Can Twitter Save Social Media?
Like most social media platforms, Twitter deserves its share of criticism for helping to spread lies and misinformation. But a feature they are piloting now may help to reduce the ability for bullshit to go viral, by asking people to do one simple thing: read an article before they share it.
The new feature pops up a message encouraging someone to read an article they are about to retweet before sharing it. Of course some people will ignore the popup, but some won't, and reading an article you are about to share certainly seems like the bare minimum that we should all be doing anyway.
