Media manipulation

Twitter has started using "manipulated media" on some of their posts to inform people what they're watching has been tailored to seem like something that it's not.

Do you think this is a good idea and should it be used more widely?

Maybe all media should like cigarettes carry a warning, something like this may or does contain bias..?

"How does that work?"

I don't know how the algorithm works but some posts have a label underneath them stating "! Manipulated media"

I went into comments and a very popular science channel has expressed that the post has been edited to trick the viewer, and linked original clip.

It’s well known that the media manipulate news and statistics as does the government .....it just depends on the addenda...so does it really matter if it’s tagged as such as you only have their word on that....does that mean the rest is genuine?!?!

Deep faking is a major threat to the integrity and long term value of any media.

However, genie has been out of bottle a long time. Touched up pictures been around since photography began. It just took a bit longer to catch up with the moving picture.

From slowing down a speech and making speaker appear ill, through to grafting anothers face on a porn movie.

The camera ALWAYS lied.

People just need to wise up to how 'real' the lies have become. Twitter can try but unless it has authoritative data, I would no more trust them than any other.

I think that's a good idea.

I'd be more concerned that their algorithms might mark the wrong posts, or miss some. Then people might believe the post was true because the alert was missing.

I think it's important to call out bullshit whichever side you support.

Some people know about media bias while others don't, hopefully these labels will incentivize people to do their own research before taking a side. I'm sure blind followers will ignore it but targeting the middle ground should be as important.

I'm aware of that but it should make people question to do their own research. Even if the algorithm isn't perfect, people will know better than to blind trust every post/publishing.

In an ideal world that would be great...but in all reality those who want to find out do....those who don’t.....

I’m all honesty I think the majority will just assume that all else in that case is correct.

Distrust in media in general is at an all time high. I think those that know the narrative is often spinned or presented with a specific bias and objective won't immediately accept most of what they're presented with at face value. They'll want to look into multiple sources then make up their own mind.

Good idea, at least it’s a start. Too many people out there who believe everything they read.
