New study finds that about 10,000 daily active accounts on Twitter/X use AI-generated profiles that spread spam & scams and even amplify coordinated messages. ~~ Threads source of link.
I was helpful earlier in getting a bogus imposter politicians account suspended, within an hour of it been reported by myself and others. See how they misspelled the account name. Account was shadowbanned before hand so hard to find the actual account.

X/Twitter user numbers now down by almost a third over the last year in the UK, and by almost a fifth in the US.

Source and verified reply by musk on 'X'
Wondering does that mean, accounts we now block will be visible again in our feed?

@VinLieger Are you happy to see post from @consciousphilos in your feed, if you had chosen to block the account?

The report, which details content moderation practices, shows the company has removed millions of posts and accounts from the site in the first half of the year.
X, formerly Twitter, suspended nearly 5.3 million accounts in that time, compared with the 1.6 million accounts the company reported suspending in the first half of 2022.
When Musk was trying to buy Twitter in 2022, he said he was doing so because it wasn’t living up to its potential as a “platform for free speech.” Since acquiring the company that October, Musk has fired much of its staff and made other changes, leading to a steady exodus of celebrities, public figures, organizations and ordinary people from the platform.
So more moderation than previous owners? AP post so doing the rounds on media sites.
Another from AFP: -
The EU vs X: How big could the fines be for Musk?
In other words, the EU could hold Musk himself liable and the six percent could be levied against all the companies he controls — not just X. That would potentially increase the penalty around thirty-fold, up from $200 million if only X's revenues are targeted to over $6 billion for each of the separate charges.

On the changes to 'Block Function' I could possibly see account user's protecting tweets, so stalkers can't get at them to screenshot and repost.

@odyssey06 Last nights news and a reason was given. You can find a link to dossier on threads? If anyone wants to see it I can track it down again.
Even meta is removing links to dossier. Not going to share a link (cause of doxing in it)
Mark Zuckerberg and Elon musk don't want you to Google "ken klippenstein jd vance dossier", which means you should definitely check it out.
However, some experts see the report as little more than a shallow promotional exercise designed to assuage advertisers’ concerns.
