I commented on this topic at another site. I think all of this begs the point, Meta, X's or any similar social media platform are not journalistic sites. Vetting of stories gets in the way of what they were designed to do; basically provide a digital arena, a digital corner bar, where people can share rumors and talk smack. Sure one might hear a useful bit of information while sipping a pint but mostly we went of to the bar to share gossip and pig pile on the boss.

The devolution and use of these sites as an end all source of information is well, unfortunate.

Like the Rule of Law and Human Rights, who sets the law, whose rights are more important, and whose speech will be free while others are not? You suck Zuck
