Waitaminute that's the opposite of useful

Warum hält sich der Ausdruck "verified" so hartnäckig in der Berichterstattung? Das sind doch einfach nur zahlende Accounts.. wer dahinter steckt, weiß/sieht man nicht...

Its the musk cultist.. most spread his pro-russian propaganda

luluroche.bsky.social•494 days ago

musk is a danger

The BBC, for instance, is a major source of disinformation regarding this.
Define disinformation.
If disinformation is debunking the lies that Israel pumps out, well, that is not disinformation, is it.
This is the establishment, pro genocidal view.

Interestingly Newscast last night was a BBC journalist saying he had been led astray over the conflict by blue tick accounts on Twitter. Accounts he used to trust.

fritzdrybeam.bsky.social•494 days ago

The BBC have been lying through their teeth about this.
Every minute of every day.
Like every mainstream news outlet.
Up is down, and black is white.

Twitter is becoming a backwater where people pay to float around in everyone's garbage. Never connecting to the mainstream and never getting any fresh flow. Just scum.

wieso überrascht das jetzt nicht wirklich 🤔😉

I wonder how much worse this will be when he charges everyone $1 to do anything.

traviscash.bsky.social•497 days ago

He bought it to destroy it. It almost allowed a public consensus to change an election in 2016. His goal was not to make it profitable, that was a ruse. His goal is to destroy a public tool. X is for dead.

I mean, they’ve already shown they’re gullible.

sazeracla.bsky.social•496 days ago

Imagine that.

Whoever would have thought paying for air time would result in advertising rather than information.

survivalskills.bsky.social•496 days ago

There's a surprise!

frankstengel.bsky.social•497 days ago

Nooo, that can't be right. *imagine sarcastic GIF here*

Killing the truth dollar by dollar.

qnbechtel.bsky.social•497 days ago

Da scheint sich ein lange gehegter Verdacht zu bestätigen. Wer Account mit dem blauen Häkchen grundsätzlich geblockt hat, machte nicht sehr viel falsch.

stamula.bsky.social•496 days ago

Trying to sift through what was legit and what was not last week was my last straw. Deactivated my account. Hope more consider doing so too.

christophstc.bsky.social•497 days ago

did anyone also notice that for the last couple of weeks there's a steep increase of elon musk photo shoots that emphasize how ugly he actually looks?

geekgrammy.com•496 days ago

He looks even worse since he glued that dead rat on his chin.
