Big new paper out on Musk Twitter. Everything is worse. Already hateful users became more hateful, total hate got much worse, and there’s no improvement in the bot situation. Twitter’s facing more fines in Germany than it has in theoretical net worth.
But good news if you’re a MAGAt: Russian and Chinese propaganda and disinformation flows more freely than ever. Russia Today in particular – the English-language Putin platform – has seen sharp growth. And also good news if you’re a crypto scammer: Elon’s introducing cryptocurrency trading on the platform.
The disinformation- and alt-right propaganda firehose is working exactly as intended.
If you’re still thinking that fighting back is an option, stop deluding yourself. Musk Twitter is starting to ban people for posting Washington Post stories Elon doesn’t like. So you can keep that Twitter account exactly as long as you go along with the fash.
Today is a great day to tell your friends to leave Twitter forever.
