Twitter is taking aggressive measures to provide clear and factual information on its platform in Russia and Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a war against his neighboring nation on Thursday.
“We’re temporarily pausing advertisements in Ukraine and Russia to ensure critical public safety information is elevated and ads don’t detract from it,” the social media company said Friday.
Twitter also ran a list of precautions it was taking to stop misinformation from spreading as Putin’s troops spread their offensive into Ukraine cities.
“Our top priority is keeping people on Twitter safe,” the social media giant said. “We’re actively monitoring for risks associated with the conflict in Ukraine, including identifying and disrupting attempts to amplify false and misleading information.”
The big tech company also said it was proactively reviewing tweets from “synthetic and manipulated media” that presents false reports of what’s happening during the international crisis.

A verified account attributed to the president of Russia remains active, though Putin has repeatedly spread disinformation on state TV in the days leading up to Russia’s attack on its neighbor. Among the bizarre statements made by the 69-year-old authoritarian was his claim Friday that Ukraine is run by a “gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis.”

Okay, so whatever the “narrative” that Twitter allows is the opposite of the truth. So glad they are showing their cards so early.
In other words, you’re going to believe what the little censoring nerds at Twitter believe, or you will believe nothing at all.
What do the petty tyrants at Twitter want us to believe this time?
Go to Funker530.com and download the Funker530 app for combat footage uncensored by the “Community Standards” of YouTube, FB, and Twitter. It’s a veteran community, videos are checked by veterans for authenticity and source. Some of the footage of Russian war crimes is gruesome, but they have NSFW warnings if you don’t wish to see. The app just gave me a notice on my phone a while ago that the assault on Kiev is beginning.
Arrogant creeps.
So they banned any announcements from the US Government or the US ‘mainstream’ media?
That’s the surest way I know to prevent disinformation on that topic.
During events like this, BOTH sides propagandize, spin, fabricate and outright bull shit about everything going on. It’s the nature of the beast. Believe very little of what you’re being told at this point.
How the eff is Twitter able to determine what is true or not? They’re taking the fun out of the internet.
Take note of who they censor and what they delete and that will shine the light in the direction of the truth.
I’m sure they’re gonna be totally unbiased.
We’ve seen this before from Twitter.
But it is not untrue.
The most well known group is Azov.
“During events like this, BOTH sides propagandize, spin, fabricate and outright bull shit about everything going on. It’s the nature of the beast. Believe very little of what you’re being told at this point.”
Yep.
“How the eff is Twitter able to determine what is true or not? They’re taking the fun out of the internet.”
They actually do what they claim to be against in doing this.
We all know Twitter censors or moderates for overt political reasons.
They were part of the steal.
Twitter has no place in war.
The only way to prevent misinformation is to ban Leftists.
Meanwhile just about every leftist on Twitter is blaming Trump yet I dont see any of that being taken down.

I wouldn’t be surprised, if Twitter’s monitors can’t understand Russian and are using Google Translate to do their “fact checking.”
LOL!
Like there ain’t plenty of ‘Rightists’ in the misinformation business?
