So, for Twitter, blaming China is "coronavirus misinformation". |
| − | Twitter allows users to follow others, share status updates and / or news via "tweets," or republish another user's status update (referred to as a "retweet"). If a subject is popular enough, it can become a trending topic worldwide, and is displayed on the main website. Corporations can also pay Twitter to have a "Sponsored Trend" appear in the trending topics column. Twitter has made URL shorterners (such as ow.ly, bit.ly, tinyurl.com, and goo.gl, to name a few) popular, as they allow long URLs to be shortened and posted within a tweet. | + | Twitter allows users to follow others, share status updates and / or news via "tweets," or republish another user's status update (referred to as a "retweet").
