Misinformation is such a loaded word. These people can’t even tell you what it means. Like asking a teenager protesting against racism what specific racism they are experiencing

It’s an agitprop word. They can’t say disinformation as it would make them culpable to lawsuits for defamation.

Bingo, exactly this.

Accuse someone of 'misinformation' and nothing can happen, everyone makes mistakes and that isn't a crime. "Oh you're just misinformed, tee hee, CANCELLED!"

Accuse someone of 'disinformation' and suddenly that could be a major crime, deliberately saying false information for some agenda is potentially punishable by law, and accusing someone of doing such is equally punishable if turns out to be false.

Words are powerful, and the creeps we're up against know words all too well, pilpul.

Not only is it a loaded word - the blame is in the wrong direction!

Basic skepticism, internet savvy, and googling ability are tools most people should have at this point.

Bullshit will always exist, but this is the first time in history when the idiots who believe it aren't being held responsible for their gullibility.

Or worse they are being held up as heroes.

And Papa Elon or any 3rd party authority figure policing the bullshit for us will lead to young people not learning those skills, creating more idiots. We'll become even more a society of collectivist sheep that do what they're told and demand shepherds to protect us from big bad wolves. (that may or may not exist)

It means the same thing as 'racism', 'sexism', 'conspiracy theory'.

Anything the regime does not like.

Modern language thrives on "Broad spectrum words that have zero meaning besides whatever the speaker wants it to mean in that instance." Ever hear a zoomer call things mid, for "Something that I don't like"?

What is this “misinformation” that he refers to?

Interesting he had no problems with Twitter's old policy of allowing child porn to flourish, and that he's leaving Twitter just when they start removing that material...

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1601275244710621184

It is a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!

But I'm sure that's just a coincidence...

He was caught at an Airport with Child Pornography but got let off as he said it was "art"

At this point I don't expect British gay celebrity to be reasonable. It's par for the course for them to act like a toddler and expect to be taken seriously.

Stephen Fry and Douglas Murray are honorable exceptions.

I'm betting Elton doesn't even know what twitter is. This is some goofy twink minion that runs his account doing a storm off.

I misread Elton as Elon, then twink to twit/twitter, and then imagined how hilarious it would be if Elon had legitimately not touched his own account since buying the company.

I mean, pretty likely considering George Takei's special media presence is basically owned by The Social Edge.

The misinformation is Elton John saying he's leaving Twitter. The attention whore will be back in a month at the latest.

Misinformation has been flourishing unchecked for the past several years. Does this guy use Internet Explorer or something?

I've seen plenty of misinformation about how transgender surgery is 'grate and affirming' on Twitter.

Perhaps Elton is talking about that.

Misinformation like Sudden Adult Deaths are totally Climate Change (tm) related?

Probably pissed off that his Christmas track from last year bombed harder than Lizzo at a swimming pool party.

I suppose Elton John doesn't want to hang around Twitter now that Elon has put a stop to the CP activity.
