when Threads launched, a number of right wing accounts with a history of posting misinformation on other platforms were flagged with a warning label informing users that they “repeatedly posted false information”

however, it appears Threads has now removed these labels

a Meta spokesperson told Donald Trump Jr. that his account was flagged in “error” and that it’s since “been fixed”

Threads backtracks flagging right-wing users for spreading disinformation

Regardless, right-wing Twitter users already hate Threads.

@MattBinder Looks like #Threads is backtracking when they said they were using Instagram content moderation. Instead Threads will be making exceptions for right-wingers so that right-wingers can break the Instagram content moderation rules.

@david1 @MattBinder Instagram content moderation is also not great to begin with. They have a lot of “rules”, but every single time I’ve reported an account for breaking said rules, I receive a message days/weeks later saying that IG has too many things to review and couldn’t get to my report, so they’re closing it with no action and just suggest I block (which if course I’ve already done). I’ve never seen any action taken on any report I’ve made. 🤷🏻‍♀️
