Is this ‘posts on X’ pane in Google search results new or have I just somehow not noticed it before? Because boy this seems like the ideal* vector for misinformation from X to get out into the broader public

*not ideal

I’m not sure how Google is selecting which tweets to amplify. Some are news orgs, some are journalists, but some are just random people. It doesn’t seem to be scanning for manifestly unproven claims like this, just pushing them out there

I searched for ‘Mossad’ and Google pointed me directly to this account which is clearly not officially linked to Mossad. Again this seems like a weird and poorly thought through decision by Google
