    This isn’t misinformation.

    Right, the other example is. The whole point is the difference between propaganda (the bots) and legitimate political sentiment (all real people). Given that Musk is actively choosing not to combat misinformation bots on his platform, it’s fair to step in.

        No, bots are not real people, so them masquerading as real people holding an opinion is, by definition, misinformation.

            Probably none. Now I’ll name one that is large and influential, and isn’t trying to combat the problem: X

              To claim they’re not trying to combat the problem is a lie. I used to get several bot followers a day around a year ago. Now I got none and I’ve lost a ton of subscribers because the bot accounts are getting deleted. The amount of bots was also the reason Elon wanted to turn down the deal to begin with because twitter lied about it.

              Also, misinformation can be combated with community notes. An open source feature I’m not aware of any other social media platform having.
