Twitter informó este lunes que se asociará con las agencias de noticias Associated Press y Reuters con el fin de proporcionar más rápidamente información creíble en el sitio de redes sociales, esto como parte de un esfuerzo para combatir la difusión de información errónea.
Al igual que otras compañías de redes sociales, la firma con sede en San Francisco ha estado bajo presión para eliminar información engañosa o falsa en su sitio. A inicios de este año, la red social lanzó un programa llamado Birdwatch, pidiendo a sus usuarios que ayudaran a identificar y verificar los tuits engañosos.

Twitter will collaborate with two of the largest international news providers, Reuters and the Associated Press, to debunk disinformation on its messaging site.
The news agencies will help Twitter give more context and background information on events which create a high volume of tweets.
Twitter hopes this will counteract the spread of misleading information.
There has been renewed pressure to remove false content from the platform.
Twitter said the partnership will enable it to ensure accurate and credible information is rapidly available when facts are in dispute . Rather than waiting until something goes viral, Twitter will contextualize developing discourse at pace with or in anticipation of the public conversation, Twitter said.
