   Israel-Hamas war has X and its users swimming in sea of disinformation

   Flooded with old videos and video game footage, X is a bad place to stay informed.

     @arstechnica I went over there this weekend to see what was going on, not about the war, just about things in general.
     I was immediately overrun with a hundred posts by my friends there who were misinformed about and misinterpreting the war.

     X is a dangerous platform and should be dissolved.

     @arstechnica I wonder if Elon and his marketing pimps wanted to *try* rebranding Twitter as ‘x’ so that everyone still trying to get their hardcover on TV could say ‘ex’ instead of ‘the internet’ when circle jerking to their irrelevance. We knew the blog pimps (social media) were COMING FOR YOU ALL back when Tom sold MySpace.

     @arstechnica Can't believe human machine collective on Xwitter could be this fallible. Almost like it needs moderation or something.

     @arstechnica X is a bad place. Full stop. No content moderation, no fact checking, nazi ideology spread by the owner who manipulates the algorithm out of self interest.. Should I go on?

     @arstechnica That depends on who you follow and how advanced is your blocking technique.
