Detailed investigation from Sky on how X boosts extreme right-wing content into user's feeds. Unsurprising, of course. The bigger question is why so many journalists, politicians and institutions (including SkyNews) feel the need to continue to legitimize X through their presence -- a platform that puts new accounts on a steady feed of hate the moment they sign up.

A presentation by ARCOM (the French Audiovisual & Digital regulator) reveals that "tweets" from Republicans are defined as false about twice as often as tweets from Democrats, based on #Grok-bot assessment (a = 0.691, p < 0.001) and 1.84 times as often based on #Perplexity-bot assessment (a = 0.607, p < 0.001).
(Which was not the case before Musk took over Xitter, when they were about equal.)
