It appears to be way outside the rules they'd written, but it's in this totally new context. And so in response to these tweets, Twitter decided to do something: they labeled these two tweets with an exclamation point and a bit of text that read, "Get the facts about mail-in ballots. It's not about being right 100 percent of the time. They just couldn't do it accurately. They don't think maybe they have, but they've made a news judgment. I mean, it's the first time that Twitter or Facebook have fact-checked the President of the United States. So you've got two different places, two different cultural stories.
We added that so in any future cases, people would know what to do.They removed -- they discover it was culturally appropriate and a thing that people do, and they decided to remove the photo?That outraged individual is our editor, Soren Wheeler.Because when a problem grows large enough, you have to change the rules. I haven’t seen West Wing, so I don’t think that one would make much sense to me.

The idea that you want to protect political speech I have sympathy with, but you would not do what they're doing.Basically, he's saying they're being incredibly selective in what political speech they're choosing to privilege.You just -- you can't stand there and say you're all in favor of free expression while banning political cartoons for hate speech.
]I did hundreds of interviews for print. There was this three-hour gun battle and intense fighting all weekend long.
So who knows where we're going now? And this happened at the exact same moment. Whatever. So there's one click that they've put between you and the information itself.Then let's say you want to retweet that. "Folks were posting about clashes between drug cartels and government forces. All rights reserved. Here were cars riddled with bullets. But here's where you see a real fork in the road, because simultaneously ...We have a different policy, I think, than Twitter on this. Radiolab is created by Jad Abumrad with Robert Krulwich, and produced by Soren Wheeler. We have no reports of anything. And as Mark Zuckerberg explained during an interview on Fox News ...You know, I just believe strongly that -- that Facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online. And maybe where we should have been always.This episode was reported by Simon Adler with help from Tracie Hunte, and produced by Simon with help from Bethel Habte.Big thanks to Sarah Roberts, whose research into commercial content moderation got us going big time, and we thank her very, very much for that.Thanks also to Jeffrey Rosen who helped us in our thinking about what Facebook is.To Michael Chernus, whose voice we used to mask other people's voices.Ryan Dugan, Ellen Silver, James Mitchell and Guy Rosen.And of course, to all the content moderators who took the time to talk to us.
4 comments. We're gonna let this post stand.So you've got same post, two different companies, coming to two very different decisions.And so to make sense of this difference, I gave another call ...I think that I under -- I mean, I get both decisions. You click "Retweet," and instead of just being able to retweet, another box pops up that says, "Comment on this tweet."
I mean, if you're gonna come up with a pretextual reason, just do it more effectively. I saw the movie version on YouTube first and I recognized the story right away. It’s a short episode, and it has some twists to it, so I’ll just share the […] In addition to it being dangerous and wrong, it was just ridiculously badly done. ]And this question has been popping up a lot recently. And just willy-nilly they've become CBS, ABC, New York Times, Herald Tribune, Atlantic Monthly, and all these other things. But what we're gonna do is we're going to shield that information and neuter this tweet's ability to spread.Hmm.
George Floyd! I mean, bodies hanging, dangling off of overpasses to prove to the world that this was really happening. Then I recommend "The West Wing Weekly". Rise up, and put back our pictures right now.
Like, a photo of someone who has just kicked a soccer ball, you can tell the ball is in the air, but there is no contact between the foot and the ball in that moment potentially. They said, "Listen, if you're saying something that is false about the pandemic or about COVID-19, we are going to remove what you said no matter what. But before they can pull the lever, word starts making its way up the chain.According to my sources, an executive under Zuckerberg sent down an order.... we were essentially told, "Make the exception. How do you -- how do you do both of those things?So the first thing they do is, if you're scrolling down your Twitter feed and you come across this tweet, instead of seeing the text of that tweet all you see is, "This tweet has violated the Twitter rules about glorifying violence." And I'd go to my boss and say, "Hey, look, this is the decision we made. First thing they had to consider was that this -- this tweet did break their rules. We do not need to get a drink. And it's worth noting that more and more of this work is being done in an automated fashion, particularly with content like gore or terrorist propaganda.
