Mark Cuban is also doing a lot (like a surprising amount) to combat social media misinfo.
Thank you for saying that! Some nonetheless felt we spoke too soon. Outside of very urgent issues (pandemic misinfo), something that might be retraction or correction worthy (i.e. not a disagreement) can usually go to the journal first to see how it plays out.
honestly, spreading misinfo that is corrected in the article is some hateful and willfully ignorant shit!
That's on them at that point. I understand *WHY* they're still over there and don't fault them for it. But it is sad that it's still valued in that way. Me personally, I stopped caring much about the site once I left in January cuz of it's misinfo and making me feel like shit all the time.
I love them, but... isn't the whole "it's named after Lorena" thing Tik-Tok misinfo given that they've been called Bobbit worms since before she was even born???
I know my state’s government does shady stuff. Removal of 747K voter registrations (not voters) reported recently (took place over 20 months) may not be among them. More here. www.yahoo.com/news/misinfo...
No, North Carolina did not remove 750,000 voters from the rolls to “steal” the election. The reality is far more routine.
@vetehinen I've never understood the foreign influence concern. misinfo and bias comes from everywhere, and we should want to hear arguments from people who our government is biased against.
How cute!!! How is fascism doing this election? Women's bodily autonomy? Sedition? Corrupt Supreme Court? Foreign intelligence misinfo ops to help the fascist win? The fascist and his team's own lies and assaults on women? WAKE UP NPR...IF HE WINS YOU ARE AMONG THE 1ST TO THE CAMPS FFS!!!
what US pressure looks like when they actually want to put pressure on people, it looks like sanctions, freezing assets, and arming opponents. It's very nice for you that anyone who demands that you engage with reality, and the real actions actually being taken, must be a secret AI misinfo bot!
