Verified Twitter Accounts Spread AI-Generated Hoax of Pentagon Explosion
05/22 21:05
Verified Twitter accounts with large followings spread misinformation about an explosion near the Pentagon on Monday, tweeting alongside what appears to be an AI-generated image. The spreading of this fake news across accounts that have up to a million followers and blue checks raises more alarm bells on how Twitter’s current structure as a result of Elon Musk's ownership can expedite a misinformation campaign. Verification checks were once a marker of authenticity, but under Musk's leadership, the blue checkmark now is merely a symbol that the account owner subscribes to Twitter Blue, which is Twitter’s premium plan.
