Twitter is considering labeling tweets that violate its rules but should remain on the platform because they're in the public interest.
Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's head of legal, policy and trust made the announcement during an on-stage interview with the Washington Post on Wednesday. The social media company is trying to find a way of maintaining its standards while adding context to tweets from politicians and other figures that may be offensive but are important for public debate.
Though similar tweets by others might be removed for violating Twitter's rules, the platform currently grants an exemption for world leaders and tweets it considers newsworthy. Gadde said that doesn't give leaders complete immunity, and it would draw the line on some content. "An example would be a direct violent threat against an individual that we wouldn't leave on the platform because of the danger it poses to that individual," she said.
