The worst part is that X/Twitter is deliberately not trying to help this cycle.

They pulled out of the EU Code of Practice around disinformation back in May and they have been warned as recently as yesterday that the platform was the worst of all of the social networks at allowing Russian disinformation.

And I am sure everyone who used it has seen the massive uptick in bots and other coordinated activity.

Fake news. I haven't seen any uptick in bots or coordinated activity. You might be following the wrong sort of accounts.
I don't believe that article is accurate. It's more like some guy's biased opinion than a serious quantitative analysis.

We must censor this dangerous disinformation at once! Surely we also need to establish federal oversight commissions to determine what is or is not disinformation, we can't let citizens sort this out for themselves!
