Twitter to label misleading information related to Covid-19

Twitter on Monday introduced new labels for tweets that contain harmful and misleading information related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The micro-blogging platform has introduced the labels in a bid to limit the spread of potentially harmful and misleading content on the platform.

“Starting today, we’re introducing new labels and warning messages that will provide additional context and information on some Tweets containing disputed or misleading information related to Covid-19,” Twitter said in an official blog post detailing the feature.

Twitter in March had broadened its policies to address harmful content related to the pandemic on its platform.
