The US president accused the tech giant of "stifling the truth."
According to Twitter spokesperson Katie Rosborough, the tweets were labelled because they contain “potentially misleading information about voting processes.”
Even Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey explained that labeling two of President Donald Trump's tweets with fact checks does not make the social media company an "arbiter of truth." Dorsey assumed
accountability for Twitter’s actions and said, "There is someone ultimately
accountable for our actions as a company, and that's me.”
Mark Zuckerberg said that "I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online."
On this issue, I would take the side of Twitter providing it's users guidance to know the facts and make informed choices or opinions. Fact-checking should be in the DNA of tech giants whose platforms have a global reach and influence.
