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?
I briefly used it. It connects you to all of your neighbors. It’s good for knowing what’s going on in your community.
Also good for finding out how many racists live near you.
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 is the crispest Pikachu face I have ever seen.

Isn’t the amount of downvotes a sign of presence of US/EU bots here?
By design
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.
I am absolutely shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
Well not that shocked

Restricting the internet based on where you happen to live can only end badly.
Their troll farms were in Lithuania and Ukraine, and I’m not sure where they are now.
If they can’t contact their troll farms, they won’t be able to give new orders.
They could always send carrier pigeons with new orders.
IPoAC was created for such an eventuality.
55% packet loss. Could be worse though.
With Russia cut off the internet, Europe and US will have to begin to be blaming themselves for everything.
Found one
You too?
noncredible take: musk is a us gov sock puppet and if x is like this then its because that allowes 3 letter agencys to lure certein ppl in security to speak so they can be tracked better.

This would be plausible if there weren’t so many examples of the FBI utterly failing to pick up on strings of red flags on social media.
u saying there isnt the all seeing eye of the 3 letter agencys on everone online?
we may be biassed cause we only hear about those who slip thru the cracks
Why should it be acceptable for them to spy on everyone if they’re not even going to successfully catch people who openly declare they will be violent, for days before the event? When people called the FBI to inform them the person might do something, the FBI responded with, “they’re already on a list”.
Yea… no. If they aren’t catching ALL of the blatantly obvious ones … fuck them. You don’t get to run the show and then shit the bed.
Don’t forget people discussing the virtues of Nazism openly!
And the article ends in the author’s Follow me on Twitter.
Then stop using it? 😅 Promote your own instance and delete every EU government account on Twitter. Cowards.
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
Every X user: Yeah you tell em! Huh? Me? No I use the good parts.
This just in: Apparently, Lemmy was not included in the evaluation. lmao
Trying to correct misinformation on Lemmy be like:
I think many people prefer their own bubble over the harsh reality.
