Dear EU: I disagree about "hosting illegal content". What we're seeing is uncomfortable and [more] unfiltered by governments. Rather than covering up what a tragedy war is, how about we work to avoid it?
If it was only about sharing graphic content I'd be on your side, but for every "uncomfortable" image you have 300 bot accounts spreading straight up fabricated images and information
The few times I go on twitter I keep wondering if it isn't just 90% bots spamming content made to trigger real users and real users believing whatever flavor of bullshit they're fed today
Twitter is the last link of information before going on CNN &co, it's garbage tier in every aspect you can think of and there are dozens of better places to see uncomfortable and unfiltered content. People think they get the truth there but they're just one layer down in the thousands layer onion of misinformation
That is my takeaway as well. Every feature of the site is abused at scale to flood the zone with shit. It's like trying to have a discussion inside of a wind tunnel.
I have no doubt a significant portion of that is true
> content made to trigger
However, this is what major news outlets do, usually at the request of a political party or faction
Of course that's why both should be avoided like the plague. Self proclaimed free thinkers who moved from fox/cnn to twitter.com/elonmusk and think the get the real truth™ are as dumb as it gets
how do you avoid it when the misinformation is intended to cause division, conflict, and war?
