Fake news across the board in social media[0]. The pre-Musk regime did the opposite.

- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoFake news is highly subjective, and frankly a university study from “disinformation experts” isn’t something I would put much faith in, let alone their opinion being laundered through a Guardian headline. It’s obvious that many political opinions on controversial topics (BLM, trans issues, lab leak, illegal immigration, etc) were censored as a matter of policy in the past. Opinions from the left were allowed because these companies mostly employ people with a left bias. To deny any of this is just dishonest gaslighting, and all the “disinformation experts” won’t convince everyone who has been subject to that censorship. And then there’s all that the Twitter Files revealed, which goes further than just self selected censorship regimes.
