Twitter slapped labels on 63 Trump tweets since Nov. 23.
December 1, 2020 (NewsBusters) — Twitter didn’t stop censorship for the Thanksgiving holiday. Algorithms were hard at work flagging and labeling tweets from President Donald Trump and his campaign.
Twitter slapped labels on 63 Trump tweets since Nov. 23. When Trump tweeted: “Big Tech and the Fake News Media have partnered to Suppress. Freedom of the Press is gone, a thing of the past. That’s why they refuse to report the real facts and figures of the 2020 Election or even, where’s Hunter!” Twitter placed a label on the tweet, saying, “This claim about election fraud is disputed.” However, nowhere in the tweet or in the accompanying video was election fraud mentioned. This tweet seemed more of a criticism of Big Tech rather than a statement implying electoral fraud.
Overall, since May 31, 2018, Trump and his campaign have been censored by Twitter 325 times. By comparison, neither former Vice President Joe Biden nor his campaign have been censored on the platform.
Some of the labeled tweets from the past week include video clips from One America News Network, RNC spokesperson Elizabeth Harrington, and Newsmax. Other tweets highlighted statements from attorney L. Lin Wood, Pennsylvania state senator Doug Mastriano, and author and filmmaker Michael Cernovich. Trump’s interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo was also labeled on the president’s Twitter feed.
Twitter announced in an Oct. 9 blog: “Tweets with labels are already de-amplified through our own recommendation systems and these new prompts will give individuals more context on labeled Tweets so they can make more informed decisions on whether or not they want to amplify them to their followers.” The company also stated that users who choose to retweet labeled tweets would receive a prompt “pointing them to credible information.”
Twitter had more in mind when it came to labeled tweets. A Nov. 23 update to the company’s policy announced a new plan to inform Twitter users when they interacted with a labeled tweet. “Giving context on why a labeled Tweet is misleading under our election, COVID-19, and synthetic and manipulated media rules is vital. These prompts helped decrease Quote Tweets of misleading information by 29% so we're expanding them to show when you tap to like a labeled Tweet,” said Twitter.
However, Twitter is willing to work with Biden as president, according to a report from Reuters. Twitter informed Reuters that the company is “actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021.”

Stay off of Twitter. Move to Parlor.
Who is going to notice? If Trump leaves office Twitter will collapse.
My thoughts exactly. I wish Trump would just close his twit account and open a Parlor account. Twit-boy with his hog ringed nose would be crying about how unfair it all is.
Twitter is for lazy, vile, stupid people who do nothing but trash the president. I went and defended him to these idiots, calling them out personally and telling one to “go back to your parents’ basement, eat some pizza and stop harassing a good man.”
I got kicked off. No big loss.
Biden is the savior of Swamp and Deep State. He should be honored?
“If Trump leaves office Twitter will collapse.”
It will certainly lose a lot of its business.
If the worst comes to pass, Trump should either join or create a new, conservative-friendly social media site.
I’ve had so much trouble signing on to parlor. I don’t know why.
Biden ran out the clock in the basement. Now, what will he do next? He will be obedient and do what he is told by those who funded his sham.

Getting elected is one thing. Governing is something else. Even though Biden looks to be the next president, the GOP shellacked the Democrats in state legislatures and House. 2022 will see the return of the GOP in Congress.
China will manipulate Biden to work for them. Biden is weak and compromised. It will be a long 4 years. In the mean time, Biden will buy off illegal immigrants voters. They will all become Democrats. The chance of winning Congress back will decrease.
This only matters to people who look at twitter. Normal people do not care what twitter does. It is the same with facebook!
Biden was just a "front man" the Dems used to get their agenda across the finish line.
I expect Biden to be removed from office and either under care at home or in a care facility, due to Alzheimer's, by this coming summer.
Once Biden is physically replaced that's when the real $HIT will hit the fan.
Harris will release things about Hunter to the media.
She will give the go ahead to go after Biden, for the sake of her own power.
It’s Parler withan E. It’s greatover there tons of conservatives.
Twitter protecting it’s 400 million dollar investment to the democrat party.
Guess who paid for the voting machines +.
Thanks for the correction.
