Social media platforms are now tightening their rules and policies. Twitter Inc stated on Friday it will eliminate tweets calling for people to meddle with the US election process or the execution of election results, including through violence, as the company also announced more stipulations to slow the range of misinformation. The social media app said in a blog post that, from next week, users will get a prompt pointing them to reliable information before they can retweet content that has been labeled as misleading.

It said it would add more information and limitations on tweets with misleading information labels from US political figures like candidates and campaigns, as well as US-based accounts with more than 100,000 followers or that get “significant engagement.” Twitter, which lately told a leading daily it was testing how to make its labeling more obvious and direct, said people will have to tap through warnings to see these tweets. Users can also only ‘quote tweet’ this content, as likes, retweets and replies will be turned off. Twitter says it has labeled thousands of misleading posts, though most attention has been on the labels applied to tweets by US President Donald Trump.

Twitter also said it would label tweets that falsely claim a win for any candidate. The company announced several temporary steps to slow the amplification of content: for example, from Oct. 20 to at least the end of the US election week, global users pressing “retweet” will be directed first to the “quote tweet” button to encourage people to add their own commentary. It will also stop surfacing trending topics without added connection and will stop people from seeing “liked by” recommendations from people they do not know in their timeline.
