Dis- and misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war is flooding social media, including here on X.
@AP is providing an important service: factchecking widely shared misinformation, adding factual context to misleading content that is circulating online.

Thx @aghafc for the thoughtful and thorough article on todays dangerous Global Information Environment #GIE and the work of the international Panel on the Information Environment to improve it.

Misinformation is often more viral than information. Why? Because it's easier to understand. False, imprecise content is typically written at a lower grade level than true content. That's what we found in this new study (open access): https://t.co/Jp2an97B6y

We are not so naive as to think that we can eliminate the scourge of misinformation. But we have ideas about how to stem its global spread so that we can restore truth and transparency, say @PeaceTechLab CEO @shimelfarb and @OxDemTech’s @pnhoward. https://t.co/gYHvqKw6tN
