Twitter launches new process to tackle COVID misinformation
Twitter has announced that it will begin testing a new reporting feature for users to flag tweets containing possible misinformation
From today, Twitter users will be able to report misinformation through the same process as harassment or other harmful content, a major step up from the social media giant.
The reporting is done through the dropdown menu at the top right of every tweet.
Users will be prompted to select whether the misleading comment is political, health-related, or falls into another category.
The “politics category” includes more specific forms of misinformation surrounding global politics such as content related to elections.
The health category will also include an option for users to flag COVID-19-specific misinformation.
The new feature will be available for most users in the US, Australia, and South Korea
Twitter states that not every report will be reviewed as the platform continues to test the feature, but expects to run this experiment for a few months before deciding to roll it out to additional markets such as the UK.

Investors monitor Big Tech’s AI investments, with Meta thriving while Microsoft and Tesla face uncertainty over growth and returns.
Investors are reacting sharply to Big Tech earnings this week, sending a clear signal that massive spending must translate into real growth. Markets are becoming less forgiving as companies pour billions into artificial intelligence, data centres and future tech while returns remain uncertain.
Meta has delivered a standout performance, posting a 24 percent jump in revenue for the December quarter, fuelled by AI-powered advertising. The company is doubling down on its strategy, with aggressive investment in AI and infrastructure expected to drive a further 33 percent growth this quarter.
Microsoft and Tesla tell a more cautious story. Microsoft reported only modest growth in its Azure cloud business, raising questions about its exposure to OpenAI, while Tesla plans to double spending on AI and autonomous driving. Analysts warn of a widening gap between bold AI ambitions and what investors expect in returns.
