| Twitter is testing features that allow users to report lies to politicians |
Twitter said Thursday: It is testing a new way to manage the website that will allow users to identify the wrong information shared by politicians and public figures, and add colored tags under these tweets.
NBC News previously reported that the public has access to Twitter documents that outline the new methodology. Twitter said: The leaked illustrations show a new way to deal with misinformation.
"We are investigating various ways to fix misinformation and give Twitter more context on Twitter," a statement said. A spokesman for the company said that the project is still in its infancy and has not yet continued.
The cycle template received from NBC News shows that there are plans to develop a "community report" feature that Twitter compares to the free version of Wikipedia. Twitter users earn points and badges for rating "seriously misleading" content.
Twitter and other social media companies are under tremendous pressure to stop the lies and mislead their programs. In recent months, these companies have taken steps to avoid interfering in the US presidential elections in November. However, critics say the steps are insufficient given the scale of the problem.
Twitter announced in the summer of 2019 that it will limit and reduce Tweets that violate its rules. However, these tweets came from prominent public figures such as politicians. However, the site has not yet been tweeted. The company also banned political advertising in the fall.
Twitter said earlier this month: As the social media platform prepares to launch a potential attack that contains a lot of misinformation before the US presidential election of 2020, it will begin tagging tweets using artificial or misleading forms. Adjustments.
