Washington (CNN Business)Twitter will now apply warning labels to — and cease recommending — claims that outside experts have identified as misinformation during fast-moving times of crisis, the social media company said Thursday. The platform's new crisis misinformation policy is designed to slow the spread of viral falsehoods during natural disasters, armed conflict and public health emergencies, the company announced. For example, the policy bans "demonstrably false" or misleading claims of targeted war crimes; false reports of events unfolding on the ground in the midst of a conflict; and false claims about the use of weapons. Special attention will be given to government-affiliated or state-run media accounts making such claims, Twitter (TWTR (TWTR)) said.

Just give it up - social media isn’t and this is all controlled propaganda now.

Time to start new social media apps that won’t kowtow to elitist rule.

Some minimum wage liberal arts major, affirmative action hire of questionable gender who can’t hold a barista job at Starbucks is going to police my speech? I don’t think so.

Twitter will now label and suppress THE TRUTH surrounding armed conflict and other crises.

Edited for accuracy.

[Does so]

Putinistas are safe here...

Just in time to control the narrative of the new monkeypox plandemic.

[cranked]

The narrative must be preserved and controlled.

Anything that dissents from that is conspiracy, misinformation, disinformation. Get with the program.

"To determine whether claims are misleading, we require verification from multiple credible, publicly available sources, including evidence from conflict monitoring groups, humanitarian organizations, open-source investigators, journalists, and more," Twitter's head of safety and integrity, Yoel Roth, wrote in a blog post.

Approved Leftists will be the 'fact checkers'

Let me guess

[Robert DeLong]

Twitter will now label and suppress narratives opposing their preferred narratives surrounding armed conflict and other crises. I see no change whatsoever. Nobody can determine the truth as it is happening. They can only provide their opinions as to what is the truth, until they can actually get in and determine the truth. That is, if they really have a desire to seek the truth.

I must have missed the cancelation of the Musk deal…

[dragnet2]

Twitter misinformation czar?

Good grief!

[bankwalker]

not cancelled, but Musk put it on hold ...

[Robert DeLong]

He has paused the offer due to the number of bot and fake user accounts. So, it currently is not canceled but it may be. If it is, Twitter executives and board members will possibly go to jail. I say possibly because in normal times they would, in these times they probably won’t.

[coloradan]

How about a parallel act giving the death penalty to every person who actively participates in such labeling or suppression, if said “misinformation” later turns out to be true. E.g. Hunter’s laptop, voter fraud, etc. Deal?

Like everything else, the leftist eventually infiltrate. We have a constant battle to get out the truth.
