Twitter's big decision will be to rein in copy-paste tweets

California, Ta. Saturday 29 August 2020

The microblogging site Twitter has made a big decision. This has increased the difficulty of the IT cell working for all parties and organizations. Twitter has decided to hide a tweet that is copy-pasted, meaning that if you are copying and pasting someone else's tweet or multiple people are tweeting the same tweet, such tweets will be hidden from people's timeline.

Twitter has tweeted this information and this has also been explained. Twitter said that the number of tweets with copy-paste 'copypasta' on its platform has increased significantly in the last few years. How many people are copying and tweeting the same tweet?

We have decided to reduce the visibility of this type of tweet. Twitter has also included a 'copypasta' tweet in its new policy. It is worth mentioning that in the online world, 'copypasta' is used for duplicate content.

Twitter has also released a feature in the mobile app where you can turn off the option to copy your tweets. The company has also recently released the 'Retweet with Quote' feature.

Copypasta tweets are mostly used for spamming and no campaigns. You may have noticed that many tweets from thousands of accounts are similar. All this is done for trending and targeting a particular person or organization. This is mostly used to spread political propaganda.

One of the disadvantages of Copypasta tweets is that sometimes even someone's original content doesn't stay with them. People copy and tweet with their own name. It benefits the original content creator less and the copy-paster more.
