alt Hacker NewsX and Meta do try to uncover and scrub malicious state actors, like the investigation of the 2016 Russia misinformation campaign. Maybe, they could have done more, but there is no reason why they wouldn't put an earnest effort as they have nothing to gain from faking compliance. A social media platform owned by a foreign adversary does have this incentive.

X of today is, quite obviously, not the same thing as the X of 2016.
Can't be taken seriously if you're going to elide that "detail".
they have money and power to gain by faking that compliance, to the extent that if the foreign power gets what they want, meta or twitter gets what they want to, eg. removal of regulation or a ban on regulation of their AI products

X is basically a propaganda arm for Israel at this point. It’s obviously under control of a nefarious state actor.
