Manipulated content will be limited as of March 5 on Twitter. Twitter is one of the social networks in which the most There are montages, "Deepfakes" or manipulated images, which is why the blue bird's social network has shown some novelties that it brings with it with this new policy.
Manipulated content on social media is worrisome due to the amount of fake news that is shown every day through images or mounts. The main problem with these montages and “Deepfakes” is that many users believe that they are true when they really are not and tend to damage the image of politicians and companies.
From March 5th, Twitter will join the control of manipulated content as Instagram already did. In the case of Twitter, and as in Instagram, we can continue to see the photograph, although before doing so we must know that it is manipulated content, and therefore false.
Unlike Instagram, which only reviews the photo, Twitter will evaluate the following aspects of the tweet:
- The text that accompanies the tweet.
- The metadata associated with the contents.
- The profile information of the person sharing the content.
- The websites linked in the user's profile or found in the tweet next to the photo.
These sections are key for the regulation of manipulated content, otherwise it could be the end of "memes" or content made not to inform, but to make us laugh.
It should be noted that Twitter users themselves will also be able to report tweets as before, although for now we do not know if Twitter will have the help from external companies to be able to verify if information is true or false.
The consequences of creating this type of content that as of March 5 will violate Twitter's use policies, so it is hoped that they can suspend or even close the account within the social network.
What do you think of the new Twitter policies? Do you think we can provide accurate information more easily?
