Terrific dinner with @CaptMarkKelly and @Kasparov63 discussing our joint efforts to combat malevolent disinformation. It's time for the US to step up to the plate and actually start to fight!

Is X really policing content? I think all platforms need to do a better job (Telegram especially) but X is all too willing to turn a blind eye to hate. latimes.com/business/story… Back in 2023, we found a disturbing trend about the spread of hate on X: ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWS…
