and last updated

Twitter unveiled a new plan to help stop the spread of misinformation.

The pilot program called "Birdwatch" will rely on select users to flag and add notes to any tweets deemed false or misleading.

Right now the notes won't be publicly visible on Twitter, only on the Birdwatch website.
