<p>A design mock-up obtained by NBC News shows how verified fact-checkers and journalists can highlight incorrect tweets directly below the original post.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>There also appears to be a way for others to add their feedback, with a Participate button.</p>
<p>Misinformation was under the spotlight during the 2019 general election and continues to be a concern as the US prepares for the presidential election later this year.</p>
<p>Offending material is described as harmfully misleading in a tab underneath, which reads: “Twitter community reports have identified this tweet as violating the community policy on harmfully misleading information.</p>
<p>“This tweet’s visibility will be reduced</p>
<p>The mock-up examples include a tweet by US presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders about gun background checks and another by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy regarding whistleblowers.</p>

<p>Twitter confirmed it is currently in the very early stages of considering the feature, so early that the project is not even staffed yet, the tech giant claims.</p>
<p>“We’re exploring a number of ways to address misinformation and provide more context for tweets on Twitter,” a spokeswoman said.</p>
<p>“This is a design mock-up for one option that would involve community feedback.</p>
<p>“Misinformation is a critical issue and we will be testing many different ways to address it.”</p>
