I mean I guess it’s better than amplifying misinformation, but it’s still a cop-out to get out of moderating the topic. Mildly curious just how many topics Threads censors search results for.
Honestly, credit where credit’s due, I think this is likely the best possible solution the Twitter team can implement, hamstrung as it is. Would I prefer that verified experts get to talk freely while conspiracy nutjobs get censored? Absolutely. But with verification gutted and likely a lack of manpower on the content moderation team, auto-redirecting to a credible source seems like the best option.
