We have already heard of the measures that have been taking both Faceobok and Google to curb the expansion of false news through its services. Now there is Twitter as other important platforms on the Internet to implement measures to curb the false news.

In this sense, it is believed that Twitter has in evidence a tool so that users can denounce tweets that have false news and information that may become false or misleading.

The downside is that from the company refuses such a fact, as indicated in a publication appeared in The Washington Post in which expressly states that "currently there are no plans to launch any type of product along these lines."

Since TNW consider that although the company may not have a timetable for launching the tool, he also thinks that Twitter is taking longer to take letters in the matter to try to curb the diffusion of false news on its platform, and more considering that from the same is usual the existence of profiles of fake users who are dedicated to amplify false news , thus broadening its reach.

In this way, Twitter, as an important social platform that is, should already be taken more seriously the need to curb the diffusion of false news that is produced from its platform because Facebook as Google are already doing their homework on it.
