Misinformation Warning Labels: Twitter's Soft Moderation Effects on COVID-19 Vaccine Belief Echoes Background
- Twitter’s internal systems and teams started monitoring COVID-19 related tweets containing misinformation in 2020
- Originally started out targeting COVID-19 tweets but expanded to election fraud
- Previous studies have concluded that the warnings backfire and cause more commotion due to mockery and users do not always agree with the labels
- Soft moderation prevents tweets from being removed completely while still giving users a heads up about the misleading content of the tweet
