Twitter Safety , which tweets updates about Twitter's safety and privacy, said, ``We are increasing the transparency of enforcement actions against tweets . Some tweets will soon be labeled with restricted visibility,' he tweeted.
We're adding more transparency to the enforcement actions we take on Tweets. As a first step, soon you'll start to see labels on some Tweets identified as potentially violating our rules around Hateful Conduct letting you know that we've limited their visibility .

Twitter users who violate the rules on hate behavior will be labeled as follows to the violating tweets. The label says 'Display restricted: This tweet may violate Twitter's hateful conduct rules.'
Also, if an unrelated user displays a tweet that violates the rules on hateful behavior, the label with the same warning text will be displayed, although the display format will be slightly different. In addition, it seems that the contents of the tweet may be displayed or hidden.
'This label brings a new level of transparency to enforcement actions by showing both the tweeter and others on Twitter which policies their tweet may violate,' Twitter said. Tweets with these labels will be less discoverable on our platform, and we will not run ads next to labeled content.'
Regarding the display restrictions of tweets, details are described on the page of the application level and scope of compulsory correspondence , and various correspondences are written as follows.

Restrict Tweet visibility: Prevent Tweets from spreading to the top of search results or on the timelines of people who don't follow the Tweet creator, or reply to them unless the user follows the Tweet creator Reduce the display of content on Twitter by regulating the display of tweets. In addition, the Tweet and account will be excluded from emails and recommendations. Tweets are restricted from appearing based on various signatures of the nature of the interaction and type of content.
It is also possible to send feedback if you think that the treatment of the tweet by Twitter side is wrong. However, sending feedback does not necessarily mean that you will receive a reply from Twitter or that the display restrictions on tweets will be lifted.
Twitter will apply this label only to tweets that violate its rules on hateful conduct, but it also reveals that it plans to expand its scope to other policy areas in the coming months.
