Twitter will expand its effort to combat misinformation on the platform by showing warnings to users who try to like tweets labelled for false or misleading information.

The social media company announced the change via its Twitter Support account. The new warnings on liked tweets join Twitter’s ongoing efforts, which include putting labels on tweets with false or misleading information as well as showing warnings to users who try to retweet those tweets.

These prompts helped decrease Quote Tweets of misleading information by 29% so we're expanding them to show when you tap to like a labeled Tweet. pic.twitter.com/WTK164nMfZ
