Twitter is now also adding labels to accounts and tweets sharing links from Belarusian state-affiliated media outlets "after detailed reporting about their role in the war in Ukraine." The website started labeling tweets from Russian state media outlets a few days in late February in an effort to significantly reduce the circulation of their content. Yoel Roth, the company's head of site integrity, said on Twitter that the company made the decision to label tweets from Belarus, as well, after expert voices highlighted the country's involvement in the invasion of Ukraine.
