I don't particularily like that take. Not because it is not somewhat true but because he did not adress the elephant in the room: That a lot of the things that were labelled misinformation in the past turned out to be, actually and factually true but most people will blissfully still believe they aren't because at one point in time twitter decided (or was coerced) to put a label on it.
My response to the misinformation accusation: do China and Russia use the “misinformation” label to discredit stories that are harmful to their political interests? Yes? So we’ve established that governments abuse this label in order to advance their agendas. Do we imagine the US government to be magically above such behavior?
