IN AN EFFORT TO REIGN IN FREE SPEECH… TWITTER UNVEILED A NEW POLICY YESTERDAY THAT WARNS TWEETERS.
WORLD LEADERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WHO MAKE INAPPROPRIATE TWEETS ARE NOW SUBJECT TO CONTENT STANDARDS AND TWITTER FOLLOWERS WILL BE ALERTED IF THE TWEET VIOLATES THOSE CONTENT STANDARDS. “TWEET MONITORS” SAY THEY’RE WARNING USERS THAT THE CONTENT MAY BE OFFENSIVE, HOWEVER THE TWEET IS STILL OF “PUBLIC INTEREST.”
TWITTER SAYS TWEET MONITORS ARE MEMBERS FROM ITS TRUST AND SAFETY, LEGAL, PUBLIC POLICY AND REGIONAL TEAMS.
