Apple is announcing its AI product “Apple Intelligence” and gave an example of how you can wish you friend Happy Birthday with an AI generated image of them

“i swear my employees just created this video for me urging shareholders to vote to give me billions of dollars after i laid off thousands of their coworkers
i didn’t have anything to do with it, honest!”

under Elon Musk’s own redefined “doxxing” policy, identifying these individuals would get you suspended on his platform

Elon Musk & X just announced that they'd help pay legal fees for a Canadian doctor to defend her against efforts to "cancel her speech"
but X left out a major detail
the doctor is the one who filed the lawsuit to silence her critics' speech (and lost) https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-to-support-covid-vaccine-skeptic-kulvinder-kaur-gill-lawsuit

my piece on X / Twitter suspending users who post the name tied to far right comic creator StoneToss
Elon Musk's recent policy changes:
posting the identity of right-wing users = suspension
posting the identity of trans users = personal support from Musk

new: noticed an uptick in bots on X / Twitter? you're not alone.
new data provided to me by one cybersecurity firm found:
➡️ nearly 76% of traffic from X to its clients' sites was fake during Super Bowl weekend
no other platform came close to that

you aren’t actually doing crime

Elon Musk is so mad about all the advertisers fleeing X, he announced he’s going to sue Media Matters
and in his statement, he appears to confirm the accuracy of their reports in an attempt to downplay it
good luck with that lawsuit

nearly every thing that's gone viral on Twitter over the past few days has been wrong
people reported dead who are actually alive
video game footage shared claiming to show real bombings
photos shared with the complete opposite context of what's actually depicted

Twitter / X is serving users with a new ad format that can't be blocked or reported
the ads aren't even actual X posts & aren't connected to any X accounts. they do not disclose that they are ads
it appears the ads are connected to clickbait ad networks

something that's been somewhat overlooked by most everyone talking about Twitter / X CEO Linda Yaccarino's disaster interview this week:
the platform has lost millions of *daily active users* since Elon Musk acquired the company https://mashable.com/article/twitter-x-daily-active-users-drop-under-elon-musk

2023-09-28 14:54:40

an incredible tweet from Musk
the funeral assistance that AOC is referencing here is re: COVID-19 deaths
…something that Elon Musk himself consistently spreads massive disinformation & anti-vaccine sentiment about
contributing to the very deaths he’s telling her to prevent

Twitter / X hasn’t hidden view metrics for livestreams like they did for video
here’s Elon Musk with Netanyahu, which Musk promoted numerous times today
327k video views vs. 3.4 million post views
video views are less than 10% of the public post views (impressions) metric
https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/087/940/277/291/657/original/1ca80310a0bc48b1.png

2023-09-17 17:42:30

Elon Musk is now explicitly lying about what the public view metric is displaying on the platform he owns
it is impressions, the number of times a post shows up on users’ feeds
it is not the number of times a video is viewed. it’s nowhere near that.

have you seen a post from a brand account you don't follow show up on your X / Twitter feed?
it may be an ad that's not being disclosed
multiple users are reporting that they are being served paid ads that aren't being labeled as ads by X

➡️ Nick Fuentes helps trend #BanTheADL

➡️ users start seeing this white supremacist ad on X:

those 230+ million views touted by Donald Trump for his Tucker Carlson on X interview?
that’s tweet views & it misrepresents the video view count by 215+ million views
the actual video view count as of now is 14.5 million views of 2 seconds or more

a recent system upgrade at Reddit removed all users' live chats and messages from before 2023
and the result wasn't a mistake or a bug either https://mashable.com/article/reddit-removes-live-chat-archives-messages

2023-07-07 19:51:17

when Threads launched, a number of right wing accounts with a history of posting misinformation on other platforms were flagged with a warning label informing users that they “repeatedly posted false information”
however, it appears Threads has now removed these labels
a Meta spokesperson told Donald Trump Jr. that his account was flagged in “error” and that it’s since “been fixed”

Twitter is threatening legal action against Meta over Threads
in November, Elon Musk mocked laid off Twitter employees, saying “their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere”
well, apparently some went to Meta to build Threads & Musk now has a problem with that
