The pandemic isn\u2019t over yet. COVID-19 vaccine is here, and it\u2019s better to get vaccinated than to suffer from this dangerous disease.

On Monday, Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/help.twitter.com\/en\/rules-and-policies\/medical-misinformation-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">announced<\/a> a strike system for all those who are spreading deception. Twitter said that it would start labeling tweets with the misinformation related to the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Now the question stands what these strikes are? Let\u2019s clear it for all those accounts which are continuously violating misleading information. A strike system will be applied to those accounts. One strike will indicate a label of \u2018harmful\u2019 two strikes indicate if the account has deleted the tweet.<\/p>\n<p>Two strikes will lock the user\u2019s account for 12 hours, three strikes will lock the account for 24 hours, and more than four of five strikes will permanently ban the account from Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter\u2019s quick action is strict but appreciable.<\/p>\n<h2>Snapchat Includes a New Wheelchair Animation for Bitmoji Avatars<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25107 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.socialchamp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Bitmoji-Avatars-are-cheerful-on-wheelchairs.avif\" alt=\"Bitmoji Avatars are cheerful on wheelchairs\" width=\"627\" height=\"270\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Snapchat bitmojis is an all-time favorite feature.
