How come tweets like these aren't tagged as misinformation

  Because telling people to turn off their devices when not in use is not harmful. I mean, I can tell you I drank orange juice this morning when in fact I didn't. So it's misinformation. But it's not harming you to believe me.

  > tweets like these A quick way to #saveenergy at home is to turn off tablets, laptops and consoles as soon as you stop using them, and ideally unplug them. This is a big potential #energy saver and could save you up to £30 a year. > aren't tagged as misinformation The only misinformation I see here is up to £30 a year as households would save more than £30 a year by doing this.

  Because they aren't considered political. Platforms are mostly only looking for political deviations, something that a politician or lobbying group could complain about. If you tweeted that turning off your Apple devices would save 30£ a year, for example, and other people started picking up on it, Apple would complain and it would become political. Twitter exclusively hunts political deviation; they're not even nipple-hunters like the other platforms. edit: even its search for threats/abuse seems to be modeled on the "Zero Tolerance" policies of suburban schools in the '90s-'00s. Posting finger-guns might get you deleted like it would have gotten a second-grader suspended.

  Probably because it's contradicting asinine advice based on outdated data and flawed assumptions. A better version might be tonhave peoole look at what they have in their home thats using electricity and why.
