Twitter is one of those places where people like to exercise their “free speech” (which could be argued as one of the platform’s biggest problems). but then t here are deep fake videos. Those videos alike other misinformation that spreads on Twitter have manipulated forms of video, that Twitter now believes that they can tackle.
Beginning 5 March, Twitter intends to fully begin removing content that appears manipulated.
“You may not deceptively share synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm,” Twitter said in a blog post. “In addition, we may label Tweets containing synthetic and manipulated media to help people understand the media’s authenticity and to provide additional context.”
“Part of our job is to closely monitor all sorts of emerging issues and behaviors to protect people on Twitter,” Del Harvey, Twitter’s vice president of trust and safety, said on a Tuesday call with reporters. “Our goal was really to provide people with more context around certain types of media they come across on Twitter and to ensure they’re able to make informed decisions around what they’re seeing.”
