Twitter allows some users to flag 'misleading' contentA new test feature will allow some Twitter users in the United States, South Korea and Australia to mark tweets as "misleading" after clicking "report tweet". SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter on Tuesday announced a new feature to allow users to flag content that could contain misinformation, a scourge that has only grown during the pandemic. "We're testing a feature for you to report Tweets that seem misleading - as you see them," the social network said from its safety and security account. Users can then be more specific, flagging the misleading tweet as potentially containing misinformation about "health," "politics" and "other." For example, Twitter began blocking users in March who have been warned five times about spreading false information about vaccines.
