[Polymarket's Official Account Frequently Posts 'Fake News,' Sparking Controversy; Jeff Bezos Personally Refutes Rumors]
BlockBeats News, January 23: Prediction market platform Polymarket has faced widespread criticism from the crypto and media communities for posting false information on its official X account. Investor DCinvestor stated that they have unfollowed Polymarket's official account, not because of the product itself, but due to its frequent posting of large amounts of fake news presented as 'breaking news,' which seriously misleads users.
Media professional Rachel Karten also pointed out that Polymarket's official account 'often publishes completely fabricated news,' calling this phenomenon 'very strange.'
One of the focal points of the controversy was a tweet labeled 'JUST IN,' in which Polymarket claimed that Jeff Bezos advised Gen Z entrepreneurs to first work at real-world companies like McDonald's or Palantir before considering starting their own businesses. Jeff Bezos himself directly responded to deny the claim, stating: 'Not true. I'm not sure why Polymarket would make this up.'
This incident has raised concerns in the market about Polymarket's information credibility and content review mechanisms. As the influence of prediction markets continues to grow, the behavior of the official account posting false information is considered potentially misleading to user decisions and market sentiment.
