Twitter is to start labelling misleading information about COVID-19. Depending on the level of harm the Tweet can cause it’ll be labelled, come with an overlay warning, or be removed entirely.
Twitter has announced that posts containing disputed or misleading information about COVID-19 will be graced with a warning label to alert users to the potential dubiousness of the post. Labels will contain a link to a webpage that shows reliable information about coronavirus. If Twitter finds that a post is more harmful, it will apply a warning explaining that the Tweet conflicts with guidance from public health experts.
