A fake tweet saying “we are all Derek Chauvin” has garnered hundreds of thousands of impressions, after Twitter refused to flag the post as disinformation.
The fake tweet made the rounds on Twitter, and even after it was reported to be false, Twitter refused to correct it. The fabricated tweet shows the Chicago Police Department offering sympathy to Derek Chauvin, showing a picture of the convicted former officer, with the caption “We are all Derek Chauvin.”
According to a local news source, users reported others for sharing the fake post to Twitter, but it was not removed. The Chicago Police Department asked for the social media site to remove or flag the fake image as misinformation, and Twitter refused to do so.
Twitter’s “synthetic and manipulated media policy” clearly states that “you may not share deceptively altered media on Twitter in ways that mislead or deceive people” and states that said media will be labelled or removed to stop the spread of misinformation.
