Twitter Encourages Users to Snitch on Each Other with ‘Birdwatch’ Feature

Social media giant Twitter has announced a new feature called “Birdwatch” which aims to encourage users to police and flag each other’s tweets if they believe they spread misinformation. The company claims it wants to “broaden the range of voices” fighting against misinformation, but the feature has the potential to devolve into flagging wars between different factions of users.

In a recent blog post, Twitter announced a new feature on its site called “Birdwatch,” which allows users to add notes with “helpful context” to tweets that they believe are misleading. To participate, users must have certain information on file with Twitter such as their phone number, ostensibly to prove the account belongs to a real person.

The company posted an animated video with a brief example of the feature which can be seen below:

🐦 Today we’re introducing @Birdwatch, a community-driven approach to addressing misleading information. And we want your help. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/aYJILZ7iKB

— Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) January 25, 2021

Twitter stated in the blog post that it wants to apply labels and context to Tweets but doesn’t want to “limit efforts to circumstances where something breaks our rules or receives widespread public attention.” The company also said that it wants to “broaden the range of voices” that are tackling misinformation.

The company explained how the feature will work, writing:

Birdwatch allows people to identify information in Tweets they believe is misleading and write notes that provide informative context. We believe this approach has the potential to respond quickly when misleading information spreads, adding context that people trust and find valuable. Eventually we aim to make notes visible directly on Tweets for the global Twitter audience, when there is consensus from a broad and diverse set of contributors.

In this first phase of the pilot, notes will only be visible on a separate Birdwatch site. On this site, pilot participants can also rate the helpfulness of notes added by other contributors. These notes are being intentionally kept separate from Twitter for now, while we build Birdwatch and gain confidence that it produces context people find helpful and appropriate. Additionally, notes will not have an effect on the way people see Tweets or our system recommendations.

Twitter stated that it has conducted “more than 100 qualitative interviews with individuals across the political spectrum who use Twitter,” and has received “broad general support” for the Birdwatch program.

The company stated that all data contributed to Birdwatch will be available to download and that it will update a public “Birdwatch Guide” that users can review. Twitter also stated that it’s embedding a member of the University of Chicago’s Center for RISC on the Birdwatch team.

The blog post ends stating:

We know this might be messy and have problems at times, but we believe this is a model worth trying. We invite you to learn alongside as we continue to explore different ways of addressing a common problem. Follow @Birdwatch for the latest updates and to provide feedback on how we are doing.

In recent months Twitter has taken increasingly active steps to censor former President Donald Trump and has since permanently suspended him from the platform.

In a recent article discussing Twitter’s suspension of President Trump, Breitbart News reported that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was relaxing on a private island in French Polynesia when he received a phone call on January 6 from Twitter’s top lawyer and safety expert Vijaya Gadde, the notorious leftist who previously appeared alongside Dorsey on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

Gadde informed Dorsey that Twitter had suspended President Trump’s account temporarily to prevent him from posting further statements relating to the U.S. Capitol protests that could incite violence. Dorsey was reportedly concerned about the decision but he had delegated moderation decisions to Gadde and generally deferred to her on account suspensions and did so again.

The New York Times recently reported that Twitter employees gathered in a virtual meeting to discuss the decision to remove President Trump from the platform, many were grateful that Twitter had taken action while others simply wanted to leave the “Trump era” behind, but many were very emotional over the situation and cried.

>>12716658 Let the culling begin: White nationalists are accosting people that like Trump now

Note when they say experts, there’s really no experts because they didn’t mention their names

According to experts,white nationalists, neo-Nazis and other far-right campaigners (GD these people are schizos they’ve been calling POTUS and us these names forever, and now normal citizens are going to go crazy and become what they’ve called us forever?)are finding fertile ground among the millions of disillusioned Trump and QAnon supporters, who are flooding into the non-mainstream corners of the social media universe. They warn that far-right activists are consciously and systematically infiltrating pro-Trump and QAnon online groups, in an attempt to “draw the remnants of these movements towards the extreme right”. These attempts appear to have been intensified after January 20, when Joe Biden was inaugurated president, experts told The Financial Times.

Hey assholes, learn to code, your writing is complete bullshit disinfo. Why don’t you write a truthful article on how Bidass’s voters are disillusioned and are listening to Q now, and they are considering the theories not so wacky anymore. BTW and For the millionth time, there is NO QANON

LOL Markets: Blackberry Shares Jump 28%

John Carney25 Jan 2021

Remember the BlackBerry?

The Canadian company that made the once-ubiquitous smartphones is now focused on cybersecurity and software, having exited the smartphone business over the last few years.

And, suddenly, the shares of Blackberry are a hot commodity. Shares rose 28.42 percent on Monday to $18.03, the highest price in almost 10 years. They have gained 175 percent since 2021 began.

The company told Canadian securities regulators that it is unaware of any reasons for the surge.

The gains come as shares of Gamestop, the video game shop company, have soared thanks to Reddit-driven day traders, speculators, and investors hopping on board to chase the gains. Shares of Gamestop are up 328 percent year-to-date. At their height on Monday, shares were up 145 percent from their Friday close. By the end of the day, shares had given back much of those gains. After briefly turning negative for the day, the shares were up 18 percent at the close.

Posts on the Reddit group r/wallstreetbets, the bulletin board widely credited for sparking the Gamestop rally, indicate a lot of enthusiasm for the stock. Some of the rationales given by posters predicting the stock will continue to rise are based on recent developments at the company. Others are just ridiculous.

“I LIKE THE 2 B’S IT’S AESTHETICALLY PLEASING ,” one user said, citing the company’s ticker symbol.

Last year, Blackberry announced a multi-year partnership with Amazon web services to co-develop BlackBerry IVY, a new “cloud-connected intelligent vehicle data platform” that offers automakers a “standardized secure way to read and analyze vehicle sensor data.” Last week, the company settled an intellectual property lawsuit the company had filed against Facebook, accusing the social network of infringing on Blackberry’s messaging technology.

=National Guard Bureau Chief: Capitol Police Asked for 5,000 National Guard Troops Through March

Kristina Wong25 Jan 2021

The military chief of the National Guard said Monday that 5,000 National Guard troops will remain in Washington, D.C., at the request of the U.S. Capitol Police.

“The number 5,000 is directly related to the request for assistance from the U.S. Capitol Police,” said Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson at a Pentagon briefing Monday.

Federal and D.C. law enforcement authorities requested more than 25,000 National Guard members for the inauguration of President Joe Biden last week, after some pro-Trump supporters broke into the Capitol building on January 6.

After the inauguration, the National Guard announced the number would reduce to 7,000 troops by the end of January, and further reduce to 5,000 by mid-March.

Two National Guard sources told Breitbart News that the National Guard presence is being kept in D.C. due to Democrats’ Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.

Acting Army Secretary John Whitley did not mention the impeachment trial as the reason National Guard troops are expected to stay in D.C. Rather, he said during the briefing that there are concerns of situations that could be used by “malicious actors or other problems.”

He said:

We receive briefings. We do not engage in that intelligence work ourselves. We rely on our partners and in particular the FBI to provide that information. And so what I can tell you in terms of what they are briefing us is there are several upcoming events. We don’t know what they are over the next several weeks, and they are concerned there could be situations where there are lawful protests, first amendment protected protests that could either be used by malicious actors or other problems that could emerge.

He added: “We are posturing our forces to be able to respond to those threats if they emerge.”
