What has fascinated me the most about Media Law and Literacy is how much is kept from the American people. A lot of information is kept secret from us, and we can only gain access through obscure means. Our own government has a history of exploiting the rules of the Constitution to make things convenient for themselves rather the citizens. However in the second EOTO, I was able to learn a lot more that they do against their people. Group 1's presentation was about Awareness and how that is exploited. Disinformation is the act of purposefully giving the people false information about an event, not to misunderstood with misinformation which is accidental. It was a shock to hear that this happens within our country. People will get into large disputes about what's happening in the world and that can sometimes lead to violence. False flags are about the government doing something awful and pinning it on another party. This bleeds into Disinformation. From the beginning, America was supposed to be the country for their citizens to place all of their trust in. Nowadays, it feels like they are abusing their power of influence to get they want out of the people.
