And last I checked, for all the "Twitter Files" brouhaha, Musk Xitter has suffered all of zero consequences from the US government for not only cutting off the alleged jawboning channels and accusing them of jawboning, but taking Twitter's anti-MDM measures into reverse gear.

A credible jawboning charge requires either an explicit threat for non-cooperation — or an implicit threat established in patterns of punishment for non-cooperation — with government requests. Neither have been demonstrated in Missouri v. Murthy.

〝Based on software analysis, it appears that the Twitter/X account EndWokeness is likely operated by right-wing political pundit Jack Posobiec.
This is based on the predominance of the pejorative word "schlit", the presence of the polish "ę" and the tweet record of EndWokeness retweeting Jack Posobiec's tweets within one second.〞

From ISD Global: 〝Before Meta took enforcement action, Patriots Run Project was a network of 26 domains, 10 websites, 15 Facebook pages and 13 linked Facebook groups. […] The only street address linked to PRP is a mailbox at a UPS store in Washington, D.C. Its website offers no information about its leadership, funding or structure.〞

From @DFRLab: 〝The tool also incorporates gaming elements in the form of a scoring system […] This functionality incentivizes the repeated use of the tool to reach daily participation target goals, employing a percentage-based points system that increases after each click until the user reaches their goal and receives a “Hasbara hero” badge.〞

From @DFRLab: 〝On Facebook, Instagram, and X, many accounts engaging with posts by UCC used verbatim or very similar language to amplify posts. Some of these were brief; for example, four accounts on Facebook used the phrase, “OMG can’t believe it!” while commenting on three UCC posts. Two of them also added the same “see no evil” monkey emoji at the start of the comment.〞

〝AI-generated text can still be surprising if it’s generated in response to a surprising prompt, which the detector has no way to deduce. And the opposite is true, as well. Humans may write unsurprising text if covering a well-worn topic.〞
