    Can we join forces and spam X with a flood of Informative deep fakes of select individuals?

      You could, but it would just be limited reach. There is no way to fight back using his own platform beyond just not going there.

        Something that has been bothering me lately. Reasonable people who counter the toxic misinformation leaving the platform only allows the disease to grow and spread. But reality is they weren’t reaching the people that needed the dose of reality anyway. And then I realized that the algorithms have always been the disease, my feeds are my own echo chamber to drive engagement, just as theirs are. I’ve pretty much cut all social networks out. The only way to change minds is honest respectable conversation, and I am not a person to change anyone’s mind.

        We’re fucked

    This is what the right is doing, while the DNC is censuring their own members for simply encouraging democrats to run against their own apathetic incumbents.

    Remember when this stuff was called "the quiet part’, and it was considered bad when you said it out loud?

    Yeah…good times.

      It’s a huge part of the business model. Social Media is valuable for its data on people, and for its ability to manipulate and influence people.

    If you need it to be legal to deepfake to manipulate politics you’re the problem.
