And it is a win for truth

With a few days left, before the US elections, social media giant Twitter is fighting misinformation on its platform.

By taking additional steps ahead of the 2020 US Election.

We all know the reason for this, it is Candidate Trump. Even while being sick with Covid-19, he continues to use Twitter as his platform to spread misinformation about Covid-19.

Twitter for many is a source of news. The elections of 2020 are vital for democracy. The madness of a Trump second term will cause irreparable damage in American society.

Twitter announced that every time someone chooses to RT ( Retweet), the user will redirect instead to QT ( Quote Tweet). This is to encourage a user to add their thoughts. It is also to thwart the use of Twitter bots. While Twitter admits, “the extra friction and an extra step”, it is to combat what could be the most abusive use of the social media platform in spreading misinformation.

This year is different, people are already feeling the pandemic fatigue. The last thing America needs is chaos. Election results should be protected at all costs. Social media companies have a role to play in making sure that the US elections will be won fair and square.

It is up to the American voters to decide with their conscience and bring dignity back to the Presidential office. There will be a lot of things to do after the defeat of Trump in November.

The move by Twitter could help stop misinformation. And when the time comes when Trump becomes Citizen Trump, he should be banned from Twitter.

He can bring his toxicity elsewhere. His madness is no longer welcome here.
