... that the NewsFront website evaded a Facebook ban by posting its content at "mirror" URLs? Source: [1] "Through a network of 'mirror sites,; websites that are identical to the original NewsFront website but use innocuous domain names, NewsFront has continued to push content on Facebook and Twitter,"
ALT1 ... that the NewsFront website evaded a 2020 Facebook ban with mirror and cloaking websites? Source: [2] "strategies applied by NewsFront to bypass the takedown. One of them was mirroring; it consisted in creating a network of websites that were identical in content and form – including photos and other visuals – to the original NewsFront site, but used innocuous domain names...the third tool used by NewsFront was cloaking (or masking) domains."
QPQ Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Hi Jolly Monument

Created by HouseOfChange (talk). Self-nominated at 07:07, 10 March 2022 (UTC).[reply]

New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook facts check out. Tone is neutral, likely to be negative because of negativity in RSs. Not seeing other issues but did add a few copyedits and a citation template. Thanks for writing this up HouseOfChange; articles like this often help combat disinfo because we appear so highly in search results. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:22, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
