Twitter is trialling a new feature that will prompt users to first open the link they intend to share, before hitting that tweet button. Aimed to reduce the sharing of misinformation, Twitter said, “It’s easy for links/articles to go viral on Twitter [...] This can be powerful but sometimes dangerous, especially if people haven’t read the content they’re spreading.”
Sharing an article can spark conversation, so you may want to read it before you Tweet it.
To help promote informed discussion, we're testing a new prompt on Android –– when you Retweet an article that you haven't opened on Twitter, we may ask if you'd like to open it first.
