'Block Community Notes We Don't Like': Harris Campaign Caught Red-Handed Manipulating X to Censor Criticism | 30 Oct 2024 | An investigation has revealed that Kamala Harris's presidential campaign is deceptively manipulating online platforms as the campaign is operating a Discord server that directs hordes of volunteers to use their social media accounts to deceptively push election propaganda... In more extreme cases, they are encouraging people to skirt election laws and using these "astroturfing" campaigns to spread disinformation they think will help win the upcoming election. Yesterday's report documented how the Harris-Walz campaign has seen great success in manipulating Reddit's algorithm, but that isn't the only social media site they're manipulating. The campaign has also been targeting Elon Musk's X. One particular goal, according to a user of the Harris-Walz campaign Discord server, is to get campaign volunteers to swarm the site and "block [community notes] we don't like."
