Criticism of Anti-Disinformation Reporting
Some critics argue that anti-disinformation reporting may not solely aim at identifying falsehoods but rather enforce narratives aligned with powerful entities' interests. Glenn Greenwald criticized the creation of the so-called anti-disinformation industry by Western intelligence agencies and billionaires after the 2016 election. He claimed its purpose was to justify political internet censorship. This criticism questions the integrity and impartiality of fact-checking entities and highlights the challenges in determining reliable information sources.
