X, formerly known as Twitter, is the worst platform for allowing misinformation to stay online an expert has said
Tik Tok says it has increased its moderation resources in Hebrew and Arabic and is working with accredited fact-checking organisations to clamp down disinformation
Mr Breton asked TikTok chief Shou Zi Chew to respond “within the next 24 hours” to highlight how the social media app was curbing online disinformation, following similar warnings issued this week to X, formerly Twitter, and Facebook parent Meta this week. A video supposedly showing a little girl being kidnapped by Hamas militants circulated on TikTok, before being posted on X by a prominent American-Israeli lawyer, Marc Zell.
It is actually a clip taken from a Arma 3, a realistic military video game. It has been viewed more than 532,000 times, and is still available to view on the platform.FakeReporter, an X account that debunks misinformation has warned of individuals spreading “conspiracies”.
He warned that people are increasingly susceptible to believing news from unverified social media posts and propaganda.And the option to have X Premium, a paid-for service that offers content promotion and payment for posts that perform well, add to the proliferation of fake posts. “It occurred on Tuesday with a fake story about Hamas atrocities being spread on Tik Tok, Meta and elsewhere. This happened despite the fact that we all knew Hamas had already circulated its atrocities for all to see, so as to best spread fearm amongst the Jews.”Tik Tok has increased its moderation resources in Hebrew and Arabic, and is continuing to work with IFCN-accredited fact-checking organisations.
