Twitter may introduce feature to let users flag 'fake news'

The move would see Twitter follow Facebook, which last year introduced a way for users to report stories they deemed false or inaccurate

Twitter is considering a feature that would let users flag tweets that are false or inaccurate, in an attempt to combat the spread of disinformation on the platform.

The new feature, reported by the Washington Post, would allow Twitter users to report a post as misleading, in the same way they can currently report individual tweets as spam, or abusive or harmful.
