A conspiracy theory that the latest surge in Covid-19 cases is being orchestrated by the Democratic Party ahead of the election. An obituary for a late NBA player that described him as useless. These false and bizarre stories arent showing up on some far-flung corner of the internet theyre being published by Microsoft.

solosnake 11/02/23 12:35:09 PM #4:	Microsoft refused to say how many, if any, human editors still work on curating the site or if it is all done by AI and algorithms. Scrolling through the Microsoft homepage a few weeks ago, Pfeuffer said it appeared unrecognizable to the portal she and her colleagues once curated. Not only have objectively false and outlandish stories been featured on the site, but overtly hyper-partisan articles with headlines like Should America Get Rid of Biden for Good? and A Darker Side of the Catastrophe Unfolding Under Joe Biden have also gained prominence. Those stories, which CNN has observed on Microsofts homepage, were not published by credible and established news organizations, but instead originated on smaller sites with little or no information about who is behind them or details on their editorial standards. Pfeuffer said these sites and headlines would never have been featured prominently on the Microsoft homepage while she and her editorial colleagues worked there, and said she was appalled that they have these websites that seem like facts, that are not legit news sources pumping out disinformation on the homepage. We tried to cover everything very fairly from all sides and not take a political stance on topics, --- "We would have no NBA possibly if they got rid of all the flopping." ~ Dwyane Wade <cite>solosnake posted [p:976993883] in Microsoft'...

My sister took a really hard right turn over the last few months and I couldn't understand why. She was parroting all this conspiracy bullshit and flagrantly fake news. She wanted me to download the MS Start app so I could do something on bing rewards (I think she got a referral bonus or something) and the default setup was all crazy right-wing bullshit, straight up fascist stuff. She was always a little bit off but yeah, that started to explain her behavior lately. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. <cite>TheLiarParadox posted [p:976993917] in Microsoft'...
