Twitter, news: it will be possible to report ‘deceptive’ tweets

Twitter, in the continuous fight against disinformation, has started tests on a new feature that allows tweets deemed ‘deceptive’ to be reported to the platform. This was announced by the social network, explaining that the novelty currently affects user accounts in the United States, South Korea and Australia. “We are evaluating if it can be an effective method”, explains Twitter in motivating the involvement of a part of the community. “During the test – adds the social network – we may not act or respond to every report, but the contribution of users will help to identify trends on the social network, so as to improve both the speed and scope of work on disinformation”.
