A legal investigation into Twitter has been initiated by French prosecutors, over allegations that its algorithm is manipulated for the needs of “overseas interference.”
The probe focuses on claims that Twitter’s algorithms had been altered to distort person discourse and doubtlessly mislead customers. Hmm… as if!!!
Earlier this 12 months Elon Musk’s website 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 legal investigation can be trying into if Twitter/X fraudulently extracted knowledge from customers.
I’d wish to see extra organisations (and certainly governments) ditch Twitter/X completely, and go someplace extra constructive as a substitute. Bluesky anyone? Mastodon?
