Hello You,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revelation of ecological scandals, denunciation of fake vaccines traffic, questioning of contents considered as “disinformation”… Social networks have a great asset: the volume of users. Better than anyone else, with the right tools at their disposal, they can contribute to guaranteeing public health or even security policies. A kind of civic act or new generation activism. Passion Media comes back with you on this trend, which has notably emerged with political campaigns and with the stormy subject of the vaccine and the health pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digital platforms are often pointed out for their lack of action regarding misinformation. Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram… Yet, they are starting to take action. Some have the means to hire armies of moderators, to filter potentially embarrassing content themselves. Others are trying to set up tools, based on the power of their user community. This is the case on Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Twitter platform is currently testing, in the United States, Korea and Australia, a tool that allows users to report content deemed misinformation. How can they do this? They just have to click on the “report” button, then choose the category (health, politics, etc…). After 5 reports, the Twitter account is analyzed by the team and can be banned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Misinformation does not only concern amateur profiles. It can also come from the media, experts, politicians, influencers, stars, etc… And on this point, the platforms have not hesitated to apply their content moderation policy to the letter. This is what happened with the account of the former American president Donald Trump with reports of incitement to violence and hatred. His Facebook and Twitter accounts were then banned. A news that had been widely taken up and commented by the press and Internet users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
