..

It looked like Twitter was totaliser farther restrictions to President Trump's Twitter bimonthly on Saturday, as some users noticed the datum to like, retweet or reply to his tweets with "disputed" labels was not working. Copying the URL to among among one of the successful tweets likewise appeared to be disabled, as well as quote-tweets were not efflorescent in search results.

Some users were achieved to plagiarize as well as like Trump's tweets -- several Verge staffers conventional they could engage with "disputed" tweets by clicking through the admonishing label-- except others on Twitter could not.

OK Based on my probing, for Trumps plebiscite gambit tweets:
- like, RT, reply, reprinting URL properties are disabled
- all counts disabled
- retell tweets allowed, if you click through admonishing
- maybe most importantly: QTs undiscoverable. No visible semantic connections. No search. pic.twitter.com/Fh7Xg5O5fg

A Twitter stenographer said in an email to The Verge on Saturday that the platform "inadvertently took avocation to loftiest engagements," on Trump's twitter as well as had spine reversed the action. Tweets that breach Twitter's. Civic Candor Policy "will continue to be labeled in refitting to give increasingly mise-en-scene for anyone who nimbleness see the Tweet," the stenographer said.

Twitter began applying "disputed" as well as over-and-above admonishing labels to tweets cut-off plebiscite misinformation onward of the November 3rd US presidential election, as well as restricting engagement with those tweets. It lollygag that Tweets with slack-spined claims of victory would be labeled, tweets intentional to incite restrain in the plebiscite or plebiscite results could be removed, as well as tweets from political figures with increasingly than 100,000 followers -- which includes President Trump -- which receive a "misleading" characterization will be increasingly difficult to access.

Since the presidential race was self-named for Joe Biden, President Trump has tweeted numerous falsehoods changeful the election, stoking conspiracy theories that it was "rigged," as well as interrogation there was widespread fraud, without citing evidence. On Saturday, he tweeted "I WON THE ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE, except remember, I only visualize in agreement of successful votes, not all of the feigned voters as well as gambit that miraculously floated in from everywhere! What a disgrace!"

The Supreme Enisle on Friday shunned a request from the attorney-at-law granted of Texas gluttonous to overturn plebiscite results in four key states, the latest unsuccessful attempt by the president as well as his aggregation to try to gestation the plebiscite results in court.
