New York Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says that labeling two of President Donald Trump's tweets with fact checks does not make the social media company 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," Dorsey tweeted Wednesday night. Dorsey was responding to a firestorm of criticism the company has received from conservatives after Twitter began fact checking Trump, who is arguably its most prolific user.
For almost three n half years,more then 300 americans is manipulated by one person, Trump.What a joke
Lair.
come on Dorsey...grow a pair and stand up to this idiot
trump made many death and lies as a leader in suprise trump still tweeting. covid19 coronavirus COVID19Pandemic
Twitter facts check with fake dact “checkers” time to regulate twitter
Jack, I appreciate U have this courage to try to correct sth. But can U do one more important job? To flag those illegal tweets from china becuase tweets thru VPN violates china civil law. If U allow them, U'll be the accomplice of those criminals. 翻牆
Yes, that’s exactly what it does. Sorry, yank publisher exemptions and allow for lawsuits.
Facebook = Republicans Twitter = Democrats Twitter will soon join MySpace.
mikezocchi123 But they aren't fact checks
Jack should remove this unwanted customer realDonaldTrump
No, it makes twitter a bigger joke and less creditable than before. Keep it up and enjoy your new government regulations.
Fact check....yes it does!
BS, people on Twitter spewing lies all day long. Label them too. You can start with CNN
They say “arbiter of truth” like it’s a bad thing.
That’s actually exactly what that means. He even used a CNN article for the fact check. He may as well have just used a magic 8-ball.
Twitter should just go dark for a week.
Lies !!! Twitter is soooooooooooo far left its insane !!
Both suck and twitter
You’re both biased, CNN and Twitter
Exactly!!!!!! That goes for CNN and MSDNC!!😝
They cited and washingtonpost. They clearly weren't concerned with truth.
Great response Twitter See, Facebook .. take nores and not people's information
Jack Dorsey looks just like Peter Dinklage from game of thrones.
Is he really wearing nose ring. What a dufus!
You will be the fighter and hero
It promotes honesty. Something☠ tRump☠ has never had.☠ tRump☠ just corruption racism lieing and now mass murder, which he trys to ignore. We won't, doesn't matter how much chaos he trys to start. We'll never forget this.☠ tRumps☠ way to solve a problem is to ignore it.
Why doesn’t someone come out and say ‘calling a lie, a lie isn’t wrong!’
Twitter is a company not a government. They are free to regulate their product anyway they so chose. If you don’t like it stay off Twitter. Anyone making a free speech argument here doesn’t understand what free speech is.
Fact checking with fake news sources is political bias. Stop.
CNN - FAKE NEWS! Twitter censors and removes likes and retweets for anyone in favor of Trump. This is well known. Class action lawsuit will follow. FAKENEWS OBAMAGATE Trump2020LandslideVictory
Jack as CEO of Twitter i am hoping you will not let Trump Bully you in to not fact checking the lies this liar Tells everyday.We as a nation have had to listen to this liar for almost four years.Even at press conferences seems like the news media is afraid to take this liar on
Trump, the most CORRUPT crminal in the states just hates when people call him out on his lies... good luck with that executive order asshole lol
And he’s the CEO 😂
Spend some time clicking on the Maga twitter pages and you’ll see that they are all incredibly suspect. An army of troll bots
Glad you did that ! Keep up the good work . Apparently there are ppl who feel lying is appropriate.. Reality is where its at. Lying /“disinformation” : synonym for bullshit.
Allowing CNN, Mika, liberals, etc to spread lies- but censoring and shadow banning all Republican/Conservatives does actually..
Nor does it make his lame approach effective.
How does it not?
He can't take the truth.
'Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves.” Well Jack you need to do this for all not just Trump. Like China’s twitter feed.
It LITERALLY does and he did.
This is double speak for 'don't believe your lying eyes, believe what you are told by us'.
did anybody checked CNN 'facts'?
It makes Twitter an out of control censorship mechanism. You can’t ban truth; even if it’s the only opportunity to defeat Donald. Reinstate all of the accounts that Twitter has banned and let the people decide what is accurate.
