I took into account that it could be fake news / exaggerated (and if I scrolled down I would have seen what Happybeing has posted). I encountered yesterday also some other trending topics on Twitter which are almost certainly fake news (or mostly), like #anonymous: related with Epstein, Trump, princess Diana etc…
@happybeing you’re correct, it depends of course how you use Twitter, like is the case with a lot of other things. The trending topics is certainly something to be very careful with to interpret in times like these.
With the current climate in the USA the number of conspiracy theories, efforts of influencing the opinion of others etc is very high (maybe not always that consciously: tensions/emotions are big), which is also visible in the trends on Twitter. In current smartphone times everybody can film. But you have to take into account that this can be staged, relevant parts edited out (like the part where you provoke the police) etc… I guess most of who read this post do that. But how many people who see that on Twitter do that? And what effect will that have? And what if Trump sees that these were trending topics: Donald Trump Is Creating Twitter And Facebook’s Worst Nightmare?

Lucky all those American rednecks are armed against government overreach and the imposition of martial law.

I’m guessing Trump threatening with martial law ( to show that he is not weak probably ) could have something to do with his bunker visit yesterday and maybe the ‘bullying’ of him that followed on Twitter. Trump doesn’t use Twitter wisely, it seems to me.

That and also not letting a good crisis go to waste. Anyway, bye America, where I lived for a while. It was nice knowing you. You gave the world some much needed energy and positivity (so long as you didn’t happen to live in Guatemala, Chile, Nicaragua, Granada, Vietnam etc). You really had something going for a bit but now you’ve f**ked it and we’re over.

Don’t use Chrome browser, use Firefox, Chromium, DuckDuckGo browsers.

Don’t use Google except when you really have to.

Now owned by Google I’ve been told

Startpage.com is still good and better in my opinion

I can’t find any evidence for that. Maybe due to confusion over ownership of Duck.com? Google used to own that but relinquished it to DuckDuckGo.

Yeah, not owned by Google, but they do have some sort of relationship with Yahoo/Verizon in that they use Yahoo search results. Startpage uses Google results which are obfuscated so they can’t be tracked, but recently a majority share was bought by System1, an advertising company. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/di5rn3/startpage_is_now_owned_by_an_advertising_company/
