“Prebunking could help communities reach a kind of herd immunity when it comes to misinformation”
According to a report from the Associated Press, Google is stepping up its so called “prebunking” scheme, a way of stopping ‘misinformation’ before it spreads by indoctrinating people to disbelieve what tech big wigs consider to be ‘propaganda’.

The report, which reads like a press release, states that Google is to push several short video ads on all major social media platforms that will focus on ‘misinformation’ surrounding vaccines, COVID-19, immigration, climate change and elections.
The scheme is being rolled out initially in Germany after it was previously tested in Eastern Europe.

Beth Goldberg, head of research and development at Jigsaw, an incubator division of Google stated that “Using ads as a vehicle to counter a disinformation technique is pretty novel. And we’re excited about the results.”
The report further states:
While belief in falsehoods and conspiracy theories isn’t new, the speed and reach of the internet has given them a heightened power. When catalyzed by algorithms, misleading claims can discourage people from getting vaccines, spread authoritarian propaganda, foment distrust in democratic institutions and spur violence.
It also notes that ‘fact checks’ by the likes of AP “aren’t read by everyone, and won’t convince those already distrustful of traditional journalism.”
“Content moderation by tech companies is another response, but it only drives misinformation elsewhere, while prompting cries of censorship and bias,” the report continues.
As reported by Infowars last year, in its testing of the “prebunking” scheme, Google used a video created by Infowars producer Greg Reese, and admitted that the goal is to make people immune to anti-establishment figures such as Alex Jones.
