We’ll temporarily ask people to add their own commentary before amplifying content by prompting Quote Tweets instead of Retweets. We hope this encourages everyone to consider why they are amplifying a Tweet, and brings more thoughts, reactions & perspectives to the conversation.

We’re taking more steps to encourage thoughtful amplification by preventing Tweets that have been “followed by” and “liked by” accounts you don’t follow from showing up in your timeline.

We will only surface Trends in the “For You” tab in the U.S. that include additional context. This will more quickly let people know why something is trending and also help reduce the potential for misleading information to spread.

Our goal is to continue to provide access to critical information and encourage participation in the conversation during #Election2020 .
