Misinformation about Israel-Hamas war spreading rampantly

Season 2023 Episode 295 | 6m 57s

Many posts are spreading misinformation or outright lies and criticism is being directed at the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, and its owner Elon Musk. Laura Barrón-López discussed more with Emerson Brooking.
