alvvayson@lemmy.world 1 year agoWay too often, news sites primarily rely on twitter.
For example, yesterday I wanted to know which countries voted against the UN resolution. I used Google, found a news site with the info, but it was an embedded tweet with an image.
And to enlarge the tweet, I had to click on it and it opened the tweet on Twitter.
Same is also true for a lot of videos on what’s happening in Gaza or Ukraine.

I think it’s important that we start openly treating stories that are “tweeted” as dubious. Twitter is a platform that promotes fascism, racism, misogyny, anti-semitism, homophobia, bigotry and other conservative ideologies. It should be treated as the nefarious latrine of lies that it is.
