SAN FRANCISCO: After Facebook, Twitter has announced to add an anti-misinformation banner on the home timelines of the users in the US that will give them information about election results and voting by mail.
The banners will pop up when people search for election-related phrases or hashtags, IANS reported.
The US election 2020 “is unlike any other in US history.With so many more people voting by mail and potentially delayed results, starting today, we’ll show you prompts in your Home timeline and Search to help you stay informed on these critical topics,” Twitter Support said in a tweet late on Monday.
The new pop-ups “preemptively address topics that are likely to be the subject of election misinformation.” Twitter has warned users about seeing “unconfirmed claims” that mail-in voting is fraudulent or a specific candidate has won their race.
