X Is The Biggest Source Of Fake News And Disinformation, EU Warns::The EU also called upon Google, TikTok, Microsoft and Meta to do more to tackle disinformation—much of it coming from Russia—ahead of upcoming elections on the continent.
“Excellent”, responds Musk to himself.
Musk looks at Facebook and Nextdoor… “WE’RE #1! WE’RE #1!”
Never heard of Nextdoor. What is that?
Nextdoor? Is misinformation really being spread on a physical community app? “We had a package thief last week. I know they’re tied to Hunter Biden and the Democrats! MAGA 2024!!!”
Oh, you would be shocked. Lots of vaccine disinfo for example.
I mean, someone needs to engage with the bots on that platform and he’s certainly not going to pay someone else to do it.
Strokes cat and maniacally proclaims … . 43 BILLION dollars! Mwahaha…
That’s some high res looking pikachu, i stole it.
Crispy Pikachu
By design
I am absolutely shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
Well not that shocked
Twitter has always been the platform of smooth brains. It’s not surprising it is all full of shit.
They used to moderate. Scientific discussion there was also top tier
Twitter could be a very different experience depending on who you followed. That’s not the case anymore.
I watched a recent clip of Musk from the Rogan podcast. He was asked if regrets buying it. He felt it was his duty in a way as it was run by extreme left wing types that banned everything from less extreme left wing through the center to the far right. Musk said they were censoring a lot of right wing views. He said when you are that far left anything including regular left is too far right for moderation.
It seems like they have abandoned most moderation now expect for the things he doesn’t like. It’s not free speech for all like they claim.
I’m fine with him moderating his social media platform the way he likes since he bought it, but don’t claim its totally free speech and then do what he has been doing. I’m not a fan of the misinformation being shared there either but I don’t expect them to be as good of a resource for open and free information anyways. There’s plenty of other places for that, which are not governed by social media reaction metrics.
And the article ends in the author’s Follow me on Twitter.
Don’t you hate it when you’re trying to type and your Enter key transforms into a Fake News key?
it’s better than reaching for a semicolon and typing a russian flag again
Don’t forget people discussing the virtues of Nazism openly!
Every X user: Yeah you tell em! Huh? Me? No I use the good parts.
Then stop using it? 😅 Promote your own instance and delete every EU government account on Twitter. Cowards.

Duh
When Twitter was Twitter the same concerns were outed. Now X is Twitter minus 80% of its employees. From an economic standpoint it seems that investing in moderation doesn’t give you less concerns and complaints from the outside regarding disinformation, more extreme content, … . The advertisers have the most impact, I think. Together with the users that will look for an alternative.
Biggest so far!
