October 16, 2020 Updated: October 16, 2020 https://www.theepochtimes.com/twitter-alters-content-moderation-policy-after-backlash_3541529.html Twitter <https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-twitter> announced policy changes after backlash following the way it handled users sharing a New York Post expose on Hunter Biden, son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, with the company announcing it was implementing the changes “to address the concerns that there could be many unintended consequences to journalists, whistleblowers, and others in ways that are contrary to Twitter’s purpose of serving the public conversation.” Vijaya Gadde, global lead for legal, policy, and trust and safety at Twitter, wrote in a statement <https://twitter.com/vijaya/status/1316923557268652033?s=20> that Twitter would “no longer remove hacked content unless it is directly shared by hackers” or those acting in league with hackers, and that the company “will label tweets to provide context,” rather than blocking links from being shared on the platform. “All the other Twitter Rules will still apply to the posting of or linking to hacked materials, such as our rules against posting private information, synthetic and manipulated media, and non-consensual nudity,” she wrote <https://twitter.com/vijaya/status/1316923558606622720?s=20>. *Click on the link for the rest.* --- Support News from Underground: http://bit.ly/NFUSupport Visit News from Underground: https://markcrispinmiller.com You received this email because you are subscribed to News from Underground.
