Twitter is testing new labels on tweets with potential misinformation

The labels at current stage of developments are,

• Stay informed – This label will also apply to evolving news topics such as news related to COVID-19, with links to relevant key authoritative sources.
• Misleading – This label would flag tweets that may include questionable claims and provide links to official sources.
