The moves may be too little too late."The technology has generally done more to help those who purvey this misinformation than those trying to defend against it," says Travis Trammell, an active-duty Army lieutenant colonel who earlier this year received a science and engineering doctorate from Stanford."I can't think of anything that has had such nefariously disruptive impact on the United States."University physicist, agrees.
Another insight: While the pedophilia and human-trafficking claims remain the heart of the QAnon fantasy, the movement is drawing a lot of its members from the antivax movement, and more recently from"plandemic" followers, who believe"elites" plotted to cause the current pandemic."A big theme among people who go down these rabbit holes is they're inclined to mistrust authorities," says Gallagher. QAnon seems to make room for all of them, she adds.
Big Tech failed to contain the spread. Facebook's"War Room," on October 17, 2018, in Menlo Park, California. The room is Facebook's nerve center for fighting misinformation and manipulation of the largest social network by foreign actors trying to influence elections in the United States and elsewhere.
One thing they get is dopamine, the brain's pleasure chemical. Brain studies have shown that when people see information that confirms their belief in something that isn't true, they get a large dopamine hit. QAnon also provides a simple way to look at an otherwise baffling world and confers ready acceptance into a community."Conspiracy theories make sense of the world," says Kavanagh.
Sherry Pagoto, a psychologist and social-media expert at the University of Connecticut, has been developing solutions built around those very strategies of resonant messages delivered by trusted messengers. She hasn't tackled QAnon head on, but instead has focused her lab on winning over those who have been taken in by health misinformation—a group that has some overlap with QAnoners, given the latter's ties to the antivax and COVID-is-a-hoax communities.
Trammell's work has shown, for example, that QAnon has"superspreaders"—people who connect widely online, pulling in large numbers of converts. But online superspreaders have much more reach than their real-world disease counterparts because they don't have to limit their infectiousness to those they're physically near. As with COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, quarantines can help, according to his research.

dhfreedman SCUD-B was used in the Iran-Iraq war, Gulf war, Soviet-Afghan war. In 2020, it has been used against the civil population in GanjaCity, a region far away from the conflict zone. Strict measures should be taken against the terroristic attacks of Armenian aggressors!!
