New VIP+ Analysis: Better quashing fake news will help the platform attract journalists and become less vulnerable to Section 230 revisions.
Fake news has always been a problem for Twitter . But it makes sense for the company to get even more buttoned up about the issue in 2021 for two key reasons. Joe Biden is now president instead of Donald Trump, which suggests there is currently more of a White House focus on how social giants spread misinformation, rather than things like how those companies supposedly suppress conservative voices.
So the climate seems right for moves to be made like what Senators Amy Klobuchar and Ben Ray Luján did in late July when they a bill that would weaken Section 230 protections for social media companies like Twitter that promote health misinformation and conspiracies. on Twitter that purported “a mostly peaceful transition of power” had occurred as the Taliban took over Afghanistan could galvanize more senators to fight to weaken Section 230 protections.
The second reason Twitter needs to get more serious about its fake news fight is that the company is now particularly interested in attracting journalists to use its platform. Twitter has always been a go-to platform for many journos, but the company has more of an incentive to be more heavily used by the group in 2021 compared with previous years.
