Twitter is testing a system that lets users label false or misleading tweets by politicians, taking a cue from sites like Wikipedia and Reddit.
Twitter is testing a new feature that would show warnings below tweets from politicians and public figures that have been flagged as misleading by users, according toLarge, brightly colored labels would appear below tweets reported as "harmfully misleading," according to NBC.
This latest experiment suggests Twitter will continue to rely on community input as it tries to fight misinformation.
While flagging content, users would be asked three questions, according to NBC: whether the tweet is "likely" or "unlikely" harmfully misleading, how many users out of 100 would agree with them, and why the tweet is misleading. "We're exploring a number of ways to address misinformation and provide more context for Tweets on Twitter. This is a design mockup for one option that would involve community feedback. Misinformation is a critical issue and we will be testing many different ways to address it," a Twitter spokesperson told Business Insider in an emailed statement.
