Iranian state media and pro-Tehran propaganda networks have tapped into the conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump launched the joint military operation to distract from his presence in the Jeffrey Epstein files, and the content has linked both U.S. and Israeli leaders to the late sex offender to portray them as corrupt and depraved, reported the Washington Post.
"While such content often fails to gain much traction outside Iran, the message is spreading through generically named 'news' accounts that researchers say appear to be using the Epstein conspiracy theories to serve pro-Iran talking points to a global audience," the Post reported.
Nikita Bier, head of product for X, announced last week that users who post AI-generated videos of an armed conflict without disclosure would face 90-day suspensions from monetizing their content on the platform, with permanent bans looming over further violations. She said the company would work to flag that content as misleading or false.
During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground, Bier said in an X post. We will continue to refine our policies and product to ensure X can be trusted during these critical moments.

(15,304 posts)Bondi illegally withheld and/or redacted the documents mandated by unanimously-passed legislation that trump, himself, signed!
It took months to wrest just some of the documents out of bondi. It was damning. Covered by the media. Time for a distraction. Kidnap Maduro.
Later (just recently) more damning documents. Documents even more damning (apparently, that is possible.) Covered by the media (at least NPR who found them.) Time for a distraction. Start a war with Iran. (Added benefit, helps fellow war-criminal bibi postpone going to prison for corruption.)
I'm afraid of what the distraction will be if/when they start finding bodies in New Mexico.