Idea: if you are an elected official and using twitter to disseminate information, twitter should label all with “fact check” to remind people that they should check things out for themselves
Twitter It makes a difference when you only fact check the President, yet not one single Democrat. Jack Dorsey has decided to bow to the threats of House Democrats and liberal media instead of serving the millions of PEOPLE who made him a billionaire.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Headline from cnn..that’s hysterical.
He has the “Jr” beard ... trumper🤷🏻♂️
Is libel not a thing anymore?
How dose CNN able to Tweet, they have no Idea what TRUTH is.... jack you going to do anything?
Twitter and Trump should not do what they did or allow it
So what’s your basis for fact checking? Wapo, cnn, nytimes? 😂
Not just 'arbiter of truth', but also that you shouldn't fall to presures to clamping down on the so called 'ConspiracyTheories'. Allow both sides of a story. And let us be the one to determine which story has the most superior argument. Let's be the judge of that.
It shows Twitter is biased, just like cnn. 👎
They should fact check you
Furthermore... Did twitter employees actually fact check, do research or merely linked to Trump's tweets? any fact checking processing without independent investigative journalism is flawed. Twitter says they did research ...well then they are editors.
Especially when twitter is using CNN as its source
Some fake news later turn truth until it's happen, U gotta keep it clean
What took you so long? Other than the big cash cow Trump has been all these years with his circus.
This dude better figure it out. If Trump gets banned from Twitter he's likely to burn this whole place to the ground.
Maybe arrange a special investigation and bring twitter to the table to answer questions like they did with Zuckerberg
Trump's Twitter account should have been suspended years ago. It's an abuse of platform to use Twitter to publicly attack other people. It's disgusting this example that this so-called President sets. And people actually follow this moron!
It kinda does thou.... He just open a shit storm.
Well, JACK, I'm betting there's a reason the main word in the title of your platform is 'TWIT.' For future reference and to avoid confusion, here's the definition. TWIT: to taunt, tease, ridicule, etc., with reference to anything embarrassing; gibe at.
I agree, fact checking never hurt anybody, accept the people who don’t like to be fact checked. People can judge for themselves who to believe. We’re not all robots , like right wingers.
Where does it stop? Timcast and joerogan discussed this a year or two ago.
twitter launch the fight for freedom of expression. it is not about Trump he is just on their way. it is about all of us and about the base of democracy.
Then why do it ?
If Jack had the BALLS, he would have banned him three years ago! After his 'RIGGED ACCQUITAL' from Impeachment, thinks he can do anything!
so out of all the tweets in the world they only tagged trump’s. seems legit.
Keep in doing it. Another candidate: Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, “president of Mexico 🇲🇽, please!
Zuckerberg said the same exact thing! Say, have you guys been colluding?
Young Rich CEOs suddenly think they control the world that they’re smarter and Have all of us under control. CEO’s you don’t, there’s far more Americans than there are you. Be very careful CEOs. It’s not a threat it’s just a fact. Don’t piss America off
Does he fact check Iranian president, chinese officals, muslim imams, other ferals......NO... ummm dare i say biased
So fact checking 2 tweets makes Twitter the new gestapo?!! I suggest those that don't want to be part of nazi twitter stop using it and leave (of course they won't!). Trump supporters can leave and continue to get their 'truth' from Fox and Breitbart (cos they are 100 legit!)
What makes the social media boards like twiteer or facebook practicing the judges role or the parents role on the world ?! Most of their ' policies ' interprets that and they are unfair and taking sides
But if your mom, dad or a teacher tells you to check the facts first then no problem? All twitter suggested was to check the facts. People should be everytime trump opens his mouth.
It does make it an editor/publisher and no longer a platform. Good luck with that jack
Re Twitter censuring Trump, says Twitter responding to “firestorm of criticism the company has received from conservatives.” So liberals and moderates don’t care about this? is so fake news that it is a danger to democracy.
GO TO HELL CNN...I HAVE SEEN A FUTURE WITH NO PARTISAN MEDIA....
