Several bluecheck Twitter accounts and a YouTube channel spread misinformation about heightened nuclear threats online last night, saying that Russian military jets were being armed with nuclear payloads aimed at Ukraines capital, Kyiv.

Unfounded speculation and blatant lies about global politics and war zones are common on social media, but are even more reckless given the volatile conflict between Russia and Ukraine and Twitters eroded moderations policies and new Twitter Blue scheme, where any bad actor can pay for the same verification that used to be reserved for legitimate news organizations.

Im out of the loop, now blue checkmarks on Twitter are a mark of a conservative? What if that liberal celebrity just wants people to know its their official account?

The definition of "woke" proves it's objectively a good thing. There is no context in which it can be used as a valid criticism.

I saw a topic here on CE saying that, but it was deleted before the banhammer dropped.

I don't and have never used Twitter, but why do people think some blue check mark means anything? It used to, it doesn't anymore.

People with blue checkmarks have higher visibly. So whether or not it actually means anything. People are more likely to see these tweets.

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

There was also "footage" from a blue checkmark that made the rounds a couple of days ago of MAGA trucks trying to run Chelsea Clinton's bus off the road, and it was from a GTA5 mod.
