Twitter is now officially allowing COVID-19 disinformation on the platform. This is not conjecture, it is stated policy.

It ties in well with Musk's mass reinstatement/recruitment of alt-right, fascist, Qanon, and associated botnets onto the platform, and really highlights that Twitter's path forward is as a disinformation fountain for authoritarian propaganda. This will particularly include Russian propaganda, as he's one of Putin's admirers.

This must fail, and is why I keep urging everyone to leave.

What's the best way of getting screencaps for evidence? I tried printing to PDF, but it often strips out important information and doesn't show the URL. Doing a screenshot often includes other tabs that I don't want to present to third parties, and I don't want to redact or edit something that will be shown to a tribunal.

Drag the tab out of the window and make it a separate window, then screencap, then if you like trim to window, or just capture the window to begin with.

I also hide my bookmarks toolbar before capping.
