Twitter has announced its new crisis misinformation policy in a company blog post today. This global policy will ensure that the information you see on the site is credible. Announced by Yoel Roth, Twitter’s head of safety and integrity, the platform aims to reduce viral misinformation spread during crises.
As false information in struggling times harms public trust, the social media giant is helping to slow the spread. Twitter has worked with global experts and human rights organizations while developing the framework of this policy.
Twitter defines crises as “situations in which there is a widespread threat to life, physical safety, health, or basic subsistence.”
