- Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke’s campaign on Friday called on Facebook, Twitter and Alphabet’s Google to do more to fight disinformation ahead of the November 2020 election.

In its letter to Twitter, the O’Rourke campaign pointed to an account with the handle @suemo54 and name Sue Moore, which posted the claim on Sunday. It has been retweeted more than 11,000 times since then. “Our democracy depends on these platforms managing the crisis of disinformation. We’re aware they’ve all made efforts to improve. We are saying these efforts have been insufficient,” O’Malley Dillon wrote.Twitter users trying to access the @suemo54 account on Friday were shown a warning that it was “temporarily restricted” due to “unusual activity.” The tweet could still be viewed, however.

DebraMessing who beta?

DebraMessing Awesome! Maybe we can finally find out how Francis and the El Paso land grabbers screw good honest people out of their land?

kind of like how they suppress Yang

If the press were to ignore Trump while he’s having his syphilitic episodes, our country will be productive.

DebraMessing The only wave is our band

A true and great man. Keep going. Don't let all the hatred discourage you. Make America Proud Again MAPA!

Disinformation? Like using a fake hispanic nickname?

There's a fine line between combating disinfo. & becoming a propaganda machine... & these platforms have been crossing that line. O'Rourke isn't giving any thought to the measures we need to take to preserve our liberties in the online world. That's not someone I could support.

Does he even hold an elected office? 😆 What a joke.

Well, they should start reporting his names as Robert, not Beto, and keep reinforcing that, despite his efforts, he is not hispanic

He could make a meaningful contribution to this cause by just shutting his own yapper.

But they are the ones who are ushering the misinformation via algorithms on their apps, so ...

He said: 'Bad company, now you stop that!' And the companies didn't stop. Beto then screamed to himself, 'Why, oh, why am I so useless?'

Lets see. Google creates its own disinformation with the 'algorithms '

So he shut down his campaign!!😂

Lighten up, Francis....you're irrelevant.

Translation: Please take away Democrats most potent advantage

My health insurance premium is more than my mortgage and no one in my house is even sick. Someone please fix this.
