Shifting attention to accuracy can reduce misinformation online - Twitter intervention study findings

One message asking users to rate accuracy made them more discerning
Subsequent tweet accuracy increased by 4.8% on news sources and 9.0% for all tweets
Accuracy level also increased 2.8 times after the private message
Quality of low-engagement shares increased under the treatment
Treatment increased sharing of posts from credible news sources (i.e. New York Times rather than Breitbart)
