Twitter Will Enforce a ‘Strike System’ Against Coronavirus Vaccine ‘Misinformation’

Social media giant Twitter announced this week that it will begin labeling tweets that share “misleading information” about the coronavirus vaccine and will implement a strike system for repeat offenders of the “misinformation policy.”

The Verge reports that Twitter announced on Monday that it will begin labeling tweets that share what the company decides is misleading information about coronavirus vaccines. The labels will link to relevant information from government bodies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a system allowing for five strikes will be implemented for users that repeatedly violate its misinformation policies.

Repeated violations of the policies could lead to Twitter locking or permanently suspending accounts. The new labels are similar to Facebook’s anti-misinformation banners which were launched as part of Facebook’s attempts to curb what it considers coronavirus misinformation last December.

Twitter plans to apply the new labels through a combination of human and automated review systems and will begin the rollout with English language content first. The criteria for labeling coronavirus posts have been outlined in Twitter’s misleading information policy but overall Twitter is focusing on five categories of false or misleading information, according to the Verge:

Misinformation about the nature of the virus

Misinformation about the efficacy of treatments and preventive measures

Misinformation about regulations, restrictions, and exemptions in association with health advisories

Misinformation about the prevalence of the virus and the risk of infection or death

Misleading affiliations (for example, claiming to be a doctor or public health official)

Labels will also play a major part in the new strike system. Twitter has stated that a tweet deemed harmful by the company counts as one strike. A tweet that adds to a larger conspiracy connected to the virus that Twitter deems dangerous, such as the idea that vaccines include microchips to track people, may also be deleted by the platform.

Twitter’s punishments for the different number of strikes, according to the Verge, are:
One strike: no account-level action
Two strikes: 12-hour account lock
Three strikes: 12-hour account lock
Four strikes: 7-day account lock
Five or more strikes: permanent suspension

***Twitter Will Enforce a ‘Strike System’ Against Coronavirus Vaccine ‘Misinformation’***

Social media is just one symptom of the current status: the end of our Constitutional Republic. Puppet Bitem rules by Executive Orders, the Dem legislature diddles on how to destroy its enemies and now SCOTUS has completely negated its duty as a last gap stop to Constitutional abuses.

I have not understood why patriots continue to try to cope with Twitter et al. They are just another arm of the traitorous MSM. Let all the subservient serfs continue to gather there and rot there.

While alternatives to the established social media are challenged to stay viable, the more patriot support the more likely they are to survive. I remember when all the patriot community had was short wave... may return to that if need be.

Any way, thanks for the heads up. :)

Can you earn balls for posting aggressive comments?
