Twitter announced a major policy update on February 18, 2026, aimed at curbing misinformation ahead of the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. The platform will now flag and reduce the visibility of posts containing false claims related to voting processes, according to a company blog post. Twitter will also increase fact-checking partnerships and introduce new user prompts to verify information before sharing.

Twitter’s update is part of a broader industry effort to improve content moderation and user trust.
