Twitter expands censorship nudges to new languages

Cattle are prodded to go in a required direction, while social media users are “nudged” – and some platforms have no problem using this kind of language to describe how they are “handling” and directing their users’ activities.

In the latest example – that has to do with “potentially offensive” prompts in languages other than English – Twitter’s Safety team shouts this from the rooftops in a blog post titled, “How Twitter is nudging users to have healthier conversations.”

So in addition to positioning itself as arbiter of truth, one might deduce Twitter is coming out as a “health” expert.
