The founders of Facebook and Twitter have clashed following Twitter's decision to mark some of US President Donald Trump's tweets as"potentially misleading". Twitter placed a blue exclamation mark against two of Mr Trump's tweets about mail-in ballots....living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one.
This does not make us an “arbiter of truth.” Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves. More transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions.
Mr Dorsey went on to say Mr Trump's tweets"may mislead people into thinking they don't need to register to get a ballot", which is why Twitter marked them as such. The attacks by Mr Trump and his supporters put"so much pressure [on Twitter] and they are blanching at the thought of taking the next step" on curbing political misinformation, Mr Livingston said."They are caught on the horns of a dilemma and don't know which way to go."
SBS Good on Twitter.
SBS Both Twitter and Facebook are just as stupid as each other
One simple solution for Mark Zuckerberg....rename Facebook to Fakebook.
Facebook=GOP. Zuckerberg= snake.
This is very funny as FB does this all the time...
Remember Zuck has a base to keep happy as well and most of them are overseas.
Anyone who believes everything trump says had very low iq
I enjoy connecting on Twitter. Who knew a dominatrix interested in politics and cc would connect with you, My Tweeps. Left FB after Christchurch. Why? I’ll let you contemplate
Most of us realise that the vast majority of Trumps tweets and utterances are falsehoods purposefully stated by Trump. Does anyone actually take any notice of the man anymore? If they do then they need to seek help asap.
'Potentially' as if they aren't completely false or misleading in general.
The ugly and filthy riches!
Facebook is shit. I got of that garbage site years ago.
Facebook bans this picture for Nudity/Sexual Content. Yet it is just a daddy and his daughter. Yet Twitter has no issue with it. Who is censoring content? Give it a try it won't lock you out it just won't let you post it.
Mark Zuckerberg is a gay murderer.
Zuckerberg is pathetic. I’m so glad someone has finally called out Trump.
Bahahaha Facebook. Who gives a shit about Suckerbergs opinion
Godzilla Vs King Ghidora
what a surprise coming from Zucker...a man without morals
It's not for either of them to try and educate us.
Disseminating lies is a sure way not to be an arbiter of truth Facebook
Mark is right, jack is wrong. The end.
Zuckerberg KA the establishment.
Are they going to mark global warming garbage as 'potentially misleading' too? When in history did such a small number of people control the media?
Potentially misleading? How many fact checkers do they have? And are they all named Karen?
He would say that given how much goes in his pockets by allowing harm without consequence or conscience.
No surprise from Fakebook FactCheck
Who cares what billionaires think all there after is to fill their pockets even more
These scumbags acted too uglily to show support BeijingIntercourseJoe and suppress Trump.
Might move to facebook
Zuckerberg true to form... no responsibility!
lol

Aust not facing 'Accord mark two' over industrial relations | Sky News AustraliaThere is a likeness between Scott Morrison's industrial relations reform push and that of Bob Hawke's Accords but the results will be 'quite different', political consultant Jim Middleton says. \n\nScott Morrison has called for a ceasefire between unions and businesses in a push to end a political deadlock on industrial relations that has been ongoing for decades. \n\nMr Middleton told Sky News Australia was “not on the verge of Accord mark two”. \n\n“The beauty of the accord process – was that everyone had to bring something to the table,” he said. \n\n“I can see what business and the ACTU are bringing to the table, not so sure what it is that the government is bringing to the table.\n \n“The one thing the government does have is money and I suspect that to get any results in the end the government is going to have to be very careful about how it withdraws JobKeeper and also what it does about JobSeeker. \n\n“I cannot see that being returned to the old Newstart level. \n\n “That’s what unions want, that’s what businesses been accepting and it’s also perceived by reputable economists as having greater benefits for the economy than the cost to the budget.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia ScottMorrisonMP No point working when Govt lets the Banks lie in court to steal the property & everything you work for- I'll let Govt pay for my welfare income & Govt supplied housing- This is how the Banks offload the cost of their crimes onto society & the Govt permits this FRAUD

NSW land tax proposal 'not a bad micro-reform': Mark Latham | Sky News AustraliaNSW One Nation leader Mark Latham says the proposed introduction of a new method of taxation would give people the option to “choose” between the old stamp tax and a new land tax. \n\nMr Latham said instead of paying a large amount of money up-front in stamp duty taxes, potential buyers could opt for a second option to pay a reduced amount of money each year in land tax for the period where they owned the property. \n\nHe said this would in fact “benefit those who move around regularly” and would not negatively impact those who intend to put down roots in and live in a single residence for an extended period of time.\n\nWhile, Sky News host Rita Panahi said a land tax was “a terrible idea” and the only reason state government’s were doing it was to “increase revenue,” Mr Latham said the new system could be beneficial for homeowners.\n\n“The problem with stamp duty is that it punishes mobility and is a big upfront tax which stops people from moving around,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray. \n\n“In our modern economy mobility is a good thing, so I think opening up an option for people to pay in the second stream a smaller amount of land tax every year is not a bad micro-reform”. \n A land tax is unfair people have already paid their stamp duty, they will effectively more than double taxed. The proposal comes from the Liberals who always claim they are for lower taxes 🙄. What next? A GST rise? They really want to raise the great big tax on everything. Either way the extortion will continue. In WA we already pay both Land Tax and Stamp Duty.

Twitter fact-checks President’s tweetsTwitter has taken a dramatic step to bring Donald Trump’s tweets into line, in a move that’s raised eyebrows around the world. About time. An old article: One that Trump well & truly knows, and is a major reason he thinks he can by-pass any of the T&C that may impact his 'free speech'. He is renown for exploiting loopholes, renown for thinking he is above reproach or being held accountable. Even Twitter has a limit to how crazy your BS can be.

New Twitter fact-check feature ‘pushing anti-Trump political spin’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says a “fascinating new battlefront” has emerged when it comes to “fake news” and the ongoing mainstream media campaign targeting US President Donald Trump.\n\nSocial Networking service Twitter has now added fact-check warnings to Donald Trump’s Tweets, something the president says is an infringement on free speech. \n\nMr Kenny said the feature “claims to be sending people to relevant facts” but instead “it sends them to a fact check by CNN and other left-of-centre and anti-Trump organisations”. \n\n“Of course, Trump's claims about the risk of fraud and political skulduggery are absolutely valid”. \n\n“So when Twitter tries to steer people to the facts it is not defeating Fake News, it is favouring one angle of political spin over another angle of spin”. \n\nMr Kenny also said the fact-check feature could be used on Australia’s national broadcaster considering the ABC got “Brexit wrong, the Trump election wrong” and the last federal election result wrong too. \n\n“This sudden interest in fact checking is fascinating isn't it.\n\n“They only love it when it is turned against Trump, and in favour of the green Left”. \n\nImage: AP realDonaldTrump This is worrying! I call for realDonaldTrump to deregister Twitter if they continue to “misbehave”. At least suspend it until the election is over! Cop that for fairness!! realDonaldTrump Sky News host Chris Kenny is nothing more than a pair of legs emerging from Trump's arse, he has crawled so far up there. realDonaldTrump RACIST FALUN GONG CULT WHO BELIEV BLACK PEOPLE ARE AN ABOMINATION FORGOTTEN BY THE GODS & MIXED MARRIED PEOPLE SHOULD BE ERADICATED SUPPORT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN.
