Comment on Fact checked

  My friend, I will give you the benefit of doubt and believe you when you say that this post’s purpose was to make fun of how shitty Twitter’s community notes are, and that is indeed an important topic to shed light on, so people won’t treat community notes as reliable.

  However,

  You can rest assured that a significant portion of the people who saw this post believed it as straight fact.

  It is impossible to overstate how gullible people on the internet are, and how readily they will straight up believe conspiratorial BS, especially surrounding controversial topics like Israel.

  That’s how Poe’s law works, and it is attitudes like yours that don’t take this shit seriously that end up inadvertently contributing to an environment full of libelous antisemitic conspiracies on the internet.

  I beseech you to carefully consider this stuff is you ever plan to post such a thing again.

    I do not hate it. But if this photo is not edited, then they need to improve it a little bit.

      If this photo is not edited? So you were saying it was edited? What the fuck dude, find a real example of Twitter fact checking being fucked. Don’t make shit up. What are you 7 years? Or a paid troll?

        The key word being “IF” implying they are unsure and are not the direct source of the picture.
