Twitter Inc. is giving users the ability to flag tweets that they believe contain misleading information about how to vote in this year’s U.S. presidential election, underscoring efforts to show it is trying to safeguard the process.
Social-media platforms are under particular scrutiny after a Senate committee report in October criticized U.S. tech companies for helping spread disinformation during the 2016 election. Lawmakers called for better coordination of efforts to prevent such activity in the 2020 election.
It’s called the “snitch option.”
Misleading about election=I disagree with what they said about the election. What could go wrong?’
A good start would be for Twitter to stop all the hate remarks. Allow freedom of speech but stop the hatred.
A great step. There are also entire feeds slowly pushing people toward voter suppression. It’s often not just one tweet! They say our government is corrupt, our situation is hopeless, & people should “take to the streets” (sowing civil unrest) on REPEAT. How do we report those?
I think they'll have an easier time implementing this if they crack down on bots
& then what? they'll do sweet fk all..
What could possibly go wrong? censorship
It’s true, I just pulled this off of this tweet. politics Twitter
What does that even mean?!
Oh boy.
. . Any reason for flagging by users - will be used to attack any dissenting political message Roving gangs of flaggers Twitter must know this
You mean... Any trump supporter will be banned Got ya ;)
How can a tweet undermine a person’s voting participation? If a person’s willingness to vote can be swayed just by reading a tweet, it’s probably best they don’t vote.....
Flag this! Don't vote for liberal socialist progressives!
Can't see any possible way this could be abused... 🙄
