The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced that it is suing the social media company X, accusing it of spreading disinformation.

After Reporters Without Borders, or RSF, discovered that it was the target of a disinformation campaign this past summer, the Paris-based group filed 10 reports of policy violations with X, formerly known as Twitter.

Since none of the posts in question have been removed, RSF opted to sue the company in French courts “for its complicity in disseminating false information, misrepresentation and identity theft,” the group said in a statement.

If you absolutely have to have it in your phone, use the calendar and pick some event that’s plausible monthly with a unique name so you can search on it. “Checked for Mxyzlptik updates”, “Look at travel to Canada prices” or whatever.

If you need more functionality than that you’ll need an offline solution. We live in a fascist dictatorship now. They hate women. And they will 100% use that information against you if they can.

Fair.

Disagree, but fair.

There’s absolutely NO WAY, not even a scintilla of a percent, that the author did not expect the king kind of discussion we’re seeing here to take place. None.
