Twitter Rolls Up Its Sleeves to Take On Covid-19 Vaccine Misinformation

The social network will begin weeding out the most misleading tweets Dec. 21

As the Covid-19 vaccine begins to roll out, new troves of misleading information begin to roll out with it, and Twitter outlined the steps it is taking to keep that misleading information off its platform.

The social network said that starting Dec. 21, it will use a combination of technology and human review to root out the most misleading information.

Early next year, Twitter will extend its efforts to labeling tweets that contain potentially misleading information about the vaccines.

The policy will be enforced in close consultation with local, national and global public health authorities.
