Microsoft And Meta Detail Plans To Combat “Election Disinformation” – Including Watermarks For Memes And More “Fact Checkers”
New censorship measures from Big Tech.
And so it begins. In fact, it hardly ever stops – another election cycle in well on its way in the US. But what has emerged these last few years, and what continues to crop up the closer the election day gets, is the role of the most influential social platforms/tech companies.
Pressure on them is sometimes public, but mostly not, as the Twitter Files have taught us; and it is with this in mind that various announcements about combating “election disinformation” coming from Big Tech should be viewed.
Critical more than others why, and what is Microsoft seeking to protect – it’s all very unclear.
Who cares if memes are truthful, lies, real or AI generated? I thought they put watermarks on the ballots but if they aren’t hand counted and ruled valid or not, by using the watermarks, what difference does it make? If the Dems get away with keeping observers away from examining them and harvested ballots still get counted even without the watermarks, it is all BS anyway!
