Twitter has added fact-checking links to Trump's false tweets about voting by mail - Business Insider

U.S. President Trump delivers statement in Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in WashingtonTwitter has added fact-checking links to President Trump's misleading tweets about mail-in voting.

Clicking on the link takes users to a Twitter "Moments" page which includes a section titled, "What you need to know." He added: "The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone ... living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one. That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!"

"We're going to watch Pennsylvania," then candidate Trump said in August 2016. "Go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people don't come in and vote five times." However, he later deleted the tweet after observers pointed out that the state had mailed ballot applications, not ballots themselves, to residents. But Trump then doubled down and claimed, again falsely, that even sending absentee-ballot requests was illegal.

Trump is right to be angry. You can’t fact check an opinion. He believes bad outcomes will happen in the future. Unless Twitter has a time machine what they are responding with is not correcting facts but expressing an opinion. Or maybe someone else’s opinion.

Ballots by mail!?. There is no way they made it to the moon.

I'm so proud of you Twitter, it took you way too long to get there tho just do it for every political leaders in the world ty

Fab. It's about time. Facts are an anathema to him. He's the president. He shouldn't be spreading lies about our voting system. Hell, he shouldn't be lying AT ALL, FFS.

Mail in ballots are fraudulent. 20M unaccounted for in the past decade. Your headline is a lie MockingbirdMedia CCP_DNC

Trump’s tweet wasn’t false. Your reporting and their fact checking, however, are false.

Hey, Twitter who/what are your fact checking resources?

It’s rather a pathetic attempt and misleading. Doesn’t actually say it’s fact checking.

He will take that in his stride lol

Will Twitter be assigning the same fact-checking links to all media coverage going forward? Bloody hope so, especially all those opinion pieces that are supposedly “journalism”!

Twitter should put a fact-checking links to CNN, Bloomberg News, Washington Post, PBS, CBS and others. Shame on Twitter from blocking our President to delivery his message to us. Let us decide.

Way over due! Twitter has been complacent in supporting his nonsensical rubbish for far too long!

How shameful that now twitter needs to put a link just to inform realDonaldTrump followers that he is lying and they can find correct info. MAGA LiarInCheif Disgrace KAG CarnivalBarkingDog

Bandaid...

Get ready for another epic rant from Tweeter-in-chief.

That's fine, but is Twitter going to fact-check your attempt to pass off 'unsubstantiated' as ' false'?
