    As usual, the missing question for all such initiatives on social media platforms is how many people *on staff* are assessing these reports, globally, and what's the criteria? Meanwhile, opposing groups start mass reporting each other as "misleading" in 3, 2, 1...https://twitter.com/KimZetter/status/1427732351191109637 …

    I just reported @TwitterSafety's tweet announcing new option to report "misleading" tweets. Here's how it looks when you do it. First screen shows "it's misleading" in menu after you click on "report tweet." Second shows what you see next; third shows tag at top of reported tweet pic.twitter.com/jFGs1Wwiz4

        Hey folks, this isn't something I'm working on, but the policies in this area are published already in the Twitter Rules. It's an experiment, it's an important area, people are trying things out. Keep your fingers crossed along with us. 🤞

        “Misleading” is WAY too vague. Needs one more level of detail, like false data, cognitive bias, faulty logic, outright lie, all of the above. But that’s probably too much for most people. Algorithms can only get them so far until the ML catches up.

        they would most certainly have a filter for organic reports coming from outside known disinfo networks & accounts or rolling this out would be idiotic

        i’m very concerned that these will be handled by machine learning algorithms given the company’s rhetoric from when i was there and their unwillingness to admit that the rules are enforced inconsistently

        One wonders if fact checking “information“ is a wild goose chase. Better, let’s remember that it’s “social“ media and stick to puppies and selfies.
