Twitter’s ‘manipulated media’ tag on Trump tweet suffers glitch


Twitter’s tag on the video only shows up in the timeline view, not in the tweet detail. That means that users pulling up the individual tweet won’t see the warning. A spokesperson said Twitter is working on a fix for the issue. — AFP

Twitter Inc marked a video posted by US President Donald Trump’s team as manipulated content under its new media policy. But the tag doesn’t show up for all users.

Dan Scavino, the White House director of social media, posted a video clip on Sunday that appeared to show Democratic candidate Joe Biden saying, "We can only re-elect Donald Trump.”
