The fix is in.

[OKSooner]

That post that you just now made right there, that's misinformation.

See?

[butlerweave]

and they’re the main source of misinformation

How are the azhos going to “combat” all the crap they’ve been spreading about President Trump, his family, friends and associates for the past 8 years? The bass turds can’t make the Government’s new LAWFARE program against candidates who refuse to toe their line just go away.

Sue the hell out of them, RFK

This is evil

[devane617]

These guys have figured out that to hurt Trump just ignore him. The print and TV media needs Trump to destroy for ratings so the feed him.

[PAR35]

A little surprised to see Musk’s company joining in the conspiracy.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

And so the new "axis powers" sign a "Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact" of sorts to assure that there shall be pressure against any rubes who dare disagree with The Narrative™.

Liberty can be such an annoyance to those who would rule, whether it be a Samizdat, mimeographed "White Rose" messages, or even that old American standby -- dissent.

[cgbg]

False attacks on President Trump are all good....

[BradyLS]

LOL! In a nutshell, right? Their track record on “fact checking” “misinformation” does not inspire confidence. Now they’re agreeing to coordinate on telling people what to think.

[EastTexasTraveler]

So, they intend to steal another election.

Because American citizens are too dense to know the truth.

[RoosterRedux]

As Chuck Schumer warned Trump: "Intelligence agencies have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you."

This is their doing.

[antidemoncrat]

“Propaganda was one of the most important tools the Nazis used to shape the beliefs and attitudes of the German public. Through posters, film, radio, museum exhibits, and other media, they bombarded the German public with messages designed to build support for and gain acceptance of their vision for the future of Germany.”

Gee, sounds like today’s misinformation misinformation.

[EEGator]

What is misinformation?

It’s information we don’t agree with silly…

[Openurmind]

They are not going to quit. Now they are going to embed local control into our physical machines.

Yay... Windows!

[neverevergiveup]

They are talking about AI generated information. I think any issues with AI-generated misinformation could be easily fixed by passing a law stating that all AI-generated content has to be clearly and unmistakably labeled as such. Failing to identify such content as AI-generated should be punishable by VERY harsh sentencing.

[Openurmind]

This is going to happen fast too. It will probably be included in the next Windows update.

[Pollard]

joint commitment to combat AI misinformation

If it's strictly AI stuff, I wouldn't be too worried about it. As long as real people don't get censored on X. Musk knows a thing or two and has concerns about the dangers of AI.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

A new law. I applaud your innocence.
