Twitter says it will apply warnings to tweets that contain misleading information about COVID-19 vaccines and implement a strike system that could see users permanently banned for repeat violations.

Key points:
Twitter says it has removed thousands of tweets since December which spread misinformation about COVID-19
The new strike system will ban users who break their policy guidelines five times
Twitter most notably issued several warning labels on tweets from former US president Donald Trump
The social media network started promoting public health information before COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic.

It also aimed to remove demonstrably false or misleading content about the virus that had the highest risk of causing harm.

Under its new guidelines, Twitter users who are deemed to have peddled false COVID-19 information will be given a strike.

Twitter says there will be no punishment for a user's first strike, but that they will be temporarily locked out of their account after their second and third strikes.

If a user is issued a fourth strike, they will be banned from the social network for seven days.

A fifth strike will result in the user being permanently banned.

With more and more people now looking for authoritative public health information about vaccines as programs are rolled out across the world, Twitter said it would expand the guidance.

Katy Minshall, Twitter's head of UK public policy, said the company recognised the role it played in giving people credible public health information.

"We continue to work with health authorities around the world … to ensure high visibility access to trusted and accurate public health information on our service, including about COVID-19 vaccines," she told Reuters.

"Today we will begin applying labels to tweets that may contain misleading information about COVID-19 vaccines, in addition to our continued efforts to remove the most harmful COVID-19 misleading information from the service."
