You’ll get a warning if you attempt to “like” a disputed tweet. Tapping the heart button on a post that’s been labeled as misleading will trigger a prompt with a “Find out more” button to pop up. A week after election day, Twitter revealed it labeled 300,000 tweets as misleading between October 27th and November 11th. 456 were blocked from being retweeted or liked and were hidden behind a warning before they could even be viewed. The company says its efforts have led to a 29% decrease in quoted tweets containing misleading information.Twitter started flagging tweets for disputed and potentially misleading content this year ahead of the 2020 Presidential Elections. With the feature in place, the website will show you a warning every time you try to retweet or quote a post that’s been labeled as such in an effort to curb the spread of misinformation. Now, the social network has expanded the feature so that you’ll also get a warning if you attempt to “like” a disputed tweet. Tapping the heart button on a post that’s been labeled as misleading will trigger a prompt with a “Find out more” button to pop up.
App experimental feature researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered the expanded function earlier this month. The tweets she tested, which were related to the elections, showed a warning that says “Official sources may not have called the race when this was tweeted.”

According to The Verge, the feature expansion is rolling out on the web and on iOS to all users around the world this week. Android users, meanwhile, will start seeing prompts in the coming weeks.

I think it is the right decision. We have to be responsible for your actions. When we write a rhetorical essay, we are asked many questions about where the information was taken and how reliable it is. Therefore, there is no need to spread misinformation.
If you are given tests or assignments that involve multiple choice questions, you are likely to need help from MCQs writing services. Multiple choice questions can be a blessing or a curse; they can help you to get marks or, sometimes, they can mess up your entire score sheet. Many students dread MCQs because, when they are first assigned, they can seem easy but they can actually become the most tiresome.
