Twitter for the first time added fact-check labels to a pair of tweets by President Trump that boosted unsubstantiated claims about voting fraud

Twitter for the first time added fact-check labels to a pair of tweets by President Donald Trump that boosted unsubstantiated claims about voting fraud on Tuesday, a move that comes as the social media network faces intense scrutiny of its handling of the president’s feed.

The action comes as the tech company faces rising pressure to crack down on the president’s Twitter account, which in recent days has posted ariling fears about widespread voter fraud and a series of posts stoking conspiracy theories about the death of a former staffer to MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.

That’s Republican paranoid bullshit!

Treadstone. Look it up folks.

Let’s hope the federal government steps in and begins regulating these Silicon Valley commies

Now do the rest.

Well guys, they're worried he might win again, and you know how he gets, with the vindictiveness and everything. I see now why he wanted to go to Africa.

Its about time. Keep up the good work. Ideally he should be banned for 1 month. Send him over the edge

shouldn't this happen with every Trump favoring media outlets? along with their hosts?

Who's checking the Twitter fact checkers Censorship

Twitter At Long Last.

They need to remove his tweets and fact check all future ones

Does anyone believe that his followers r gonna click on the fact check? Twitter (even though they r on here) is still considered a left wing propaganda outlet. I have a bridge to sell ya if u believe the former!

just wait until he discovers Tik Tok 😂

Pa. has already said,people have received multiple ballots,wrong ballots,or no ballots.&said they won't be able to call pres.winner till several days after elect. as they can't start counting till day of election,& don't know how they'd count over a million votes. 1/2

It’s about damn time!

They’re lies with a purpose.

Twitter will need to ramp up...the number of trump lies is going to escalate dramatically as we move closer to Election Day....

This isn't going to work. Twitter, please get some help from people who study how to debunk myths. Just stamping FALSE on a Tweet will only backfire.

They are working on AdamSchiff s hundreds of lies right now and will have 'the facts' in 2 weeks.
