False news reports, images and video have gathered millions of views on Twitter, formerly X, where accounts are no longer verified with free blue ticks
The fake BBC journalist account has been spreading misleading footage unrelated to the current violence on X, formerly Twitter Hamas, a fundamentalist militant group in Palestine, launched unprecedented attacks on Israel over the weekend – killing 700 Israelis and sparking a military response from the country’s government that has seen a further 500 people killed in Gaza.
Since Elon Musk’s takeover of X last year, he has overseen a large reduction in the company’s global content moderation team and removed the free blue ticks, which had previously helped users verify the legitimacy of accounts. Mr Musk urged X users to “stay as close to the truth as possible” as accounts spread doctored images of dead bodies, claiming to be Israeli civilians.
