Twitter is responding to an uptick in misleading AI-generated images by expanding its flawed, crowdsourced fact-checking feature, Community Notes, to include images. The new feature, whose debut comes just one week after the social network amplified an AI-generated image of a supposed bomb at the Pentagon, will give Twitter users the ability—and responsibility—to identify “misleading media.” Twitter’s trust and safety team, which would originally take a lead role in sussing out signs of misleading or fabricated content,…

Complaints around disappearing tweets aren’t entirely new, but whether Twitter has the engineering staff to quickly solve this most recent issue is yet to be seen. After similar complaints of feeds resetting and tweets disappearing back in September 2021, the company said it would address the hiccup, writing in a post, “Let’s talk about Tweets disappearing from view mid-read when the…
