Oyogist.com reports that Twitter would make fundamental changes to its platform in order to prevent the spread of fake news during the US elections.
Some of the changes it would bring up include limiting retweets and adding further labels and warnings for misinformation, effective from next week and would remain active throughout the election period.
Twitter further said via a blog post that it would clamp down on tweets with a misleading information label from leading U.S. political figures (including candidates and campaign accounts), U.S.-based accounts with more than 100,000 followers, and individual tweets which gain massive attention.
With all this put in place, the spread of Misinformation in the platform would be reduced during the Elections and after also.
