WASHINGTON: Twitter said Oct 26 it would take the proactive step of alerting its users to potential misinformation in preparation for unverified claims about the Nov 3 US election.

The short messaging service said it would place notices at the top of user feeds warning that there may be delays in full election results and that people might see “misleading information” about voting by mail.
