Twitter is driven by user-generated content, allowing anyone to share information and opinions without journalistic standards. This can make it hard to distinguish reliable news from misinformation, which can have negative effects. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/26/eu-warns-elon-musk-that-twitter-x-must-comply-with-fake-news-laws https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01587-3 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07942-8 https://www.science.org/content/article/fake-news-spreads-faster-true-news-twitter-thanks-people-not-bots https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/twitter-x-riots-elon-musk-b2592074.html https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2024/how-elon-musk-twitter-takeover-accelerated-misinformation
