Blue checkmarks on X are ‘superspreaders of misinformation’ about Israel-Hamas war
/ A new study finds that most of the ‘false or unsubstantiated narratives’ go viral on X before spreading to other platforms, with verified users responsible for 74 percent of the most engaged content.
The vast majority of viral misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war being posted on X (formerly Twitter) is being pushed by verified users, according to a recent study by NewsGuard — a for-profit organization that rates the trustworthiness of news sites. After analyzing the 250 most-engaged X posts between October 7th and October 14th that promoted incorrect or unverified information relating to the war, researchers at NewsGuard found that verified X accounts were behind 74 percent of it.
