Venice Film Festival Artistic Director Alberto Barbera has announced that he is quitting the X platform in response to recent statements by Elon Musk. “After the latest statements by the owner of Twitter (or rather of X, sorry), I have definitely lost the desire (already weakened) to remain on a platform, the objectives and purposes of which I no longer share,” Barbera wrote. In a follow-up post, Barbera thanked his followers: “We will meet again perhaps elsewhere, in the spaces of the internet not yet enslaved to the ‘oddities’ of a single person.” Barbera did not share which exact statements...

Washington (AFP) - False or misleading US election claims posted on X by Elon Musk have amassed nearly 1.2 billion views this year, a watchdog reported Thursday, highlighting the billionaire's potential influence on the highly polarized White House race. Ahead of the November election, researchers have raised alarm that X, formerly Twitter, is a hotbed of political misinformation. They have also flagged that Musk, who purchased the platform in 2022 and is a vocal backer of Donald Trump, appears to be swaying voters by spreading falsehoods on his personal account. Researchers from the Center fo...

Washington (AFP) - Five US states sent an open letter Monday to Elon Musk, urging him to fix his social media platform X's AI chatbot after it shared misinformation about the upcoming presidential election. The letter comes as researchers express concern that the influential site, formerly named Twitter, is a hotbed of political misinformation, while Musk -- who has endorsed Donald Trump -- appears to be swaying voters ahead of the November election by spreading falsehoods on his personal account, which has nearly 193 million followers. Hours after President Joe Biden stepped down from the pr...

By Hera Rizwan England is experiencing violent riots with disturbances linked to child murders and involving far-right agitators spreading across the country since Sunday. The unrest was triggered by anti-immigration protests following a stabbing attack that claimed the lives of three young girls earlier that week. The violence began after a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in Southport, near Liverpool. Subsequently, skirmishes erupted at far-right rallies in Liverpool, Manchester, and Bristol, where rioters clashed with police, hurled bricks and bottles, and looted shops, as ...

Washington (AFP) - A "deepfake" video parodying Kamala Harris, a manipulated expletive-laden clip of Joe Biden, and a doctored image of Donald Trump being arrested -- a tide of AI-fueled political disinformation has prompted alarm over its potential to manipulate voters as the US presidential race heats up. In what is widely billed as America's first AI election in November, researchers warn that tech-enabled fakery could be used to steer voters toward or away from candidates -- or even to avoid the polls altogether -- stoking tensions in an already hyperpolarized environment. A recent wave of...

A "White Dudes for Harris" Zoom call reportedly raised $4 million in donations for Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. After the call, the @dudes4Harris account on X was briefly suspended. Is this election interference? If we remain in reality, the answer is of course not. Even if X CEO Elon Musk ordered the account suspended because of its politics, there would be no (legal) wrongdoing here. X is a private platform, and it doesn't have any obligation to be politically neutral. Explicitly suppressing pro-Harris content would be a bad business model, surely, but it would not be...

Washington (AFP) - Bot-like accounts on social media platform X that spread misinformation and hate ahead of Britain's election are now amplifying conspiracy theories around US politics, a watchdog investigation revealed Tuesday, as the race to the White House kicks into high gear. Forty-five accounts analyzed by Global Witness, which collectively generated more than four billion impressions since late May, were active in the run-up to the British polls earlier this month. Some of them subsequently pivoted to other high-profile events ahead of the US presidential election in November, includin...
