EN: After more than a year, I have to admit: my attempt to build counter-narratives on #X against the algorithmically amplified far-right content has failed. Critical or factual posts are shown to only a tiny fraction of my followers. As a result, they have a ridiculously small reach. X is a platform that amplifies racist and other hateful messages, not a space for serious discussion and the exchange of information.

The more active users are on social media, the more polarized they are.

As a minor note: Leave X is a campaign started by an immigrant from Latin America living in Germany.
But that's okay, there are some cool folks in France I'll be meeting next week also doing awesome like minded work. Just check https://openportability.org
It facilitates people to migrate from X to Mastodon or Bluesky.

It's really amazing how TikTok is trying hard to fight its non-stop disinformation campaigns.
Is it some sort of competition with X?

It's great to see Senator Hawley questioning Zuckerberg at the trial. The two-year-old video has received 2.3 million views and asks fundamental questions to one of the oligarchs who feeds the Trump regime and about his dangerous tool for hate speech, Instagram.
What has changed since then? Zuckerberg has become more powerful.

RE: @chrisstoecker@mastodon.social
EN: However, the biggest problem on social media is not young people, but unscrupulous platforms and their business models, which inevitably cause collateral damage. As well as the numerous adults who spread hate, propaganda and disinformation on these platforms, offer drugs for sale, prey on minors, bully, incite hatred and spew vitriol.

We should invite Senator Paula Simons to speak with European politicians! Nice article and good summary of what happened to Twitter.
Any suggestions for a like-minded European politician who isn't just a bureaucrat that could make this happen? 🇪🇺💙🇨🇦

New article in Nature describes a field experiment on X which shows that assigning users to an algorithmic feed increases engagement and shifts opinions to align more with conservative viewpoints and demotes mainstream news. Sounds obvious but important in light of prior claims that algorithms don't cause attitudinal changes.

"Last week, the Province of New Brunswick announced it would no longer use X (...), for any official government communications, citing concerns over harmful content and inadequate safeguards. The City of Fredericton also stopped using X after a city survey showed that fewer and fewer residents were still on the platform.
When will the Canadian government follow New Brunswick’s lead and stop relying on X for official communications with Canadians?"
Senator Simons

"I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English, “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say."
