Twitter ups efforts to stop misinformation, labeling falsehoods related to COVID-19 vaccine Morgan Hines, USA TODAY © LIONEL BONAVENTURE, AFP via Getty Images Banned from Twitter after the Capitol riots, key allies of former president Donald Trump are still spreading conspiracy theories and election lies there. Starting today, we will begin applying labels to Tweets that may contain misleading information about COVID-19 vaccines, in addition to our continued efforts to remove the most harmful COVID-19 misleading information from the service, Twitter said in a blog post Monday.
At first, labels will be applied to tweets by Twitter s team when they determine that the content violates the company s policy. After a while, those assessments will be used to inform Twitter s automated tools to label similar content across the social media platform.
