Musk didn’t just flood the platform with bad actors, conspiracy theorists, disinformation disseminators & propagandists, he gave them the (imperfect but effective) verification mark that had previously been reserved for proven trusted sources. And now we reap what he sowed.
Obvs this was hilarious; it’s my case study in poor UX design in my module in Immersive Media in @UUScreen but did we ever dig a little deeper into who actually designed and built this for @GOVUK? Is this something I can find out through an FOI?
