Twitter is trying out some new software that will prompt users with a message before they retweet an article that they have not actually opened and read.
Sharing an article can spark conversation, so you may want to read it before you Tweet it.
To help promote informed discussion, we’re testing a new prompt on Android –– when you Retweet an article that you haven’t opened on Twitter, we may ask if you’d like to open it first.

This may help stop the spread of misinformation from malicious fake news sources.
Is this a good idea? Or do you want to keep retweeting as you please whether or not you read something.
