by Twitter's Yoel Roth, head of site integrity, and Nick Pickles, director of Global Public Policy Strategy and Development, from when the feature was announced on May 11.
The fact-checking labels were rolled out earlier this month as a way to combat misinformation related to COVID-19, Roth and Pickles wrote. Initially, the labels were mostly used to link back to medical authorities' information about the virus when people posted false claims or misleading information.The labels appear below a tweet and link to a page curated by Twitter staff or"external trusted sources" with more information about the claims made in a tweet.
Initially, Twitter rolled out the feature with three categories of labels. They included"Misleading information" ,"Disputed claims" and"Unverified claims" . Tuesday's labeling of Trump's tweets on mail-in ballots marked the first time the fact-checking labels have been used on the president's tweets.Wednesday threatened that Republicans will try to"close" downRoth and Pickles said they identify tweets using"internal systems" that aim to ensure the platform is not amplifying the tweets with these labels and detecting highly visible content quickly.
The Dicktator_N_Chief will wind up being censored or even have his Twitter account removed if he removes protections for websites. If social media sites have to be legally responsible for user content, they will have no choice but to censor users.
There is a pause when I post. And I get it. But I'm glad because now I know that twitter is being fair across the board. From the leader of this country on to everyone else. We must all be accountable for what comes out of our mouths or pay the price.
I wonder how often MSM will get flagged? Likely not as often as they should, if at all.
They fact checked his opinion with a CNN opinion piece. Counterproductive
Good! Keep doing it! It’s working!
The United States has lost over 600,000 lives to abortion every year for the past 20 years. SocialSecurity will be destroyed by TheDemocrats supporting abortion rather than teaching sexual responsibility!
Come on man. Get an editor.
On principle, doesn’t Twitter now need to put a fact check label on every opinion piece? Jack, you let the Jeannie out of the bottle.
It's censorship and publishing of their opinions. Twitter will lose their protected status. It's about time.
Way to go Twitter
This so called fact checking is nothing more than political for them to push democratic people in the spotlight
They are fake news
😷🙏✌ Vote blue
I hope twitter has many Lawsuits.
Joe Biden cannot string a coherent sentence together. Yet, many in Silicon Valley are compromising their Cash Cow business models to prop up this Zombie Candidate.
Considering all the people who supported arresting church goers, I can't wait to hear all the social media defenders scream 'what about my freedoms' when Trump cracks down on social media! Shut it down!
Any Tweet that has not been fact checked must be correct
This is great that it happened. Finally there is a ground to nationalise the social(ist) media
There is much more swamp draining to be done in Washington DC and regarding social media! Trump 2020! 🇺🇸
Trump should not be able to lie with impunity !! Its disgraceful
who is fact checking the fact checkers?
Facts don’t care about your ego.
It’s censorship. What right to they have to slap a left leaning attachment to Trumps tweet and not do the same to every tweet placed on their platform
So，why does Twitter never fact check the false information tweets of Chinese government wolf warrior diplomats and official medias?
If social media platforms have the time and resources to sensor and fact check all our posts imagine what they could be doing to stop child abuse..
Fake news!!!!
So you all are Opinion journalism, now? But forget that Twitter is a publishers, not an opinion checker. Good luck with these 1st amendment lawsuits coming.
But don’t forget to also fact-check the fact-checkers for yourself
Wouldn't it be funny if China destroyed Facebook and Twitter? Then maybe stupid Americans would read a book or think on their own. At the very least the GOP and Trump lies with Russia's help would be slowed down a bit. Hey China of your listening ...
You can make heaven out of hell, or hell out of heaven. Let your mind see the positives in life☀️
110% there is bias on social media....especially in regards to 'pro-life issues' LiveAction LilaGraceRose and what is 'trending'... Glad to see realDonaldTrump standing up....
Truly speaking for a president's tweet to get a fact-checking label is embarrassing indeed, it's no wonder he's livid, hurling all kinds of threats 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whenever I see a fact checking label I’ll just assume the tweet is true. Thanks for the help jack, I really appreciate it!
Why is pelosi the first thing on my Twitter every time I get on? BIAS! Why is she Never fact checked when she spews lies?! BIAS! Silencing conservatives again
The replies to this are going to be 🍿
That should be done hourly Trump is a Chronic Offender.
Facebook has had a similar algorithm for a long while now, advising users that certain videos,memes and posts are factually inaccurate. This isn’t anything new, and the President shouldn’t be above it .
Shouldn’t 80% of MSNBC and CNN tweets be marked and deleted then?
so we will see Trump how to publish Twitter.
All you need to know is Twitter started with POTUS but not the CCP or state sponsored terrorists in Iran.
jack I don’t trust it because it’s full of double standards ran by censorship czars who are extremely partisan hacks.
FK MUSIC LOL
It’s a crock of shit. That’s all anyone needs to know.
You can’t fact check a prediction based on an option. The link just takes you to other opinions that are probably false. Voter fraud by mail has happened multiple times.
Here what we know- they are actually just “conservative labels” not fact labels and are wildest misleading in and of themselves. Voter fraud is real, has happened, and “twitters fact check” is ludicrous in this regard.
Doesn’t seem fair that they fact check trump but not Biden or cnn or literally anyone else. I don’t blame trump for being mad...
Cupboards bare national debt $21 trillion govts afraid to tax the rich even use the word tax especially with supporters. Govts need money to do what we need them to do and it cant come from $40k wage earners
They could mark all his tweets as misleading without bothering to check and probably still be 90% right.
They should attach them to mine too. I'm only second to FOS to Trump
