Twitter says that if a candidate, campaign account, or other accounts have tweets that are labeled for misinformation, users will have to tap through a warning to see the tweet and won\u2019t be able to like or comment on it. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect this will further reduce the visibility of misleading information, and will encourage people to reconsider if they want to amplify these tweets,\u201d the company said in a blog post. <\/p>\n<p>Another change will be for users who are trying to retweet a post that has already been sl<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed with a misleading information label. Starting next week, if a user tries to retweet a labeled tweet, they will see a prompt saying \u201cThis is disputed. Help keep Twitter a place for reliable info. Find out more before sharing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Finally, starting on Oct. 20 through \u201cat least the end of election week,\u201d Twitter will automatically prompt people to add their own commentary to something they are trying to retweet. The goal, Twitter says is to \u201cencourage everyone to not only consider why they are amplifying a tweet, but also increase the likelihood that people add their own thoughts, reactions and perspectives to the conversation.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The company also reiterated that it will label tweets that falsely claim a win for a candidate prematurely and will remove tweets that call for violence or people to interfere with voting. <\/p>\n<p>The changes could affect President Donald Trump, who has had a growing number of his tweets fact-checked, labeled, or flagged by Twitter for violating its policies\u2014including the company\u2019s misinformation policy. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"This_weeks_top_technology_stories\"><\/span>This week\u2019s top technology stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>In the 2020 election, killing Section 230 is the only bipartisan issue <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Trump blasted TikTok for collecting \u2018vast swaths\u2019 of data\u2014his 2020 app does the same thing <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Will a Biden-Harris administration break up big tech?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Right-wing militias have adopted QAnon with frightening ease <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6 signs it\u2019s time to get a new phone (Sponsored)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailydot.us18.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=557794e049a42cb8dcdf4eacc&amp;id=14207741b3\"><em>Sign up<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0to receive the best of the internet straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\">\n<p>                                                                                                <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/en_us\/topics\/company\/2020\/2020-election-changes.html\">blog.twitter.com<\/a><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/debug\/twitter-election-changes-misinformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Twitter is making some big changes to fight election misinformation &#8221; The new changes will &#8216;further reduce the visibility of misleading information,&#8217; Twitter says.
