We know that some Tweets include manipulated photos or videos that can cause people harm. Today we're introducing a new rule and a label that will address this and give people more context around these Tweets https://twitter.com/...

Twitter has finally released its new policies around deepfakes and other forms of manipulated media, following a public consultation. My immediate take: they actually did a not terrible job! (Better than Facebook in most ways.) https://twitter.com/...

This seems like a good approach to how platforms can try to fix the inherent problems of giving people the tools of media production without any of the responsibilities: It's transparent, honest and clear. The problem, as ever, will be in enforcement. https://blog.twitter.com/...

So twitter is banning “deceptively share synthetic or manipulated media that are likely to cause harm” which reads to me like deepfakes and Pelosi videos. Really interesting blog post here: https://blog.twitter.com/...

Big move by Twitter. Will this new willingness to provide context translate to action on deception in written (not image/video) form? https://blog.twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
