Twitter will help explain missing tweets in conversations
[ad_1] You can expect the change to take effect within a “few weeks.” The move is ultimately an extension of Twitter’s process for adding context to individually deleted tweets, and achieves the same goals.

Trump’s ‘Social Media Summit’ was a celebration of conspiracy theorists
[ad_1] “A big subject today at the White House Social Media Summit will be the tremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression practiced by certain companies,” Trump tweeted. “We will not let them get away with it much longer.” While Trump didn’t mention Facebook and Twitter by name, it’s not hard to figure out who he […]
Twitter was down and we were free
[ad_1] Today the timeline stopped. Everything just came to a halt for the first time in a long time. “Twitter is down,” we’d scream from our keyboards, if we had access to Twitter.

Federal appeals court rules Trump can’t ban critics on Twitter
[ad_1] It’s not yet known if Trump and the Justice Department will try to escalate the appeal, although that appears likely. The White House has maintained that Trump’s personal account (the one he uses most often) isn’t covered by the First Amendment like an official account would be, and that muting Twitter users wouldn’t be […]
The White House’s social media summit may not include Facebook and Twitter
[ad_1] The sources said the summit would not be a serious attempt to discuss issues like privacy or security, but rather “would amount to a right-wing grievance session.” Supporting this assertion is the fact that right-wing commentators who have complained of anti-conservative bias and censorship on social media have been invited, as reported in the […]
The EU’s election interference alert system isn’t working properly
[ad_1] The political landscape is a significant problem by itself. Russia frequently exploits European websites and far-right political parties to further its agenda, but EU analysts aren’t allowed to send warnings or debunk campaigns when they come from European outlets.
