Starting now, Twitter will notify users of misleading information about COVID-19 vaccinations.
The social network says it will apply labels to tweets that might offer misleading information about COVID-19 vaccines. This is on top of the company’s efforts to get rid of harmful misleading COVID-19 information.
Twitter says that by rolling out the COVID-19 guidance update, it has removed more than 8,400 tweets and challenged 11.5 million accounts globally.
Beginning today, we will label Tweets that may contain misleading information around COVID-19 vaccinations. This is in addition to our ongoing efforts to remove the most harmful COVID-19 misleading information from Twitter.

Twitter is also introducing a strike system that determines when enforcement is needed. The system will help teach the public about its policies and reduce the spread of potentially harmful and misleading details on Twitter.
