Elon must act to stop the tide of frauds swamping Twitter - Ed Sheeran, Bear Grylls, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Holland have all had their names exploited in scam tweets. So, ironically, has Elon Musk.
I'm sorry, I can't agree that nothing should be done. I would love Twitter to die, but these scams are actively hurting people. They are criminals and must be stopped and Twitter is doing nothing about it, even when Elon himself is used as bait.
Just like Security can’t stop every spam email, Twitter can’t stop every falsehood on its service. Both should try, though. Twitter has metrics and can put a stop to trending tweets that are clearly disinformation.
They had a method of filtering this out before. That's what verification badges were lol. Now it's just a checkmark saying you're a loser who paid to get boosted on social media, and deserve to get bullied for supporting the alt-right.
