X is a daily source of fake quotations, and accounts using that platform follow a formula. A verified profile will post quotes, typically above a still image of the person speaking. Here’s an example involving Zlatan Ibrahimovic discussing the quality of Lamine Yamal’s performance in the Champions League this week. From there, the quotes will be reproduced by aggregators — social media accounts that exist to echo breaking news — piling artificial “sources” on top of one another, creating a stack too high for anyone to question or investigate.   submitted by   /u/Sparky-moon [link]   [comments]
