Jennifer Grygiel, assistant professor of communications in the Newhouse School, authored a Fast Company op-ed, “Why Twitter finally decided to label Trump’s tweets as misinformation.” For the first time ever, Twitter took action against two tweets from President Donald Trump. Professor Grygiel, who is an expert on social media and misinformation, believes “that the reason Twitter acted this time is that public outcry finally reached a level where the company had enough backing to check a president—but it still doesn’t have enough public support to delete a presidential tweet.”
