Twitter Scraps COVID Misinformation Policies | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Digital media giant, Twitter, is scrapping policies against so-called coronavirus misinformation. Previously, anti-vaccine tweets and other content were either flagged or removed from the social media site. It's just the latest pivot since Elon Musk took control of the company a month ago, igniting a firestorm of dissent all the way up to the White House. Twitter is already facing backlash as the European Union reached out to Musk and warned him to protect users from hate speech and misinformation. President of the Internet Accountability Project, Mike Davis, joins to tell us more about that. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said an investigation into Musk's Twitter purchase is not off the table. Even the White House admits they're keeping a close eye on Twitter. Davis shares his reaction to what the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre said. This week, Apple pulled several ads from Twitter and threatened to remove the Twitter app from its store. Davis gives us his reaction to that and who he thinks stands to lose here. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
