Twitter Keeps Some Measures It Says Slowed Election Misinformation

Twitter said extra steps urging people to think before sharing tweets were helping curb the spread of false claims about the election.

Twitter said on Thursday that it would maintain some of the changes it had made to slow down the spread of election misinformation, saying they were working as intended.

Before Election Day, Twitter, Facebook and other social networks had announced a cascade of measures billed as protecting the integrity of the voting process.

For Twitter, those included more prominent warning labels on misleading or disputed claims and limiting how such claims can be shared.
