Twitter is testing out a new feature that will show a warning message to anyone who tries to retweet an article without clicking on it as part of an effort to "help promote informed discussion," the company announced Wednesday. "Sharing an article can spark conversation, so you may want to read it before you Tweet it," the announcement reads.It's one of the latest measures Twitter has taken in recent months to more actively steer discourse on the app. In May, Twitter unrolled new features that let people select who can reply to their tweets in an attempt to reduce flame wars between users.
It's not clear whether Twitter plans any wider rollout for its prompt urging people to read articles before sharing them.
