Twitter has announced that it will begin testing a new feature that will encourage users to think before they publish articles they have not read.
This test is currently limited to Twitter users in the Android system in English, and in it, if a user decides to retweet an article before reading it, then the Twitter application will ask him to open the article before he does so. Twitter did not say when it plans to offer the feature on other platforms.
As Twitter said in a statement yesterday, Wednesday: "Sharing an article may spark a conversation between users, so you may want to read it before posting it on Twitter." Open it first, when you retweet an article you did not open on Twitter. "
It is noteworthy that this test is the latest from Twitter in its efforts to reduce misinformation and encourage meaningful discussions on the platform. Last month, Twitter launched a test that allows users to determine who can respond to their Tweets on Android and iOS, and the web version of Twitter.
As of now, some users can restrict responses to everyone, the people they follow, or the people who mention them in their tweets. In recent months, Twitter has launched additional features such as the ability to hide specific responses to tweets. It is also testing a clearer interface for threaded conversations on its platform.
