(CNN) -
Twitter will no longer hide false or misleading tweets about the results of the United States elections with warning labels, as it did this week with several of President Donald Trump's messages on the platform.
"Now that the election result has been announced by multiple sources, according to our public guidelines we will no longer apply warnings in tweets commenting on the election result," a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement.
LEE: How Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are handling electoral disinformation
Twitter has tagged more than a third of Trump's tweets since the polls closed Tuesday night.
He concealed them with warnings that said "some or all of the content shared in this tweet is in dispute and could be misleading about an election or other civic process."
The measure forced users to click to view the tweet.

While those warnings will remain active, they will not apply to any new messages.
In addition to hiding offensive tweets behind warning labels, Twitter restricted how they could be shared.
Removed replies and likes and only allowed users to quote tweets instead of being able to retweet them.
This allows them to share them with their own comments attached.

Those restrictions will not apply to new tweets, the spokesperson confirmed.
The labels that Twitter does continue to use in messages about the elections
Twitter keeps tagging some tweets.
"This assertion about voter fraud is in dispute," reads a tag attached to a Trump tweet on Saturday that stated "observers were not allowed into the counting rooms" and "millions of ballots were mailed to people who never asked for them.
THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS.
I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES.
BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE.
NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!

"We will continue to apply tags to provide additional context in tweets about process integrity and next steps when necessary," added the spokesperson.
Trump still has protection from some of the strictest measures Twitter can take against users at the general level because of his status as a world leader.
This includes, for example, protection against message deletion.
Twitter's public interest policy maintains that it will allow tweets from elected and government officials to remain on the platform "given the significant public interest in knowing and being able to discuss their actions and statements."
Trump's personal account will lose those protections on January 20 when he leaves office.
(Official accounts such as @POTUS and @FLOTUS are assumed by the new Government when there is a change in power).
"Twitter's approach to world leaders, candidates and public officials is based on the principle that people should be able to choose to see what their leaders say with clear context," the spokesperson said.
"This policy framework applies to current world leaders and candidates for public office, and not to private citizens when they no longer hold those positions," he explained.
