Feature to prevent non-standard content from spreading on Twitter

New feature to prevent non-standard content from spreading on Twitter

Twitter started testing a feature that was meant to tell users not to forget to read an article before re-tweeting it. It helps remind people that sharing something without seeing can help spread rumors.

Now this feature is being introduced for everyone.

The user will try to re-tweet an article that he has not open on Twitter, so a pop-up text will appear on which the headline does not tell the full story.

Then you will be asked if you really want to share it without reading it.

According to Twitter, a limited number of people tested the feature, and 40% of the people started to see the articles open after the pop-up session.

The company expects that when this feature is available to everyone, people will be encouraged to share information better.

The company did not specify whether the feature would reduce sharing fake news, but it is not difficult to imagine that it will encourage people to share quality content
