Trump to Bring Back Spoils System

As toxic as #American #democracy has become, it’s more functional today than it was the 1800s when the shadowy bosses of political machines vied for power and profit

Until recently, modern politics has been comparatively civilized due to laws & institutions that reduced #corruption & promoted democracy

History reminds of the importance of #safeguards for functioning of democracy & danger of Trump’s plan to destroy them

First introduced in 2022, the #KidsOnlineSafetyAct, or #KOSA, would impose sweeping new obligations on an array of #digital #platforms, including requiring that companies “exercise reasonable care” to prevent their products from endangering kids. The #safeguards would extend to their use of design features that could exacerbate #depression, #SexualExploitation, #bullying, #harassment & other harms.

#DISINFORMATION

Late Tuesday, a #fake account on #X (#Twitter) purporting to be the #IDF tweeted in Arabic that the army was taking blame for the #hospital attack.

The tweet got >1M views — a massive number in a country w/ a population of ~9M.

It’s the latest example of the #uncontrolled #misinformation that has spread virally during the #war, complicating the public’s (in)ability to determine what’s real.
