Twitter: We labeled some 300,000 tweets during US election

Twitter said on Thursday it applied contextual labels to approximately 300,000 tweets for content that was disputed or potentially misleading during a two-week period covering the US presidential election, CNN reported.

In addition to the labeling, Twitter said more than 450 of all the labeled tweets were also covered up by a warning message and were subject to sharing restrictions that limited how they could be retweeted.
