In the test, pushed to some users on Android devices, the company is introducing a prompt asking people if they really want to retweet a link that they have not tapped on. \u201cSharing an article can spark conversation, so you may want to read it before you tweet it,\u201d Twitter said in a statement. \u201cTo help promote informed discussion, we\u2019re testing a new prompt on Android \u2013 when you retweet an article that you haven\u2019t opened on Twitter, we may ask if you\u2019d like to open it first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Less academically sound, but more telling, was another article posted that same year with the headline \u201cStudy: 70% of Facebook users only read the headline of science stories before commenting\u201d \u2013 the fake news website the Science Post has racked up a healthy 127,000 shares for the article which is almost entirely lorem ipsum filler text. Twitter\u2019s solution is not to ban such retweets, but to inject \u201cfriction\u201d into the process, in order to try to nudge some users into rethinking their actions on the social network. It is an approach the company has been taking more frequently recently, in an attempt to improve \u201cplatform health\u201d without facing accusations of censorship.<\/p>\n<p>That move has proved less effective, with the company\u2019s filter picking up as much harmless \u2013 if foul-mouthed \u2013 conversation between friends as it does genuinely hateful speech targeting others. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to encourage people to rethink their behaviour and rethink their language before posting because they often are in the heat of the moment and they might say something they regret,\u201d Twitter\u2019s global head of site policy for trust and safety said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2020\/jun\/11\/twitter-aims-to-limit-people-sharing-articles-they-have-not-read\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter is trying to stop people from sharing articles they have not read, in an experiment the company hopes will \u201cpromote informed discussion\u201d on social&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[40],"tags":[3769,610,411],"class_list":["post-13934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weben","tag-sharing","tag-social-media","tag-twitter","wpcat-40-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rsz_vaulogo.jpg?fit=100%2C58&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13934"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13936,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13934\/revisions\/13936"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
