Twitter has announced that it will begin labeling tweets that violate its Hateful Conduct policy, in an effort to limit the visibility of problematic content. Users will see a notice that Twitter is limiting the post’s visibility and will have an opportunity to learn more about why the tweet was flagged. The labeling will initially cover a limited range of policy violations, but Twitter plans to expand this in the coming months.
While users can provide feedback on a label they feel is in error, they will not be able to formally appeal decisions until some point in the future. Twitter has emphasized that the labels will only apply to individual tweets and not entire accounts.
