Twitter has announced the introduction of measures that will limit the impact of official Russian propaganda on Ukraine on its social network. The official Russian accounts will no longer be “recommended” to Twitter users on all categories of the app, including search, the platform said in a statement. Twitter, like Facebook and Instagram, had already banned the official Russian media RT and Soputnik, considering them factories of ‘fake news’.
“We will not expand or recommend government accounts that belong to states that restrict access to free information and that are involved in warfare between states, whether or not Twitter is blocked in those countries. When a government blocks or restricts access to online services in his state, undermining the voice and the ability to freely access information to people, but in the meantime he continues to use online services for his own communications, a serious information imbalance is created “, writes the San Francisco company to justify the own decision.
