O twitter is expanding its crowdsourced fact-checking program, making notes on potentially misleading tweets visible to more people, the company said on Thursday.
THE social network launched the project called birdwatch last year as an experiment that asks users to identify misleading tweets and write notes to provide information disproving the content, which would have been attached to the original tweet.
Like other social media platforms, Twitter has long been under pressure to do more to stop fake content from spreading among its 217 million daily users.
Notes written by the 10,000 contributors to the Birdwatch pilot program have been kept on a separate website.
Now, a small group of Twitter users U.S will be able to view Birdwatch notes directly in the tweets and assess the usefulness of the information, the company said.
Over time, Twitter said it plans to expand Birdwatch to additional users in more countries.
Some Birdwatch notes this Thursday addressed misleading content related to russian invasion gives Ukraine last week.
