Social media platform Twitter will allow freedom of speech but not freedom of reach as it will restrict visibility of tweets that violate its rules, the company said in its policy update. Twitter will initially apply the visibility filter on tweets that are found violating hateful conduct rules and expand it to other domains later.
The social media firm said that Twitter users have the right to express their opinions and ideas without fear of censorship. The social media firm said that it will not place ads adjacent to content that is labelled under the new rule. Starting soon, we will add publicly visible labels to tweets identified as potentially violating our policies letting you know we’ve limited their visibility, the microblogging platform said.
Twitter said that authors will be able to submit feedback on the label, if they think we incorrectly limited their tweet’s visibility. Currently, submitting feedback does not guarantee you will receive a response or that your tweet’s reach will be restored. We are working on allowing authors to appeal our decision, it said.
