Twitter strike system will permanently ban users who repeatedly post COVID-19 misinformation
Twitter says it will apply warnings to tweets that contain misleading information about COVID-19 vaccines and implement a strike system that could see users permanently banned for repeat violations.
Key points:
- Twitter says it has removed thousands of tweets since December which spread misinformation about COVID-19
- The new strike system will ban users who break their policy guidelines five times
- Twitter most notably issued several warning labels on tweets from former US president Donald Trump
The social media network started promoting public health information before COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic.
It also aimed to remove demonstrably false or misleading content about the virus that had the highest risk of causing harm.
