What to do if you accidentally post or boost something fake and it gets a bunch of boosts before you find out? Do you edit the toot or delete it?
On Twitter we had a decent system. You screenshot your own tweet and post a new message with the screenshot saying it was fake. Then you delete the original. This way, you have a mea culpa, you inform people of the fake and you stop the spread.
Since we can edit here does that change things? Do edits always propagate fast enough?

Social Media propaganda, in particular on #X, #Facebook, and #Instagram can probably have cost #KamalaHartis2024 the #US presidency!*
👉The #EU urgently needs to pull the plug on #ElonMusk's private right-wing #PropagandaChannel #X, formerly #Twitter, before rightwing #FakeNews narratives destroy #European democracies in the same way it happened in the #USA.
This must be done before Jan 20
Desinformation vor US-Wahl: Maßgeschneidert und zielgerichtet

In an age of #fake news, #propaganda, #maga, #Twitter #bots and Russian #troll factories, we actually need trustworthy journalism. I must once again explicitly point out that the principle of "trust nobody" does not mean no longer believing official sources and only consuming unfiltered news from Russian-controlled #Telegram channels and basing your world view on them.
"Trust nobody but don't stop thinking - if you belive the earth is flat you are far beyond a border no one should pass!"

Americans' Trust in Media Remains at Trend Low
Americans' confidence in the media is at its lowest point, as Democrats' confidence is near the record low and Republicans' is almost nonexistent.by Megan Brenan (Gallup)
#Fakenews have even led some to rush and buy new gas heating because they were made to believe the Green party would plan on banning them.
#FossilFuels lobbying is on a wild rampage here since the Greens are part of the government.
