Twitter now challenges you to Read before you Retweet
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.

- Only certain Twitter users on Android devices will be affected by this test for now.
- This self-described "experiment" aims to "improve the health of a conversation as it gets started" as well as to "see if reminding people to read an article before they share it leads to more informed discussion."
- As always with these brand new features, you can just ignore the prompt and "go ahead and Retweet."
