@DropboxSupport I lost access to my email and subsequently lost all access to my account data! This is ridiculous. I can't contact support without verifying my email but I don't have access to the email that needs to be verified. Why can't I see my data anymore?

Terrific dinner with @CaptMarkKelly and @Kasparov63 discussing our joint efforts to combat malevolent disinformation. It's time for the US to step up to the plate and actually start to fight!

Is X really policing content? I think all platforms need to do a better job (Telegram especially) but X is all too willing to turn a blind eye to hate.

"...trust in physicians & hospitals decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Lower levels of trust "associated with lesser likelihood of pursuing vaccination."

Key: other research shows much of the distrust CREATED by embrace of #misinformation.
