Twitter Removed More Content in First Half of 2022, Including Elon Musk Takeover
According to the latest transparency report from Twitter, the social media platform has removed over 1.4 million accounts and over 43 million tweets in the first half of 2022. This record-breaking number accounts for the most content ever removed by Twitter in a single six-month period.
Among the removed content was a fake tweet claiming that Elon Musk had taken over the Twitter account of US President Joe Biden. Twitter removed the tweet, which had gained lots of attention, almost immediately after it was posted.
Twitter has been stepping up its efforts to fight misinformation and fake news circulating on the site. This includes removing accounts and tweets that violate its community guidelines, such as promoting terrorism, hate speech, and violent or graphic content.
In addition to content removal, Twitter has also added new features to help users better identify reliable sources of information. These features include the blue checkmark verification system, which confirms the authenticity of accounts belonging to public figures and organizations.
