Unfortunately, the war between Russia and Ukraine continues. In the past weeks, Russia, which has decided to take a military operation and attempted to invade Ukraine, and has become the focus of criticism, is almost a sanction bombardment.
Apart from this, sanctions have begun to be applied to countries that supported Russia in the invasion attempt. Finally, Twitter has decided to censor Belarus, similar to Russia.
Twitter will apply Russia tariff to Belarus
Russia is at the center of reactions due to its wrong decision. In this context, sanctions against the country began to come one after another. As it is known, in the first days of the invasion attempt, social media giant Twitter took a deterrent measure against Russia-based media organizations and started adding warnings to some posts on the grounds that they might be biased.
The platform managed to prevent possible manipulation by providing a link to a reliable and informative page so that users can access correct information. It seems that the same will be true for Belarus from now on.
Yoel Roth, the number one name in Twitter’s on-site operation, announced in a statement he made a while ago that they decided to add a warning to the posts shared by state-sponsored media organizations in Belarus, as in Russia. It was also stated that the main purpose of this decision was to ensure that correct information about the occupation in Ukraine came to the fore.
After adding a warning to the posts of state-sponsored media outlets in Russia There was a 30 percent reduction in such posts. Describing this result as a success, the platform expects a similar situation to occur in Belarus.
So what do you think about this issue? Do you think Twitter will be able to achieve the same result in Belarus as in Russia? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
