There seems to be ??????? ??????? ??????? ?????quite a lot of confusion surrounding some recent updates Twitter made to its platform.
Specifically, Twitter changed what happens when you click the “retweet” button.

Previously, if a user clicked the retweet button, Twitter would provide two options. The user could simply retweet the tweet or post a quote tweet, basically a user’s own commentary with the retweeted tweet shared via an embed.
Now, if a user clicks the retweet button on Twitter, it will immediately pull up the quote tweet option. This has confused a lot of Twitter users, who believe they can only quote tweet now.

This is not true! Users can still retweet without having to quote tweet. To do so, simply click the retweet button again and the retweet will go through as normal.

Twitter actually announcedthis change earlier this month. The reason for the update is to help curb mass retweeting of misinformation and fake news in the weeks heading into the U.S. presidential election. According to the company, it hopes the extra prompt encourages you to think about what you’re sharing before retweeting it — and maybe even add your own opinions via a quote tweet instead.
But, that’s not all. There’s another retweet change confusing Twitter users too.
In addition to quote tweets being the default, if a user tries to retweet an article, Twitter will also now first display a prompt double-checking to see if they read the article first before sharing. Twitter first started testing this featureout during the summer and has nowrolled it out to all users. Again though, many users were confused — like the social media manager for the Republicans on the House Committee on the Judiciary.

To be clear, Twitter isn’t showing this prompt to certain people or on certain articles. This isn't shadow banning or anti-conservative bias. This label will appear on every article as we head towards the election.
I can personally testify to this fact as Twitter asked me if I'd read the article when I attemptedto retweet my own piece.

Once the new label shows up, users can just bypass it by hitting the retweet button. Twitter isn’t even requiring that you open up the link to the article first. It’s just a text prompt.

So, this is how Twitter will work for the next few weeks. You can still mindlessly retweet and share articles if you want to. Twitter just wants you to take an extra moment to think about it before you do.
