Twitter Will Label Political Tweets That Break Rules

“Twitter has long said it is unlikely to take down politicians’ most vitriolic tweets — including President Trump’s — but it now plans to label them if they break its rules,” the Washington Post reports.

“The new label applies to all verified political candidates and government officials with more than 100,000 followers… Before users can view the language in newly flagged tweets, they will need to click on a screen that says, ‘The Twitter Rules about abusive behavior apply to this Tweet. However, Twitter has determined it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain available.'”
