Musk’s X Is Biggest Outlet of Russia Disinformation, EU Says
- thegrim33 3y agoThere's a supreme irony in the propaganda machine using all of their typical disgusting tricks to call someone else a propaganda outlet
- EricE 3y agoLies don't need FUD - fastest way to figure out what's really going on.
- melesian 3y agoThe EU is a democratically constituted association of democracies committed to collective action in shared interests. Your assertion that it is a propaganda machine and use of hyperbole like supreme irony is juvenile nonsense. You don't like unregulated capitalism? Too bad.
- foverzar 3y agoIt's juvenile to believe that powerful state-like entity of EU scale does not have functional propaganda institutions. I guess some people don't like connotations of the word and assume it's only applicable to systemic distribution of "wrong" points of view.

- helge9210 3y agoI did notice some groups of accounts synchronously shift into Russian-Ukraine war topic while posting previously on some unrelated subjects (like crypto, stocks in general, internal US politics, health, etc.)
- eggy 3y agoIt's not like the Russian-Ukrainian war is a niche, disconnected topic. With 0.135 trillion USD given to Ukraine, it does affect every sector like "crypto, stocks in general, internal US politics, health, etc." How did you notice this "synchronous shift"?
- helge9210 3y agoIt's the first time I saw someone counting it in trillions. When certain (randomly picked by me) set of accounts for a year talks about "gender something...", "man something else...", "2nd Amendment...", "new use of chat AI..." or just some memes and all together (perceived by me empirically) start to translate "Instead of sending help to Ukraine Biden should send help to deal with Hawaii/SF fentanyl.../South border...", I jump to conclusions. Without mentioning Ukraine all these problems are real and do require some form of government intervention. The moment Ukraine appears in the discourse it makes one wonder how shipping M142 HIMARS or MGM-140 ATACMS to Hawaii would help.

- kaiokendev 3y agoWouldn't any largest online discourse location be the biggest outlet of disinformation?
- dragontamer 3y agoX is smaller than Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, TikTok, Snapchat. I'd expect, all else being equal, for Facebook to be the biggest source of disinformation by the nature of being like 10x bigger than Twitter/X.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoYet FB bans people who displays hate speed against Russians...
- CrzyLngPwd 3y agoIt is/was also the biggest outlet for UK, USA, French, German, covid ... disinformation.
- unsupp0rted 3y agoYeah, I'm starting to suspect just anybody can come along and post on X.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoUnless they disagree with Lord Elno
- tjrgergw 3y agoIn this thread: enlightened centrists.
- ajhurliman 3y agoIs that supposed to be a dig? So you’re advocating for zealotry? Weird take.
- aaroninsf 3y agoSounds like someone's getting their KPI-based bonus this quarter!
- redder23 3y agoTerrifying, how dare he let anybody use his platform. Its also not true. Elon is a liar when he claims that X is a free speech platform.
- redder23 3y agoTranslation: EU is butthurt Elon is pushing against the "we use companies to censor things that critique us that we could not outlaw just yet".
