Important to note that these pardons — which cover federal crimes that were not going to be prosecuted by the Trump administration — were announced just over an hour ago via a reply to a tweet.

This news was not shared by reporters for a while because it was missed due to the way it was announced.

隣の席の老人たちが、ずっと陰謀論を語り合っていた。

「トランプは児童売買組織と戦っている」「前回はバイデンジャンプがあったが今回は阻止できた」「コロナワクチンは人の遺伝子を脆弱化させらため海外ではすでに使われていない」「白いものは体に悪いから玄米を食べている」「オバマがこれから捕まる」などなど。

内容はどれも「いつもの」であった。男女交えてまじめに話し合っていた。みな、おしゃれな格好をし、英語が堪能であった。

BBCやCNNは信頼できない、今こんなYouTubeで勉強している、日本のマスメディアも真実を報じないーー。参加者は大いに同調しなから、雄弁に語っていた。

内容はしょうもないことばかりで、攻撃か自慢がほとんど。時折、何かの文章を投稿したと思ったら、それがフェイクだったりする。コミュニティノートはつかない。

Here's a secret: People who spew online lies may not actually believe they're true.

There's a few groups: trolls just trying to promote conflict and harass others, along with people who are making money from the lies they tell and extremists fishing for new recruits.
Some online conspiracy-spreaders don’t even believe the lies they’re spewing
These people share conspiracy theories to promote conflict, cause chaos, recruit and radicalize potential followers, make money, harass, or even just to get attention.
