Image Source: IANS News New Delhi, Feb 2 : Twitter, the social media giant, has stunned the Chinese propaganda machine. Recently, it has gone the extra mile to pick up Chinese state-sponsored tweets, and alerted users about the mischief. Using sophisticated algorithms, Twitter has suitably stamped these tweets as products of "CHINESE STATE AFFILIATED MEDIA". The appellation has gone a long way in alerting Twitter users that they are encountering propaganda material marshalled by the Chinese authoritarian state. As a result, a sharp decline in viewership of these tweets has been registered.
