Twitter is not just used by professionals but also general masses to highlight events and share thoughts. But, misleading tweets going viral has been an issue for a long.

How Twitter Plans To Curb Misleading Tweet Spread?
Twitter has released a new safety feature that will allow users to report any misleading tweet they come across on the platform. This new security option is currently limited to a few markets. The company has rolled out this option for the US, South Korea, and Australia.
We’re testing a feature for you to report Tweets that seem misleading - as you see them. Starting today, some people in the US, South Korea, and Australia will find the option to flag a Tweet as “It’s misleading” after clicking on Report Tweet.
