The Spin
Narrative A
The mess of security on X and high-profile hacks impact us all – even those whose accounts aren't hacked. The platform, and the free flow of accurate information, are essential to democracy. Misinformation can spread like wildfire on social media and negligence around security on X endangers both users' security and national security, especially ahead of the upcoming election.
Narrative B
X is working to combat manipulation and hacking with new security measures and rules. There's a fine balance between fighting harmful content and censoring political debate, though. The work is ongoing and X is doing what it can to ensure accurate and safe political discourse.
