Twitter: Read It Before You Retweet It

The social network is testing a prompt on its Android app

Twitter is testing a new prompt in its Android application that will appear when users retweet articles that they haven’t opened via Twitter.

The social network said in a Twitter Support tweet, “Sharing an article can spark conversation, so you may want to read it before you tweet it.”
