Twitter said Wednesday it plans to expand its rules against misleading information about mail-in ballots and early voting, a move that could have major implications for the social media platform’s handling of tweets by President Donald Trump and his allies.
The company told POLITICO it’s exploring ways to broaden its policies against misinformation about mail-in voting to cover a wider array of posts, including those that contain more general mischaracterizations about the process. And the platform, which like other major social media companies has helped its users register to vote in past U.S. elections, said it plans to focus its registration efforts for 2020 on mail-in and early voting.
“Twitter is working hard to increase informed participation in democratic processes around the world,” Twitter's vice president of public policy for the Americas, Jessica Herrera-Flanigan, said in a statement. “Ahead of the 2020 US Election, we're focused on empowering every eligible person to register and vote through partnerships, tools and new policies that emphasize accurate information about all available options to vote, including by mail and early voting.
twitter: do a huge public service - provide easy, CORRECT info/links on how to do early, absentee or mail-in voting & explain the rules - diff in every state. Challenge facebook and news outlets too. Not sure we can trust various all-too-easy apps collecting personal info!
so ALL misinformation about mail-in ballots will be taken down? 28 million mail-in ballots went missing in the last 4 elections. whatever party you side with, you all should want a fair election! if you can go to the store with a mask on, you can go vote in person with a mask on!
Things you need an ID card for to prove your identity: Job Drive a car Cash a check See Doctor Open a bank account Collect Welfare Collect SS Buy gun Some states to vote Buy liquor Get on a plane Sign up school Buy Cigs Nationwide voter ID law..Free ID. What is the problem?
Excellent
Well sure twitter or FB ect. Will control what you see and hear about mail ballots.
About time.

Bring it on
They are going to cover up the reporting around Election Day about it. Google will erase any trace. Facebook will do the same. These are your new overlords they’ll tell you what to think
Interesting how the fact checkers come from jobs related to someone tied to the Democrat Party.
All these pollsters are gonna totally miss the demographic shifts of the ongoing TrumpGOPgenocide.
'Major implications' as in never ending whining about how conservative voices are being silenced because they can't lie.
О, дивный новый мир! 'Конец истории'? Первая поправка?
