This is misinformation, and you know it @rtenews
1) We are not "Post COVID"
far from it. The pandemic is NOT over & SARS-CoV-2 continues to evole & mutate.
2)CMO encourages vaccine;
"To make sure Covid stays away"
Vaccine can reduce the risks,
but it won't "Stay away"

🇮🇪 is currently top of the XBB.1.16 leaderboard in Europe.
You should know this @rtenews
& report on it.
🚩High immune escape
🚩High transmissiblity
Better still, question @CMOIreland on why the public are kept in the dark.
No Covid report since January.
39 reported deaths this week.

How many people attending the conference knew that?
@FergalBowers @rtenews

Ask those poor grieving families if we are "Post COVID"
they may beg to differ.

Who knows what Twitter will look like tomorrow. But for now, @birdwatch (Community Notes) is here to stay. As its user base expands, will it effectively scale to make an impact on misinformation? poynter.org/ifcn/2022/elon…
@birdwatch No doubt @birdwatch has shown it is effective at reducing the reach of misleading tweets. And it has drawn bipartisan support — AND love from very smart misinfo researchers. I found that use has exploded, and its contributors are slated to jump 10% weekly.
@birdwatch As I mention in the article, the accuracy of helpful notes (I know the Birdwatch team doesn't like that word) has absolutely improved — nearly every helpful note now includes a legitimate source.

This deserves a blog post, maybe a YouTube video, and has been said many many times before, but I'll try to make it concise.

The difference between #Propaganda, #Misinformation, and #Disinformation, in a bite size Twitter thread.
Misinformation is just a mistake.

Me: Hey Bob, Alice likes cheesecake.
Alice: I hate cheesecake.
Me: My bad, I was misinformed, I thought you LOVED cheesecake.

Telling Bob that Alice loved cheesecake had no ultietior motive, there was no malice, it was just a "whoops".
Disinfo is intentional misinfo; I know Alice hates cheesecake.

Me: Hey Bob, for her birthday, you should really get Alice a cheesecake, it's her favourite

(Bob gets a cheesecake and ruins Alice's birthday)

Me: Mission accomplished!

*Intentionally* feeding ppl #misinfo = lying

I lived and breathed #misinformation in 2020 and I shared 3 ideas with @Poynter about what can be done to make things better: poynter.org/commentary/202…
1. Platforms need to step up and review their policies now that we can see the real-world harm that’s growing out of #misinfo. @Twitter and @YouTube especially need more transparency.
2. The federal government needs more content-neutral regulation around Section 230 to discourage misinformation. We can curtail lies without harming free speech.

I enjoy, no, I *LOVE IT* when people find, and continually discover, new and interesting flights that take place worldwide with flight tracking sites like @ADSBexchange, but I'm dreading the conspiracy theories this will make with the absence of context/history/probability. #ADSB
@ADSBexchange I can no better debunk this than anyone can prove who was on the plane, but I can add some context, so, sorry @realdivipro, nothing personal, but I have to be a wet blanket before this gets out of control (I have no doubt I'm too late and Palmer/etc will hype this anyway *sigh*)
@ADSBexchange @realdivipro 🇷🇺 Jet Air Group (ICAO:JSI) Gulfstream G650 bizjet RA-10204|#1427DC, in the past 90 days (b/c that's my "history window with @RadarBox24) has been in the air on 38 of those 90 days, or 42% of the time.
