C'est on ne peut plus clair !
"Il faudrait quitter #X en masse pour résoudre le problème. Tant qu’il y a encore des millions de personnes sur la plateforme, ou que les gens citent des personnalités politiques via leurs tweets publiés sur X, le réseau continuera de contaminer la société."

People are rightly upset with another Musk intervention in British politics. Yet so many Polticans, organisations and journalists still use X. Polticans and organisations should ditch the platform. Move to federated services and alternatives. Be the change they want to see. #Musk#X#Fediverse #ukpol

one of the millions of posts to think about when MAGAs and Elon etc. are saying that the left wing are the ones calling for violence
(this was apparently posted to the Libertarian Party's account by Jeremy Kauffman, an infamous race scientist and favourite of #elon. it earned him a visit from the #FBI and/or secret service, which he documented on social media)

Israel’s advertising bureau, which reports to the prime minister’s office, has embarked on a mass advertising and public messaging effort to conceal the hunger crisis. The push includes a high-dollar spending spree on paid advertising, yielding tens of millions for #Google, #YouTube, #X, #Meta, and other tech platforms.
“There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie,” asserted a propaganda video published by the #Israel foreign ministry to Google’s YouTube video platform and viewed more than 6 million times. Much of the video’s reach results from an ad placed during an ongoing and previously unreported $45M advertising campaign initiated between Google and Netanyahu’s office in June.
At least 367 Palestinians, including 131 children, have died as a result of hunger and malnutrition since the war began.

Social media is an "unhealthy online environment" 🤒
The problem lies with the business model that underpins these monopolistic platforms: they promote ragebait to rake in the money.
ORG's @jim told BBC News what needs to be done:
✅ Competition
✅ User empowerment
✅ Decentralisation

There is an interesting new report by #AmnestyInternational about how #X's business model and content #moderation failings enabled the spread of technology-facilitated gender-based violence targeting #LGBTI people on the platform in #Poland.
