Twitter, in a recent announcement, said it will now disavow tweets from world leaders when they violate its rules. Instead, it will continue to allow those that work in the public interest.
The biggest challenge to this decision is the case of Donald Trump. The president of the United States, like other world leaders, frequently uses the platform to communicate his beliefs and plans to the public through tweets. Many of these violate rules and have previously remained onlinebecause they were considered to be about public opinion.
Twitter's announcement is expected to draw reactions, especially from Trump. There have been many times in the past when Washington Republicans , including the US president, have claimed that tech companies are permanently against them. Even so, without these accusations being substantiated, a complaint through Trump's account will start a new wave of reactions
spokesperson , when asked about this, announced that tweets with such content will not be made public as examples, but those that are of public interest will continue to be displayed. The only thing that is certain, as he stated, is that direct threats of violence or calls to commit violence against an individual will definitely have a warning label. He also announced the existence of a specific group of experts who will be responsible for distinguishing these tweets according to content .
Once a tweet has been highlighted in this way, it will appear less prominently on Twitter, the company said, adding that such posts will not appear in Twitter's "Top Tweets" or live events.
This new warning feature will apply to certified government officials, political candidates and government figures with more than 100,000 followers. Twitter said in March that it was considering implementing the new policy.
