     3rd Video:

     An #AI generated attack on the #BurjKhalifa in #Dubai (utterly #Fake).

     "#X has said it has started suspending accounts which were flooding the platform with fake videos alleging to show situations on the ground in #Iran and the #MiddleEast which they claim "99%" were made to trigger monetisation of the content."

     The business model of the world's biggest spreader of #FakeNews is apparently severely threatened by, you guessed it, the epitome of #FakeNews--#AI-generated content!👈

     ...monetization #scheme must be so massive, as to warrant these severe measures for any platform, drastic for the "#FreeSpeech" absolutists that they are in dangerous of alieanating some of there best money spinners (who deal in, you guessed again...#FakeNews.)

     This is tragicomic!

     PS:

     If #Elmo were #Donald, he'd be throwing an incomparable tantrum. - A request: for those of you still on #X for "explorative" reasons, could you please post screenshot of #Elmo's tweets regarding the self-generated, automatic "#HyperEnshittifcation?!?"--I'd appreciate it.

     PLEASE NOTE:
     I do not support any state- or #BigTech sponsored #SocialMedia. As linking back to them generates hits, likes, retweets, and ultimately cash for them, I am not (direktly) linking the them (here: #TikTok).

     However, in the age of #FakeNews and "#AlternativeFacts, I think it is of utmost importance to provide the sources, so readers can review the sources.
