Twitter placed Today a warning over U.S. president Donald Trump's post which alleged that Democrats were trying to “steal” the election, the social network has hidden the tweet behind a message warning that his tweet was disputed and might be misleading.
“We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election,” Trump tweeted at 12:49 a.m. ET on Wednesday. We will never let them do it, according to Los Angeles Times.
On other hand, the Twitter Safety team said, “We placed a warning on a Tweet from @realDonaldTrump for making a potentially misleading claim about an election. This action is in line with our Civic Integrity Policy.”
Later, Twitter announced on last Monday, its policies before the U.S. elections to include specific rules that detailed how it would handle tweets making claims about election results before they were official.
The tweets are eligible to be labeled if the account has a U.S. 2020 candidate label, including presidential candidates and campaigns, meaning the Trump and Biden campaigns will not be immune to the new policies, the firm reported.
On other hand, the minimum is either 25,000 Likes or 25,000 Quote Tweets plus Retweets, the company reported. This aims to clamp down on allowing misinformation to go viral.
