Tweets which include premature claims of a victory in an election will be labeled and direct people to our official US Election page in Explore. Tweets that encourage others to interfere with the election process or the results will be removed.https://help.twitter.com/rules-and-policies/election-integrity-policy …

To continue to address the risk of misinformation, we'll add warnings and further restrictions on Tweets with misleading information labels from accounts owned by US political figures, US-based accounts with 100,000+ followers, or Tweets that obtain significant engagement.pic.twitter.com/I0mQVRb5c1

We’ll temporarily ask people to add their own commentary before amplifying content by prompting Quote Tweets instead of Retweets. We hope this encourages everyone to consider why they are amplifying a Tweet, and brings more thoughts, reactions & perspectives to the conversation.pic.twitter.com/SGabVDtZlZ

We’re taking more steps to encourage thoughtful amplification by preventing Tweets that have been “followed by” and “liked by” accounts you don’t follow from showing up in your timeline.

We will only surface Trends in the “For You” tab in the U.S. that include additional context. This will more quickly let people know why something is trending and also help reduce the potential for misleading information to spread.pic.twitter.com/6eoH3tqVvC
