LONDON: Twitter said it would make it easier to report misleading information about the voting process in Britain's Dec. 12 election, less than a month after its global ban on political advertising comes into force.

It said on Monday it was also taking additional steps to make sure the British election was"healthy, open and safe". "We've established a cross-functional UK elections team that will proactively protect the integrity of the election-related conversation, support partner escalations, and identify potential threats from malicious actors," it said in a blog post.Users taking part in the election debate will be able to use a customised election emoji that is a visual play on the word"Vote" activated by the use of hashtags including #GE19, it said.
