Twitter users will not be able to like, respond to, or forward any tweet that receives a warning label, essentially putting a tweet into a black hole on the platform.
Social media giant Twitter has introduced its newest censorship policies aimed at fighting against what it calls “misinformation”, especially those stories with potentially harmful or dangerous content, and its new system leaves the tech giant as the determinator of what constitutes “misinformation”.
These new policies are part of the platform’s broad efforts to provide users with what it calls accurate information, especially in times of crisis.
The new misinformation censorship policy will allow Twitter to limit the spread of “misleading” information about various crises including international conflicts, wars, false allegations, natural disasters, and other humanitarian issues.
