This image falsely claims that Xbox said “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they’re being fooled.” This quote is often attributed to Mark Twain, but there is no evidence that Twain, or Xbox actually said it. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-mark-twain-say-its-easier-to-fool-people-than-to-convince-them-that-they-have-been-fooled/

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1687954155640381440
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
