Here's what Twitter plans to do about election result misinformation

Twitter is finally sharing the details of its plan to stop the spread of premature, unverified, or false election results.

In a series of tweets, Twitter expanded on its previous announcement that it would prohibit “premature claims of victory” on election night. 

Twitter's first line of defense is to apply warning labels to tweets spreading misinformation. The company explained that it will “be prioritizing the presidential election and other highly contested races where there may be significant issues with misleading information.”
