US short text posting site Twitter TWTR.N has announced a policy to delete posts calling for interference with the election process and results due to violence etc. ahead of the US presidential election on November 3rd. It was. It also announced that it will strengthen warning functions and restrictions to prevent the spread of false information.

Starting next week, when you retweet a post labeled as misleading, you’ll be notified to make sure it’s credible.

In addition, warnings and restrictions on labeled posts from political circles such as election candidates and staff, and Twitter accounts in the United States with more than 100,000 followers have been strengthened. When viewing such posts, you will be asked to tap the warning display, and you will not be able to like, retweet, or reply, only quoted tweets.

Also announced temporary measures to curb the spread of posts. For example, users around the world will be prompted to add their own comments by tapping a retweet from the 20th to at least the end of the week when the presidential election takes place.
