Twitter Clarifies Its Policy Regarding Duplicate Content
Twitter clarifies how it limits the appearance of duplicate content that is extensively shared on the network.
Twitter's policy against duplicate material, which was first established in 2020, has never been clearly articulated until today.
It was unclear what constitutes a violation or what happens in the event of one.
Twitter has recently created a help website that answers
many of the frequently asked topics.
Twitter's policy, dubbed "copypasta," prohibits
the copying and pasting of blocks of text, pictures, or a mix of information
into tweets.
If this policy is broken, content may be hidden from other
users or become ineligible for promotion.
Severe breaches may result in account deletion or permanent
account suspension.
User Experiences Can Be Manipulated by Duplicate Tweets
According to Twitter's rules and regulations page:
"Copypasta, often known as duplicate material, is a method of disseminating a message that is used for a variety of objectives. It may be repetitious, spammy, and disrupt people's Twitter experience."
Copypasta may be used to artificially elevate material,
restrict information, or manipulate the app's trends and top search results,
according to Twitter.
The following types of content will be restricted under the
new rules:
- An solitary account or numerous accounts tweet similar or almost identical posts.
- Duplicate or copy-pasted tweets, especially those that mention people or utilise hashtags with similar content, that interrupt user experiences.
It will not effect retweeted tweets or anything that has
been copied and pasted with unique comments or reactions on Twitter.
Tweets that directly quote copied material will be
unaffected as well.
The visibility of copypasta tweets will be limited.
Duplicative tweets will be restricted in the same way as
those deemed abusive, spammy, or in violation of relevant laws are.
This sort of content's exposure on social media is limited
by:
- Tweets are no longer eligible for amplification in top search results or trends.
- Not suggesting tweets to non-followers of the author.
- In responses, downranking tweets.
- Email or in-product recommendations exclude tweets and accounts.
These tweets will remain available to Twitter users who
follow the author directly.
