Twitter Inc. will stop amplifying Russian government accounts, asking other government-affiliated media to remove posts featuring prisoners of war, citing international humanitarian law.
Twitter would add warnings to state-backed accounts’ posts about prisoners when they have a “compelling public interest,” quoting Article 13 of the Geneva Convention III.
Twitter would also mandate the removal of posts from any user, state-linked or not, who posts about prisoners of war with “abusive intent.”
The micro-blogging website would immediately stop boosting or urging government accounts belonging to states that “limit access to free information and are engaged in armed interstate conflict.”
