Twitters Adds Labels To Tweets Containing Content From Russian State News Sites
New Delhi: After posting tips for users on how to keep their accounts safe amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Twitter has now announced it will label all tweets that contain content from Russian state-affiliated media websites, the media has reported. According to Yoel Roth, Twitter's Head of Site Integrity, the platform would start labeling links to Russian state-affiliated news sites, such as the English-language Russia Today, national news agency TASS and others and make the affiliation clear. The “overwhelming majority” of content from state-backed Russian media -- more than 45,000 tweets a day -- is being tweeted by individuals, not media accounts, Twitter said Monday in a statement. Earlier last week, amid the rising conflict between Russia and Ukraine, social networking giant Facebook and Twitter started suggesting users in Ukraine to lock and close their accounts, to prevent Russia from hacking and spreading disinformation via the manipulated social media accounts.