Fact check everyone then 🤷🏽♂️
Twitter is doing what it should have been doing the past 3.5 years in regards to this monsters false and misleading tweets. Another dangerous culprit is Tomi Lahren TomiLahren who should also have her tweets labeled as dangerous misinformation.
Buhahaha, Just make twitter part of the democrat party!
Thank you, Jack Dorsey, for doing the right thing.
It actually does.
Trumpturds don't believe this but there are such things as facts and no, they are not being told what you want to hear. Donny Trump is a lying shitbag, FACT. There is almost no voter fraud in the USA, FACT. Absentee voting does not create voter fraud, FACT.
It’s Twitter arbitrary of exploiting its power to foist free speech with its own corruption.... We don’t trust Twitter and it will be shutdown due its unlawful behavior to invade privacy of pole opinion
No just proves Trumps a liar
So when an authority lies it should not be pointed out ? Mmmhhhh.. sometimes I wonder what world I live in
It sways the narrative if only certain posts / accounts are not ‘fact checked’. Like when YouTube decides to suppress/demonetize videos of doctors who say things that go against the WHO’s version of things.
Except that it does...
Don’t backpeddle now. Use that same energy with ALL politicians not just the ones you don’t agree with. If not, you will be seen for what you truly are.
If drumpf weren’t a POS liar, there would be no need to fact check. realDonaldTrump
Fact check means your too damn lazy to do your own research! Both parties have been caught rigging elections, WAKE UP!
To those urging Twitter to fact check , I think the response from would be to go for it!
This tweet needs a fact check. FakeNews
😮😮😮😮
Why not fact check 3 years of consistent lies from CNN?
It’s the only way to shut Drump up from his crazy tweets. We’re all sick of him starting wars on Twitter like a 12 year old
Sadly for Jack, soon Twitter will have no special, protected status.
Some people need help in critical thinking. Every little bit helps.
Reduce his character limit to 140...
Then why fact check lol
WWG1WGA WWG1WGA_WORLDWIDE
In another country, Trump would be in a mental hospital. In USA he's a president.
Does Jack really knows that his twitter policies are continually becoming more dictatorial than Mussolini and Stalin combined?
WWG1WGA WWG1WGA_WORLDWIDE
This is a collosal lie. There are millions of fake tweets that are not flagged by Twitter. You guys just want to control what people believe. Even is not a saint.
😂
CNN IS A LIE. FACT.
JusticeForCarolyn
Then what are they doing
Very partisan behavior, yet pedos aren't even censored on Twitter
Gestapo Jack.
That's a lie he's pushing a political agenda the company needs to be shut down
This dick
As a Twitter stock holder and as an American Citizen, I thank you and urge you to do this to all politicians.
Trumps tweets are fake news. Well done to Twitter for fact checking
It just identifies what is a lie, which is most everything Trump says!
That true. They should also fact check CNN also.🤷👎
Mark Zuckerberg laughing 😂 at you now
Facts are facts. The truth is the truth. It's an absolute state, not subject to degrees or gradation. People need not to agree with them for them to remain facts. Thanks Twitter.
Social medias companies must know that it's not their responsibility to add ' fact check' tag.Twitter
They should fact check obama spying on the trump campaign lol
Close his account,it’s a private business don’t allow him to dictate how you run it
I thought the definition of the media WAS supposed to be an arbiter of truth? I mean, if they don't determine that something's true, they aren't supposed to print it at all, right? Does that not make them arbiters by trade? He can't tell the press not to be the press.
You assist communist & socialist countries in censoring & misleading their people let alone all the lies their leaders tell like China saying the US Army started Covid 19, yet you go after Trump just months away from the Presidential election. Your bias precedes you. Twitterlies
The reason Trump is hated by the media is because he has taken their power to manipulate and brainwash everyone. He is draining the swamp. If you don’t see that you are part of the problem. Wake up!
TRUTH IS NOT A SIN!! HOWEVER IT MADE TRUMP FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE
Bumpy ride ahead for the Jack boy.
Donald Trump is just mad because he’s used to getting his way or the highway. That’s all it comes down to it he’s just throwing a tantrum like a child!
