X appears to have suspended the account "Ivanka Trump News" with over a million followers. The account constantly posted about American politics and claimed to have voted for President Trump. But based on X's location data, it was apparently based in Nigeria.
I'd previously posted about a series of engagement farming accounts with large followings that use the names of major figures in the Trump family or administration. Now, according to X's location feature, an account called "Barron Trump News" with 580,000 followers is based in

Just a reminder: Smallpox killed 300 million people in the 20th century alone. In 1952, polio paralyzed 16,000 Americans in a single year. Today, we didn’t get lucky - we got vaccinated.

Update: Following a brief suspension, X has now restored the account of "Concerned Citizen", the most community noted user on this platform, who is back to posting about "chemtrails" and "fake moon landing".
X appears to have suspended the account of "Concerned Citizen", one of the biggest conspiracy accounts on the platform with over 1.1 million followers, and the single most community noted user on this app.

X is about to show where people post from, so I’ll just say it myself: I live in France. I’m Simon, PhD in organic chemistry. Science belongs at the table, not just in the lab. My goal here is simple: Bring science back into everyday life. Drop a Hi if you want to learn more.

Every time we let misinformation slide, it spreads. Every unchecked lie becomes “truth” to someone. Call it out. Back with evidence. Teach people how to think, not what to think. Science won’t defend itself.

This video, which claims President Zelensky has a Russian passport, is fake. The editor of The New Voice of Ukraine has confirmed that the video wasn't produced by the outlet, and @DarrenLinvill says it's likely the work of a Russian disinformation campaign known as Storm-1516.
⚠️ 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 ⚠️ 🇺🇦🇷🇺 | Anonymous leaked that Zelensky has a Russian passport and owns elite apartment in Moscow… Nothing says “master plan” like secretly buying a Moscow penthouse in 2019 and then spending years fighting Russia. Truly 4D chess…

“If a study is funded by a industry, it can’t be trusted.” It sounds skeptical. It sounds smart. But it’s wrong. And if you actually care about evidence, here’s what you need to know. Let’s start with the claim: 💬 “They’re just buying the results.” 💬 “Industry-funded science

Science is hard. You have to prove it, test it, and be able to reproduce the results. Pseudoscience is easy. You just make it up, add fear, and watch it spread.

This purported video of a school in the UK is AI-generated and fake. Note how the teacher sits in a chair that doesn't exist.
This is modern, diverse Britain. Do you know that your kid is learning about Allah, not Christ?

No, because it never happened. It's an old piece of fake news that's been repeatedly debunked.

This is yet another AI-generated video attempting to get clicks and engagement off the pain and suffering currently unfolding in Sudan, with most users sharing and commenting seemingly unaware that this is not a real video from Sudan.

Everyone has opinions. Science has evidence. 511 studies, one conclusion: Vaccines for COVID-19, RSV, and influenza save lives - safely. Truth doesn’t need volume. Just verification.

This outlines shameful and flagrant violations of journalism ethics and norms at The Washington Post. These failures denigrate the entire field of journalism by giving cynics and propagandists a handy, broad brush with which to paint all standards-based news organizations.
In October, several 'Washington Post' editorials fail to disclose Bezos interests My story for NPR https://t.co/CoW8WGo0cw
