A man promoting Twitter's new"crisis misinformation" policy has a history of promoting misinformation himself.
Twitter Head of Safety and Integrity Yoel Roth unveiled a new crisis misinformation policy for the Big Tech company on Thursday that will regulate what content is allowed during international crises, shootings, and natural disasters. However, Roth's history of handling misinformation, particularly his efforts to quash a New York Post article about Hunter Biden's laptop, may conflict with his goals.
Roth received additional attention in May 2020 after several people discovered his tweets attacking various Republicans and members of the Trump administration, referring to then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as a"bag of farts" and Trump officials as"actual Nazis." The tweets were condemned by then-President Donald Trump, Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and other advisers. Roth was also targeted with death threats over his statements.
If Twitter determines a post is based on misinformation, it will stop amplifying or recommending it and add warning notices before users click through to it, Roth said.
