X/Twitter scraps feature letting users report misleading information

Nowadays, the lives of most of humanity are continually influenced by what the Internet world offers, whether it is true or false information. Users can be divided, summarily, into two categories: those who assimilate information passively, without going out of their way to fact-check, and those who are proactive, informing themselves and taking the time to report if facts are incorrect.

In 2021, Twitter implemented a feature that allowed users around the world, including South Korea, the United States, and Australia, to report posts containing misleading information. In September 2023, two months into Twitter's transition to X, Elon Musk's platform removed this feature.

Today's article investigates the relationship between this recent change and the upcoming referendum to be held in Australia, specifically dedicated to the importance of an indigenous voice in parliament.
