Warning labels will be placed on tweets containing misleading information regarding Covid-19 vaccines. Twitter is expanding its use of warning labels, targeting tweets that contain misleading details about coronavirus vaccines. Labels providing additional context are already attached to tweets with disputed information about the pandemic, but this is the first time the firm has focused on posts about vaccines specifically. In a further effort, the tech giant said it is also starting a strike system that “determines when further enforcement action is necessary”. A seven-day account lock will be imposed after four strikes, followed by a permanent suspension for five or more strikes.
