Twitter bans accounts that promoted #IStandWithPutin
Twitter has banned more than 100 accounts that repeatedly retweeted the #IStandWithPutin hashtag, which trended on the platform earlier this week amid Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
I now ignore most war-related content on social media. There is far too much spin, exaggeration, inaccurate, out of context and out of date information being shared. Now is the time to rely on professionals – even when they also use social media sources – because they usually verify the information.
The “fog of war” is bad enough. Social media makes it easier for false and manipulative information to spread widely.
