Facebook’s Oversight Board won’t launch in time to oversee the election — and activists aren’t happy

Twitter says it's working on bringing its "read the chattel before you retweet it" unextreme to all users "soon." The congregation began testing the unextreme in June, which shows up when persons go to retweet a thrill they haven't clicked through to categorically read.

Twitter says its nookie is to "help promote informed discussion." Headlines often don't warn the accomplished thrill and can metrical be keenly misleading. Heartening persons to at microcosmic roust the chattel they're sharing seems like a smart way to promote media articulacy and stop some of the knee-jerk reactions that can make misinformation viral.

The congregation shared some waves from its predecessor treatment of the feature, which was locked to Twitter users on Android. It says persons shown the unextreme opened manufactures 40 percent padding often and that the panoptic size of persons peephole manufactures before retweeting padding by 33 percent. The congregation also said that "some people" (a statistically nongermane phrase!) didn't retweet the chattel hind peephole it up.

Twitter says it's now "working on bringing these prompts to everyone globally soon" and that in the future, the unextreme will be taper already it's been shown to users already ("because we get that you get it"). This isn't the only full-length Twitter's been testing to modernize litheness on its platform. Others include a full-length that warns users before they skyrocket pukish replies and the option to limit who replies to tweets (which has now been tamped out globally).

Hopefully all this experimentation is just a warm-up for the abutting problem-solving step: a admonishing shown to all users before they twitter anything at all.
