Google and Twitter said they are increasing restrictions on disinformation ahead of the US presidential election, the BBC reported.

Platforms expect a flood of bogus claims and misleading entries.

Twitter said it plans to more aggressively tag and remove inaccurate tweets related to the US election.

New restrictions may also apply to tweets, which will announce the premature victory of a candidate.

"We will not permit our service to be abused around civic processes, most importantly elections," Twitter wrote in its blog. "Any attempt to do so - both foreign and domestic - will be met with strict enforcement of our rules, which are applied equally and judiciously for everyone."

Google said it will conduct more intensive checks on automatic search results to avoid misleading voters.

Any misleading information related to election results will not show up in search results.
