own agenda or profit margins,” Kreitlow said.
