    We will continue to be transparent in how we make our decisions and be open with our rationale on how we label certain Tweets. Publicly sharing our work is core to everything we do. If we can’t explain and be confident in our determination, we will not label a Tweet.

    We also believe it’s important people can read and speak about what world leaders say, even if they violate our rules. We shared more details on our public interest notice in October.

    We will only add descriptive text that is reflective of the existing public conversation to let people determine their own viewpoints. To date, we have applied these labels to thousands of Tweets around the world, primarily related to COVID-19 and manipulated media.

    We are NOT attempting to address all misinformation. Instead, we prioritize based on the highest potential for harm, focusing on manipulated media, civic integrity, and COVID-19. Likelihood, severity and type of potential harm — along with reach and scale — factor into this.

    We heard: 1⃣Twitter shouldn’t determine the truthfulness of Tweets 2⃣Twitter should provide context to help people make up their own minds in cases where the substance of a Tweet is disputed Hence, our focus is on providing context, not fact-checking.

    These principles also shape our work on misleading information. In this area too, we're using feedback from the people we serve. In 2019, we consulted with the public on our approach and that has guided our work since.

    The principles above connect to everything for us — from our decision to ban all political ads, to our policy around public-interest notices, and even a product test that lets people choose who can reply.
