After Elon Musk bought Twitter, now X, he dismantled its system to flag false election content. Musk, who has spread misinformation himself on X, said the system amounted to election interference, raising alarms among experts and election administrators.
Civil rights lawyers and Democrats are sounding alarms about Mr. Musk’s claims about voting. The Biden campaign called his posts “profoundly irresponsible.”
Please stop posting there. It's going to be a fountain of misinformation during the campaign, and responsible journalists should not be propping it up and maintaining its legitimacy in the eyes of others.
Stop calling it X. Have some self respect.
New slogan: "X is the heart of toXic"
Stupid asshole destroyed Twitter when he bought it. This election is gonna be a mess on there.
Republicans and the right-wing people are living by lies and misinformation. Musk is nothing but their tool, buying Twitter was a step in the plan by the far right to turn over public opinion. They and their braindead fans love the idea to lie freely without consequence. That's their whole policy.
Yeah, that's what he wanted.
That Twitter is said to have had a flag system for false election content??
brb setting up 200 bots that post AI generated images of Trump sitting in a underground base surrounded by crying child slaves with Eppstein lurking in the background. Its gonna take 10 seconds for the system to be reimplemented when it hits the "Wrong side." from Musks POV.
Musk is not sincere. 🤨
No shit?! Same reason he put the streaming API behind a $42,000/month paywall, instantly killing all ongoing academic and private research into platform manipulation dynamics and misinformation monitoring. Extremism researchers are largely flying blind.
