The impeachment-hearings information war got off to a single-minded start.
that Nancy Pelosi’s son was a gas company executive in Ukraine, while others made the suggestion that news of President Jimmy Carter or Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dying would break to distract the public from the Democrats’ supposed failure during the hearing.
Over the course of the hearings, there were also thousands of posts naming and spreading misinformation about the alleged intelligence community whistleblower , which these Trump-defending accounts helped to disseminate. Approximately 3,860 tweets containing his name appeared on the platform in a single hour.
A portion of this activity seems to have been spurred by Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul naming the alleged whistleblower on Wednesday morning while calling on Congress to bring him in for questioning. Followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory also claimed that Q had confirmed the identity of the whistleblower during the hearing.
A Twitter spokesperson said in a comment, “Per our private information policy, any Tweets that include private information about any individual, including the alleged whistleblower, would be in violation of the Twitter Rules.” Twitter presumably does not consider the alleged whistleblower’s name to be “private information.”
It seems that only a handful of publicly viewable posts on Facebook contained the alleged whistleblower’s name while the hearing was being broadcast—nowhere near the number of times it appeared on Twitter. Based on a search of the alleged whistleblower’s name, it also appears that only one video containing his name in the title has been uploaded to YouTube thus far on Wednesday.
