Tiberius Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla allowed racial harassment of its Black employees to run rampant at its Fremont, Calif., plant and retaliated against some workers who complained, the federal agency charged with enforcing civil rights laws alleged in a lawsuit Thursday. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/tesla-workers-faced-slurs-racist-graffiti-and-retaliation-federal-suit-says/ar-AA1hpZBD#image=AA1fZWW7|1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Is anyone surprised? The Israel-Hamas War Is Drowning X in Disinformation People who have turned to X for breaking news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are being hit with old videos, fake photos, and video game footage at a level researchers have never seen. “For many reasons, this is the hardest time I’ve ever had covering a crisis on here,” Justin Peden, an OSINT researcher from Alabama known online as the Intel Crab, posted on X. “Credible links are now photos. On the ground news outlets struggle to reach audiences without an expensive blue check mark. Xenophobic goons are boosted by the platform’s CEO. End times, folks.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) 22 minutes ago, Doc said: So...no different than before Musk... Reading is fundamental: ”When Peden covered the escalation in Gaza in 2021, the sources he was seeing in his feed were from people on the ground or credible news agencies. This weekend, he says, verified content or primary sources were virtually impossible to find on X. “It’s getting incredibly hard to find people that actually live in Palestine or in southern Israel,” Peden tells WIRED. “It’s been incredibly hard to find their preliminary information and share their videos and photos. You have this perfect storm where on the ground, preliminary sources are not being amplified, especially those that maybe don’t speak English, which is a large majority of users in that area.” Boosted by the algorithm that promotes users willing to pay X $8 a month for a premium subscription, posts from those with a blue checkmark shot to the top of news feeds for people seeking information about the conflict. Rather than being shown verified and fact-checked information, X users were presented with video game footage passed off as footage of a Hamas attackand images of firework celebrations in Algeria presented as Israeli strikes on Hamas. There were faked pictures of soccer superstar Ronaldo holding the Palestinian flag, while a three-year-old video from the Syrian civil war repurposed to look like it was taken this weekend.” Edited October 9, 2023 by ChiGoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
