> The fake news problem is huge on twitter now
Not really, considering the community notes generally call it out falsehoods very quickly. What a great system - Don't censor people, but do call them out for BS. Twitter is better than ever now, and people can finally get all the info to form their own opinions.
- rideontime 3y agoI liked it better when it was called BirdWatch. Glad Elon didn't trash it when he bought the place.
- anileated 3y agoTwitter community notes can be and are used to spread misinformation just like tweets themselves. It was only a matter of time until whoever wants to control the narrative learned how to influence the notes. Sometimes misleading notes are corrected, but in those cases they are just silently updated with no history preserved so there is no accountability. The one thing that could actually help identify bias (labeling tweets from accounts biased by association with, e.g., various governments, so that readers are aware and make their own judgements) Elon has killed almost immediately.
- paulpauper 3y agofake news can still on have an instant and severe impact, like on stock prices, before the correction . Community notes is still too slow.
