Twitter says it will begin restricting more content coming from crisis situations like the war in Ukraine
Twitter and other social media companies have turned to similar measures in fighting other forms of misinformation—prominently doing so during the last presidential election. Twitter has been seen as a leader in this space, often coming before like-minded initiatives from Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. And while the efforts may seem noble to some, it unquestionably places Twitter in a difficult situation, needing to arbitrate what constitutes misinformation.
Historically, no one has been satisfied with Twitter’s moderating actions. Liberals say Twitter doesn’t do enough. Conservatives, like Musk, say it does too much. In the end, no one’s happy! And Twitter is stuck taking it from both sides.
