Comment on Europe gives Elon Musk 24 hours to respond about Israel-Hamas war misinformation and violence on X
FISHNETS@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months agoI would argue a major difference between misinformation on some place like Lemmy and misinformation on Twitter, is that Musk as owner of Twitter is amplifying this misinformation. Elon Musk frequently replies to people spreading misinfo and shouts out their accounts.

What if it was some other celebrity with similarly large following doing that on some other platform?
I don’t quite buy that explanation. Basically the same thing is happening elsewhere too but instead of it being done by a single individual it’s done by many. The end result is just the same.
