Twitter to remove false claims about coronavirus vaccines, add label to misleading tweets

Adding to its slew of regulations to help combat misinformation, Twitter plans to implement measures to rid its platform of false information concerning the COVID-19 vaccine, the company announced Wednesday.

“Starting next week, we will prioritize the removal of the most harmful misleading information, and during the coming weeks, begin to label Tweets that contain potentially misleading information about the vaccines,” Twitter stated in a news release.

The company already has tools in place to remove misinformation regarding the nature of the novel coronavirus and how it spreads, acceptable social distancing guidelines, official regulations and restrictions, and information regarding how harmful COVID-19 can be.

Beginning Dec. 21, information that Twitter will take action against could include:

  • “False claims that suggest immunizations and vaccines are used to intentionally cause harm to or control populations, including statements about vaccines that invoke a deliberate conspiracy;
  • False claims which have been widely debunked about the adverse impacts or effects of receiving vaccinations; or
  • False claims that COVID-19 is not real or not serious, and therefore that vaccinations are unnecessary.“

  1. Translation-tweeter is under CCP control too. The chicoms have their fangs into every aspect of American culture and government. Get off of tweeter and fakebook- they are both propaganda (and spying) tools of the deep state/CCP. We are living in scary times.
