Twitter announced a new feature to allow users to flag content that
could contain misinformation, a scourge that has only grown during the
pandemic.
“We’re testing a feature for you to report Tweets that seem misleading – as you see them,” the social network said from its safety and security account.
Starting on Tuesday, a button would be visible to some users from the United States, South Korea and Australia to choose “it’s misleading” after clicking “report tweet.”
Users can then be more specific, flagging the misleading tweet as potentially containing misinformation about “health,” “politics” and “other.”
“We’re assessing if this is an effective approach so we’re starting small,” the San Francisco-based company said.
Twitter added;
We may not take action on and cannot respond to each report in the experiment, but your input will help us identify trends so that we can improve the speed and scale of our broader misinformation work.
