Questão 2717941

Text for the items from 21 to 30.

1 To fight misinformation, Twitter expands project to

let users fact-check each other’s tweets.

For the first time, some ordinary users will see

4 fact-checking notes written by volunteers in the site’s

Birdwatch program.

Twitter will begin showing fact-checking notes,

7 submitted by volunteers, on potentially misleading tweets to

a small fraction of its users in a test in the United States this

week.

10 The test is a step forward for its experimental

Birdwatch program, which seeks to enlist Twitter’s users to

flag and debunk misinformation on the social platform.

13 Users in the test group will see a message inviting

them to click for more context when they encounter a tweet

that has been flagged by a volunteer fact-checker

16 participating in Birdwatch. There, they’ll find one or more

notes written by Birdwatch contributors, correcting or adding

relevant background to the tweet itself, and ideally citing

19 reliable outside sources. They’ll then be asked to rate the

note’s helpfulness — ratings that in turn are used to

determine whether to continue showing that note to others

22 on Twitter.
