Musk’s self-promotion on X needs probing, EU lawmakers say
[url]https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-lawmakers-call-upon-commission-to-look-into-musk-favoring-own-posts/[/url]
[quote]BRUSSELS — European Union lawmakers are alleging Elon Musk has been pushing his own profile on X, so much so that it poses a major risk.
Some 42 members of the European Parliament backed a call to launch an investigation into how the account of the X owner got a significant “boost” in mid-July. Musk endorsed U.S. President Donald Trump publicly around the same time after an assassination attempt on the presidential candidate.
[b]“Musk has turned X into a hate-mongering platform that is purposefully pushing his own political agenda, such as supporting Trump,” said German Greens MEP Alexandra Geese, the lawmaker leading the call.[/b]
Musk’s alleged self-favoring could even put European democracy at risk, she said.
X already risks getting a major penalty from European social media regulators. In July, the Commission found X in breach of parts of the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) over misleading interfaces and insufficient transparency and data access. The case could lead to fines of up to 6 percent of X's global annual turnover.
Targeting Musk personally, as lawmakers suggest, would put the EU at loggerheads with the incoming Trump administration. Musk has emerged as a key ally of Trump and will take on a newly created, bespoke role of sizing down government services.
But Musk’s management of X — formerly called Twitter — has irked, annoyed and angered many European politicians, so much so that many have moved to rivaling services like Bluesky in recent weeks.
One key complaint of users that emerged after Musk took charge of the social media in 2022 is that he has tweaked the algorithm to promote his own posts in the notifications and “For you” tabs on X’s app.[/quote]

Wendy Williams is permanently incapacitated due to dementia
[url]https://www.datalounge.com/thread/35022930-wendy-williams-is-permanently-incapacitated-due-to-dementia-[/url]
[quote]Wendy Williams was labeled as “permanently incapacitated” in new court documents by her guardian, less than a year after revealing her dementia and aphasia diagnosis to the public.
Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, and her legal team, wrote in court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun that Williams “has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.” The revelation came amid an ongoing legal battle over the Lifetime series Where is Wendy Williams?, a documentary that showed the former TV host dealing with alcohol addiction, alongside health and financial issues.
Past court documents claimed that the series exploited Williams, and said that she did not have the ability to consent to the series due to her health ailments. The new filing asked for information of her “health, familial relationships, and finances” to be redacted in an effort of privacy, according to the outlet. Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia in 2023, revealing her health conditions publicly earlier this year.[/quote]

Study suggests X turned right just in time for election season

[quote]A pair of researchers say they've determined that July 13 was likely the day that X, formerly known as Twitter, made platform-level algorithm changes that increased the visibility of posts made by Elon Musk and Republican-leaning accounts in the run-up to the US election.
That date may stick out in the memory as when Elon Musk, now the owner of X, formally endorsed Donald Trump in the recent US presidential election.[/quote]
Like 'old Twitter': The scientific community finds a new home on Bluesky

[quote]Now, that has changed, in a big way. Although academics mostly stuck with X in the year after the poll, Bluesky has rapidly emerged as the new online gathering place for researchers, Kucharski among them. They are drawn by its Twitter-like feel, welcoming features, and, increasingly, the critical mass of scientists in many fields who have already made the move. "The majority has spoken, and researchers are moving en masse" to Bluesky, says De-Shaine Murray, a neuroscientist at Yale University who has also migrated to Bluesky.
And yet the shift was slow. Researchers studying online migration emphasize how hard it is for entire communities to move. It usually takes both a push and a pull. In X's case, there is no shortage of push factors: […]
Yet other platforms appeared to exert little pull for many researchers. Many scientists tried and abandoned Mastodon, LinkedIn, and Threads.
Anastasia Sergeyevna Bizyaeva, an engineer at Cornell University, says the trend reminded her of the dynamics she studies, called behavioral cascades, where a system that has reached a certain threshold can suddenly shift. In a school of fish, for example, a few individuals might notice a predator and change their behavior, "and then suddenly, there's this really fast transition where the whole network reacts."[/quote]
