Is Twitter Bird Watching a Good Idea?
The idea is, can we address the issue of fake news with the help of community involvement? You would attach a note to a tweed that you find questionable, and other people will rate your comment. This bird watch programme, which was in bata for a little while, will now become visible. What do you make of these attempts? Are you optimistic? Or is this yet another initiative where, you know, maybe half a year from now, maybe hear from now? Sley a: I'm glad they're still trying. But i think fake accounts are like a much bigger problem in amplifying misinformation and getting it out there than the sort of content of the tweets themselves.
