In our appeal we argue:
"#Disinformation and hate speech, ... are still defining elements" on #X, "elections are being manipulated and democratic institutions are attacked."

A current example of this is the #Trollrensics study on the #EPelection that became public last week. According to it, millions of posts promoting right-wing populist parties were distributed by over 50,000 fake accounts on X. 👇

In unserem Appell haben wir argumentiert:
„#Desinformation und Hassrede, ... sind nach wie vor bestimmende Elemente“ auf X, „Wahlen werden manipuliert und demokratische Institutionen angegriffen.“

Ein aktuelles Beispiel dafür ist die heute bekannt gewordene Studie von #Trollrensics zur #EPWahl. Danach wurden über 50.000 Fake-Accounts auf #X millionenfach Posts verbreitet, die rechtspopulistische Parteien beworben haben. 👇

Warum legitimieren die #Hochschulen diese Lügenkampagnen mit ihrer Präsenz auf X?
