Twitter said Monday it would take the proactive step of alerting its users to potential misinformation in preparation for unverified claims about the November 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.

"We're introducing 'pre-bunks' for some of the most common misleading claims about #Election2020," Roth tweeted. The move is the latest by online platforms aimed at stemming a wave of unverified claims during the campaign, including President Donald's Trump's efforts to call into question the legitimacy of mail-in ballots.
