A prison investigation into Twitter has been initiated by French prosecutors, over allegations that its algorithm is manipulated for the needs of “international interference.”
The probe focuses on claims that Twitter’s algorithms had been altered to distort consumer discourse and probably mislead customers. Hmm… as if!!!
Earlier this 12 months Elon Musk’s web site was accused of spreading “an unlimited quantity of hateful, racist, anti-LGBT+ and homophobic political content material, which goals to skew the democratic debate in France.”
The prison investigation can be wanting into if Twitter/X fraudulently extracted knowledge from customers.
I’d prefer to see extra organisations (and certainly governments) ditch Twitter/X completely, and go someplace extra constructive as a substitute. Bluesky anyone? Mastodon?
