As misinformation floods X, Meta rejects calls to promote news content on Threads. Zuckerberg doesn't need to replace Twitter, he just has to destroy it.
When the Arab Spring unfolded just over ten years ago, Twitter played a pivotal role. The site was both a source for up-to-the-minute information and an organizing tool for protestors, and some celebrated Twitter as part of a new, digital revolution. But this week, a less hopeful moment in the Middle East proved once and for all that old Twitter is dead. X users flood the app with lies, misinformation, and even video game footage masquerading as “citizen journalism” from the streets of Gaza.
“I think that sort of creates a certain emotional feeling and load. I always just thought you could create a discussion experience that wasn’t quite so negative or toxic,” Zuckerberg told the Verge in late September. “I think it’s hard to come away from reading news about politics these days feeling good, right?” It’s an ironic stance given that Facebook spent years intentionally sewing discontent among its users to drive up engagement.
