    twitter has been the best place to get real time updates about both the ukraine war and now this israel v hamas conflict

    i don’t doubt there’s a lot of questionable content on there, but the value in spreading information outside of “official sources” is huge. the first casualty in a war is the truth and governments would love to get rid of people spreading the reality of the facts on the ground

      Yeah but when there’s a million and one people with zero knowledge on the situation parroting “facts” that’s called misinformation. Not to say that having a variety of viewpoints and sources isn’t important, just that a social media site where anybody can say or post anything isn’t the best way of getting it.
