Twitter is enlisting its users to help combat misinformation on its service by flagging and notating misleading and false tweets.

Twitter said it wants both experts and non-experts to write Birdwatch notes. It cited Wikipedia as a site that thrives with non-expert contributions.

Twitter, along with other social media companies, has been grappling how best to combat misinformation on its service. Despite tightened rules and enforcement, falsehoods about the U.S. presidential election and the coronavirus continue to spread. To help weed out unhelpful or troll-created notes, for instance, Twitter plans to attach a “helpfulness score” to each one and will label helpful ones “currently rated helpful."

I’m starting to hate this mf app...

Wait so what misinformation are they flagging? If someone says I like this team, band or movie because it’s better than that team, band or movie, is that opinion or fact. So someone who disagrees with me can flag me?

You mean like we did for 4 years with the OrangeMenace and they waited until his ass was voted out to finally kick him off Twitter?! No thanks, they can do their own damn work.

We’re not users, we’re each part of the product. Social media isn’t useful to those who read and/or watch it, it’s useful to those that manipulate them into thinking what they’re reading or watching is of value.

We are on it Twitter I’ll dm my Venmo I don’t work for free🥰
