Misinformation often moves between relatives and people they trust in the American Hispanic community, with the specter of communism a common narrative 🧵
Shared among relatives and people they trust -- that is how misinformation often moves among the estimated 34.5 million Americans of Hispanic origin eligible to vote in US midterm elections on November 8, experts say, with the specter of communism a common narrative.
Vanessa Cardenas of America's Voice, an immigrants' rights organization, told AFP that purveyors of misinformation know false and misleading content can discourage electoral participation. Yet the very same information"is more credible when it comes from people you trust." Cynthia Perez of Cubanos Pa'lante, an organization that encourages"progressive Cuban-Americans" to vote in Florida, agreed."When they listen to the president, the governor, or a police officer, they don't automatically think that person is telling lies. And they believe them because they are people they trust.
As of that year, there were 1.3 million Cubans in the US, according to official data. There were more than 540,000 Venezuelans as of 2021, according to R4V, a platform for refugees and migrants from Venezuela co-led by the UN.
