T.Whiter will begin to limit further content coming from crisis situations such as the Ukraine war, the agency said Tuesday, a policy that would limit posts even its potential new owner Elon Musk said he wanted to reverse the company.
The social network will ban content that confuses users about war crimes, mass attacks and land incidents. “If we have evidence that a claim may be misleading, we will not extend or recommend the content of this policy across Twitter,” said Joel Roth, head of security and integrity at Twitter. Wrote in a blog post. A warning prompt will be applied to infringing tweets, notifying users that the post violates the company’s Crisis Misinformation policy and disabling Twitter likes, shares and retweets, reducing how far the tweet can spread. The chariot Said This type of work can reduce the reach of a tweet by 30% to 50%.
Twitter and other social media companies have taken similar measures to combat other forms of misinformation বিশেষ especially during the last presidential election. Twitter has been seen as a leader in this space, often preceded by similar initiatives from Facebook, Instagram and Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp. And while the efforts may seem daunting to some, it undoubtedly puts Twitter in a difficult position, which has to be mediated by misinformation.
Under the new Crisis Misinformation policy, Twitter “plans to rely on verification from multiple credible, universally available sources, including evidence from conflict monitoring groups, humanitarian agencies, open source investigators, journalists and more,” Roth wrote.
Historically, no one has been satisfied with Twitter’s moderate move. Liberals say Twitter doesn’t work well enough. Conservatives like Kasturi say it does too much. In the end no one is happy! And Twitter is stuck accepting it from both sides.
The timing of this latest policy comes at a moment of flow for the company. Musk’s deal to buy Twitter is stalled, and although he has little to say publicly about what he wants to do with Twitter, he has long been concerned about his desire to reduce it. This tweet from Musk is an example of where he stands on this issue:
Meanwhile, Twitter’s board is urging shareholders to approve the $ 54.20-a-share deal with Musk, even though the company has introduced policies that Musk will almost certainly dislike.
For the time being, Mask has been silent on this latest change in Twitter police rhetoric.
