> Instead, when users attempted to react to or share the tweet, a message popped up from the platform reading, “we try to prevent a Tweet like this that otherwise breaks the Twitter Rules from reaching more people, so we have disabled most of the ways to engage with it.” The policy on claims about elections appears to be outlined here: > We will label or remove false or misleading information intended to undermine public confidence in an election or other civic process. This includes but is not limited to: > disputed claims that could undermine faith in the process itself, such as unverified information about election rigging, ballot tampering, vote tallying, or certification of election results; and > misleading claims about the results or outcome of a civic process which calls for or could lead to interference with the implementation of the results of the process, e.g. claiming victory before election results have been certified, inciting unlawful conduct to prevent the procedural or practical implementation of election results (note that our violent threats policy may also be relevant for threats not covered by this policy). https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/election-integrity-policy https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/election-inte... Twitter is really building a quagmire for itself here. It's trivial to "dispute" a claim. Who "verifies" a claim? What Twitter really seems to be saying is that they'll remove content they don't like. There's veneer of process and impartiality, but it crumbles even on superficial examination. Why not just come out and say that Twitter owns the platform and will delete or manipulate anything at any time for any reason?
