First came the bots, then came the bosses - we’re entering Musk and Zuck’s new era of disinformation; The Guardian, November 11, 2024

 Joan Donovan, The Guardian; First came the bots, then came the bosses - we’re entering Musk and Zuck’s new era of disinformation

"In 2024, lies travel further and faster across social media, which is now a battleground for narrative dominance. And now, the owners of the platforms circulating the most incendiary lies have direct access to the Oval Office."
