Yep. People use filters and image retouching a lot.
If Twitter wants users to pay attention to items of content which are particularly misleading, they need to avoid alert fatigue - i.e. these notices need to be rare and reliable.
- jka 7y agoNB: The only long-term solution to this conundrum that I can see is that people become genuinely confident and comfortable sharing who they are without self-editing and self-censoring, and that we collectively appreciate and understand that. Until then -- and especially in the presence of rewards for narcissism (iPhones, Instagram, venues designed solely for vanity) -- filtering and editing your own self-image is at least understandable, and at worst rational or beneficial. That leads to issues determining (and putting into writing) the difference between malign manipulation / generation of truth and the behaviour of a reasonable person.
