Lax content material moderation on X (aka Twitter) has disrupted coordinated efforts between social media corporations and regulation enforcement to tamp down on “propaganda accounts managed by international entities aiming to affect US politics,” The Washington Publish reported.

Now propaganda is “flourishing” on X, The Publish stated, whereas different social media corporations are caught in countless cycles, watching a number of the propaganda that they block proliferate on X, then inevitably unfold again to their platforms.

Meta, Google, and then-Twitter started coordinating takedown efforts with regulation enforcement and disinformation researchers after Russian-backed affect campaigns manipulated their platforms in hopes of swaying the 2016 US presidential election.
