Everyone’s worried about AI-generated disinformation.
But in 2024, most election lies were handcrafted, not machine-made.
The tactics weren’t futuristic.
They were familiar.
Old tools, new context. Let’s unpack.

You might think disinformation stops once the votes are cast.
It doesn’t.
In the 2024 EU elections, false narratives evolved after election day—casting doubt on results, fueling outrage, and reframing losses as theft.

Of the 278 fact-checked false stories during the EU elections, many gained reach not through origin—but through repetition by high-visibility actors.
“Climate tyranny.”
“Meat bans.”
“EU green plots to control your life.”
In 2024, climate change wasn’t just debated—it was distorted.
Disinformation turned green policy into political fuel.
Let’s look at how.
#Disinformation #ClimateDenial #EUElections2024
Election disinfo rarely says: “vote for this person.”
It says: “be afraid of that one.”
And nothing fuels fear faster than a scapegoat.
Next: climate denial goes mainstream.
#Disinformation #MigrationMyths #EUElections2024 #CivicResilience
They said:
“Migrants are invading.”
“They’re violent.”
“They’re collapsing our systems.”
In the 2024 EU elections, false stories about migration were a central disinfo weapon—targeted, emotional, and deeply local.

Next: how disinformation weaponized migration.

Takeaway?
Elections aren’t just national events.
They’re networked battlegrounds.
Disinformation doesn’t respect borders—and it doesn’t need to.
Next up: the dominant narrative across the entire map—fraud.
#Disinformation #ElectionIntegrity #EUElections2024
Yesterday we opened the archive.
278 confirmed falsehoods.

#Thread on the stupidly overrated @piratenpartei.de - #PPDE:
As everyone knows, it's fully embraced Israeli #Apartheid; its officials on X spew #anti-Palestinian hate 24/7. How well has this worked for them? They suffered a crushing defeat in the #EUelections2024, getting 0,47% of the vote. [1/12]

🌍 Young voters are shaping Europe's future! Far-right parties are gaining ground, especially with young men, while economic struggles drive their vote. Will this trend sway the 2024 elections? #EUElections2024 #YouthVote

2024 European Parliament election echoes Rosa Luxemburg: “Socialism or regression into barbarism.” The Left – GUE/NGL, Party of the European Left, Nordic Green Left Alliance, European Anti-Capitalist Left, Now the People, & Animal Politics EU – must counter rising fascist forces. #EUelections2024
