Twitter has announced that it will be labelling misleading tweets about the war in Ukraine with warning notices

This comes amidst increasing amounts of false information on social media, even from official sources.

Already over 300 Russian government accounts have been restricted on Twitter, including President Vladimir Putin.

These accounts will not be deleted as Twitter is keeping them for “accountability” reasons but misleading posts, particularly from accounts with wide reach will be flagged.

These posts will appear with a warning which users will first need to click through in order to view the post.

Twitter’s head of security and safety says “While this first iteration is focused on international armed conflict, starting with the war in Ukraine, [they] plan to update and expand the policy to include additional forms of crisis”.

Some of the false information has included allegations of war crimes, inaccurate portrayal of the international response and flawed recounts regarding use of force.

Twitter will be addressing various sources to assess the accuracy of these tweets.
