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

Republican dominance of new media is the number-one reason Kamala Harris lost in 2024. Her message was drowned out by propaganda and she failed to understand how gaslit Americans were.

Here are a few graphics to keep handy next time you want to explain this to someone.

Americans' #Trust in #Media Remains at Trend Low


Trust in political and civic institutions highest for local and state #governments, lowest for media and #Congress

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!"

And in Germany still people are worried that heat pumps might not work here because it's "too cold in the winter" (when actually it rarely goes below -12°C here and in the much colder Scandinavian countries heat pumps are perfectly normal for years now).
#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.
