Anyone who uses Twitter in 2020 has noticed an uptick in warnings added to tweets. Especially if you are involved in the political arena.
These flags or warnings added to tweets have even turned into a meme, with many brands poking fun at themselves or the competition.
Well it’s not just limited to politicians and elections. When one domain investor claimed that “.com is the only extension worth investing in” Twitter flagged the tweet. “This claim is disputed by official sources”
It was caught by Alvin Brown
I thought it interesting and kind of funny that Twitter is flagging tweets in the domain name space.
9 years ago one of Twitter’s founders wrote a piece on why domain names were less important. I don’t think that has aged well.
Update: It looks like the poster was playing the meme game. I had an email from someone saying no it’s not it’s real but looks like a meme.
That is hysterical, cue the countdown for when Snoopy troll comes in and has some outdated comment.
that guy is a bum.
Good. .Com’rs are ridiculous. Not long ago some guy was asking for big companies using new TLDs, for a report. Andrew goes on twitter and says ‘I was going to say so and so, but they moved to .com’…
I forget the crap company name already, some online payment thing like paypal…he just had to point to some failure that switched to a .com…hohoho.
Guess what Andrew? Cash.App is in the same business, 20x bigger and uses a new TLD!
The poster has added that comment himself.
Twitter isn’t going to bother trying to protect the interests of the 3 New TLD investors still buying those names.
No he didn’t you twat, Twitter flagged it.
Are you stupid?
You think Twitter goes around flagging Donald Trump tweets but has now extended it to anyone who posts something bad about new tlds? Get some fresh air.
Snoopy is right in his post. This is not a disclaimer added by Twitter.
It is part of the tweet itself.

Repel section 230.
Fake news. Not a Twitter flag at all. Was included by the poster that likes crappy extensions
