Woman jailed for fake news tweet so beware of posting fake news. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/09/woman-who-posted-fake-name-of-southport-attacker-destroyed/
Interesting that it says it "destroyed her" and not that it caused much public harm or contributed to rioting etc. She lives in a million-pound farm house near Chester etc yada yada.

It’s high time people were held to account for shouting “fire!” in a theater when there is no fire.

You would have thought so ^^^. Meanwhile can't Elon check before he retweets?

@congruent saidMaybe Elon could also be held legally liable. He deliberately removed all the safeguards Twitter had to stop the spread of misinformation.

Prior to Musk buying the website that woman's tweet would likely have been flagged as misinformation (or even blocked) which could've prevented the damage her tweet caused.
@congruent saidElon Musk can't even be bothered to check to see if the condom is still on.

@congruent saidMusk is a textbook case of smart people who make dumb mistakes.

Trump on the other hand is just a dumb person who makes dumb mistakes.
@sonhouse saidPeople there can post on anything, even if they know nothing about it. (And most do.)
@Suzianne
One I missed🙂
I stuck in Quora review and just about the only thing I found was a really large bunch of Quora 'reviews' and not much independent analysis.
I admit not knowing much about that site.
It's paradise for someone like Metal Brain.