封杀特朗普！他就是一个撒谎的白痴！
Does he label any of CCP's mouthpiece with fact check?
easymarkets Trump is the spewer of lethal lies so jack RemoveTrumpFromTwitterNow
Umm, yes it kind of does.
Врут твои эти сошел...и глаза не дёргаются...правильно Трамп сказал...нужно отвечать за свои слова и в соц сетях тоже
Look at all these diapers sticking up for dumpy Facist45 should be banned from Twitter
How about every other person your trying to silence as well foh
lame explaination and coward.
He should clarify. The facts are elusive and a moving target
You can’t speak out of both sides of your mouth! You covered for Trump and now ticked him off. He instantly throws you under the bus! See? If you allow Trump to campaign on Twitter everyone needs to to be fair. His rights do not over ride my rights. Twitter jack
no shit
Does he have a nose ring
CEO Jack Dorsey says President Trump's tweet Josepha_Lawrenc point on social media scandal
It does tho
Fine but only if you do it to the media, Senators and House equally. One-sides censorship leads to propaganda. You don’t want propaganda now, do ya Jack?
😡
Lol... from my recollection the term 'fact' implies 'truth.'
CNN’s Don Lemon: “Stop hiding behind the First Amendment for profit” This jerk hides behind it everyday for a payday.
realDonaldTrump FYI
since when he get that nose ring tho
I applaud Dorsey's solution. The way it's set up, Trump's free speech isn't restricted, anyone can read his messages in full. Also, a reader doesn't have to 'fact check' Trump's words, but has the option. 🤦🏽♀️Baffling that in the midst of this pandemic, Trump is focused on...
Nobody ever fucking thought that. We just wanted even HINT of responsibility.
Is it means the truth doesn't matter to social media company?
They have zero rights
Yeah, especially since their source was a CNN analysis
“A Twitter spokesperson said the tweets contained 'potentially misleading information about voting processes' and had been 'labeled to provide additional context.'” They’re trying to aim for objectivity here. Something a lot of people are incapable of being.
Twitter is rather a lover of truth. Fact-checking, as every criminal prosecuter knows, is basic for seeking the truth. And yes, the truth threatens the liars.
If schools taught the Constitution properly. if people understood the BillOfRights this wouldn't be a problem. Unalienable Rights,come have the Right to FreedomofSpeech you have a responsibility the tell the Truth platforms shouldn't became publishers
Jack Dorsey is the real NAZI communist in the room.
Twitter SHOULD be the arbiter of truth when the person who holds the highest office in the land is a pathological liar who is slandering citizens. If trump behaved like a president instead of a recalcitrant child, it wouldn't be necessary. But he doesn't, so it is.
So ironic that Trump has a think about 'fake news' when it's his opponents making comments online / on TV etc. Yet, when he comes out with false information ....
Of course Twitter CEO will defend his company 😂😂😂
Clearly, neither is trump.
Here’s the problem: where do you stop? Once you break that seal, if you don’t label something, now that’s an action. Now, if Joe Biden says something, you’ve got to defend why there’s no label. Zuckerberg’s taken the better road IMHO. Better to stay out of it.
He can’t and won’t take the necessary steps because, whether we like it or not, Trump would destroy his platform if he wanted. Sucks. But it is what it is.
Maybe if Trump was a honest person who didn’t repeatedly make up BS about people and call them names this wouldn’t be necessary.
DT is livid about fact checking because the truth is catastrophic to the GOP narrative. He needs these platforms to spread his lies, his rhetoric, his propaganda. If that tool goes away, he can't operate. And the 1st Amend. protects the People from Trump, not Trump from Twitter.
Good move, jack
Well maybe Twitter should cancel his account immediately! It’s not a public funded corporation.
Twitter jail for Trump.
Jack needs to ban Trump from Twitter.
Well Jack talks a lot on twitter regarding reading his Satanist verses while making “pasta”
Trump has TWO Twitter accts. Personal and POTUS. I understand anything posted under the POTUS account should stay due to the fact it is the 'official' presidential acct. That being said, anything under his personal acct should be treated the same as any other personal acct.
