@safeonlinefutures: The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool never had guard towers or barbed wire. This AI-generated image was engineered to provoke a reaction. Images like this don't spread by accident; they flourish because platform infrastructure is working exactly as designed. Social media algorithms prioritize outrage and shock value because higher engagement translates directly into corporate profit. With no financial incentives to curb fake images, platforms continue to monetize the division they create.
