Twitter is seeking to put the truth first as this November’s mid-terms fast approach

Twitter says false and misleading posts will be fact-checked in a bid to promote accurate reporting.

Twitter will apply its ‘civic integrity policy’, which was first rolled out in 2018.

The policy stops users from posting misleading content that can dissuade people from voting.

There will also be a crack down on claims that undermine the public’s confidence in the results.

It follows the 2020 Presidential election, where the company was accused of not doing enough to stop the spread of misinformation.

All 435 seats in the U.S. House will be up for grabs alongside around a third of senate seats.
