Resolved Mis- or disinformation

Outcome

Mis- or Disinformation

Overview

The complaint is about a tweet linked to taxi violence that was painted as political party violence.

Background & Outcome

The dis/mis information about political positions and events in Mabopane could lead to public unrest and contribute to existing tensions. The post must be labelled as disinformation and reported to Twitter for removal because it's incredibly graphic and disrespects the deceased person, the rights and needs of their relatives and prolongs their pain and suffering.
