Twitter partnered with the Associated Press and Reuters to help the control team put credible information in front of the user. Consisting of employees who work together to contextualize some of the most popular topics discussed by people on Twitter, the curation team oversees several platform features that are more visible and sometimes controversial, including trends and Tab Explore.
As a Twitter user, the company says you can hope to see it work faster to ensure there is more and better contextual information to see when people discuss various things on service. As a starting point on the front, the company said the trend would include contextual descriptions and links to reporting from publications that have a reputation more often. In addition, companies say this program will help proactively identify topics that can be a wrong source of information. “Instead of waiting until something becomes a viral, Twitter will contextualize developing discourse at speeds with or to anticipate public conversations,” said the company.
Twitter also expects a partnership to help some features, where the context is very important, it works better. Here, the company points tools like Birdwatch. Initially, the Associated Press and Reuters would focus on helping companies with English-language content, but it should be noted the curation team contextualizing Japanese, Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese content too.
In trying to support the decline team better, Twitter wanted to avoid repeating the situation as he found hisself last year after Jeffrey Epstein’s death. Social media networks are flooded with conspiracy theories about Epstein suicide, and the company does not seem to be able to stop tags such as #Clintonycount from trends. Even when you take blatant information from the image, Twitter trends are often easy to trolling, as displayed when US gymnasts Simone Biles withdraws from the Tokyo Olympics. While trolls tend to keep trying game services, registering Associated Press and Reuters help can make it less visible effort
