Twitter has announced that it will be labelling misleading tweets about the war in Ukraine with warning notices

This comes amidst increasing amounts of false information on social media, even from official sources.

Already over 300 Russian government accounts have been restricted on Twitter, including President Vladimir Putin.

These accounts will not be deleted as Twitter is keeping them for “accountability” reasons but misleading posts, particularly from accounts with wide reach will be flagged.

These posts will appear with a warning which users will first need to click through in order to view the post.

Twitter’s head of security and safety says “While this first iteration is focused on international armed conflict, starting with the war in Ukraine, [they] plan to update and expand the policy to include additional forms of crisis”.

Some of the false information has included allegations of war crimes, inaccurate portrayal of the international response and flawed recounts regarding use of force.

Twitter will be addressing various sources to assess the accuracy of these tweets.

US and China approve TikTok’s sale to Oracle and Silver Lake amid regulatory scrutiny, with ByteDance retaining 20%.

The United States and China have officially approved a deal for TikTok’s US operations to be sold to American investors, led by Oracle and Silver Lake.

This marks a major shift in the social media landscape as the platform navigates increasing regulatory scrutiny.

Under the new agreement, ByteDance will retain just under 20% of TikTok US, while Oracle and Silver Lake will each take 15% stakes. Other investors will also participate, forming a structure designed to satisfy both commercial and regulatory demands.

The new US-based entity will have a majority American board tasked with overseeing data protection and content moderation. Despite these safeguards, concerns remain about ByteDance’s influence and whether the deal fully complies with recent legislation.
