Twitter has said it will clamp down on misleading political stunts after the Conservative party press office rebranded as 'factcheck UK'.
ITV via Getty Images: Twitter has vowed to take “decisive corrective action” in the future against misleading stunts pulled during the U.K. election campaign, after a Conservative Party social media account was rebranded ‘factcheckUK’ during the first head-to-head debate between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn.
During the debate, the verified Twitter account of the Conservative Party press office overhauled its design and title and claimed to be fact checking the remarks of Labour leader Corbyn.
