“This investigation suggests that the riots were enabled by a pattern of disinformation promoted by far-right influencers with ties to many of the same people involved in the violent insurrection on Capitol Hill four years ago, using tech platforms owned by some of Trump’s most ardent supporters – including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel… Robinson’s connections with Byrne and Messerschmidt, and the amplification of his false claims via key technology platforms controlled by Trump donors, suggest that Britain’s far-right riots were orchestrated by an international far-right network. To acknowledge legitimate concerns around the riots, this reality – and the grave threat it poses to British national security and community cohesion – should be at the top of the list.” Also see.
