Twitter Introduces New COVID19 “Page Event” Feature in the Philippines!

Twitter helps in support of national COVID19 efforts through an accessible event page feature providing real-time credible news. In times like these, misinformation can be deadly. Systemic mindfulness on information that may harm others is a must.

The current pandemic caught the whole world by surprise. It’s no wonder many of us are still kept in the dark. Twitter aims to help fight this problem using their open platform in spreading verified information from credible sources.

They’ve launched their COVID19 events page that compiles accurate information from verified accounts real-time. It’s an ongoing effort along with these other initiatives Twitter has made.

In order to keep the conversation correct and factual, Twitter will be removing posts that implicitly state the following:

  • Denial of expert guidance;
  • Encouragement to use fake or ineffective treatments, preventions, and diagnostic techniques; and
  • Misleading content purporting to be from experts or authorities.

Trust is an important element as well. With the familiar blue verified badge, Twitter’s prioritizing verifying experts around the globe to support the fight against misinformation.

Twitter’s also going around the clock in monitoring the information users will see first. Whenever you search for COVID19 relevant search words, valid information will be seen first. Twitter’s surely keeping it’s platform a safe place.

Let’s all do our part to fight fake news!

We will be happy to hear your thoughts
