Ben Quinn, Guardian writer, age 40ish (?), today:
Fears for UK boomer radicalisation on Facebook after Meta drops factcheckers – For middle-aged users, it will be ‘even harder to discern the truth’ among extremist content, expert says. Experts fear the decision by Meta to drop professional factcheckers from Facebook will exacerbate so-called boomer radicalisation in the UK.
Even before what Keir Starmer described as “far-right riots” in England last summer, alarm bells were ringing amid fears older people were even more susceptible to misinformation and radicalisation than younger “digital natives”.
Boomers, middle-aged, what?
Boomers, post-war Baby Boomers, born 1946 to 1964, currently 60 to 80ish?
Middle-aged, currently 30-50ish?
He’s confused about age. Does he mean this lot?
More Gen X, punks, born in 60s?
He’s confused about nationality too. Remind me of the riots in Scotland? Oh yes, none because too few here were taken in by Tommy Robinson of the English Defence League’s social media posts.

too be fair, probably just a totally insular, naive, uneducated Guardian journo. Totally unaware of the existence of a separate nation way to the north of Watford Gap!

And what of the Britnit Zoomers who are radicalised by the BBC, Hootsmon, Mail, Torygraf, Record, Times et al, into being unable to “discern the truth” among the dross of UKOK propaganda passing as news—with zero fact checking, context or perspective.
“Hitlers plane found on Moon”.
Sarwar, “a Musk-like superhuman and ruler of Scotland…for eternity”.
Dame Jaikie–“I did not eat the last biscuit, or stab Leonard in the back”!
Cauld-Ham…”You can save the economy by renting out my hut for a paltry £10,000 per week”.
BEEB Hootsmon breaking news….Arran Seer—-“I dreamt the ferries all sunk, and I could not get to the dentist”.
Wee Brian Wislon….”I wiz thon Minister who sang Rebel songs in Hillsborough castle, and support a United Ireland and an all-powerful England, but am NOT a Nat”!……….. “Honest, and gawd bless yon Queenie”.
