A Twitter spokesperson told news agency ANI that the
platform has also labelled tweets which were found to be in violation of its
"synthetic and manipulated media policy."
"We have taken strong enforcement action to protect the
conversation on the service from attempts to incite violence, abuse, and
threats that could trigger the risk of offline harm by blocking certain terms
that violate our rules for trends," the spokesperson said.
"Using a combination of technology and human review,
Twitter worked at scale and took action on hundreds of accounts and Tweets that
have been in violation of the Twitter Rules, and suspended more than 550
accounts engaged in spam and platform manipulation," the spokesperson
said.
The microblogging platform said that it had applied labels
to tweets that were found to be in violation of synthetic and manipulated media
policy.
"We are monitoring the situation closely and remain
vigilant, and strongly encourage those on the service to report anything they
believe is in violation of the rules," the Twitter spokesperson added.
