A post by US President Donald Trump has been given a fact-check label by Twitter for the first time.
President Trump tweeted: "There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent."
Twitter put a warning label under the post and a subsequent tweet under its new policy on misleading information.
Mr Trump responded by tweeting again, saying the social media giant "is completely stifling free speech".
Twitter's notification displays a blue exclamation mark underneath the tweets, suggesting readers "get the facts about mail-in ballots".
What is Twitter saying about Trump's posts?

Twitter's link directs users to a page on which Mr Trump's claims about mail-in ballots are described as "unsubstantiated". The social media company cites reporting on the issue by CNN, the Washington Post and others.
This is followed by a "what you need to know" section where Twitter corrects what it says are false claims by the US president.
The social media company had pledged to increase the warning labels under false or misleading information on its site - but it has been slow to take steps against the US president.
Twitter updated its policies on warning labels early this month.
What is President Trump's response?
In his new tweets, Mr Trump accused Twitter of interfering in the US presidential election scheduled for 3 November 2020.
He said that the social media company was "completely stifling free speech, and I, as president, will not allow it to happen".

Twitter oso beh tahan MACC antics?
ReplyDeleteno wonder ccp ban twitter.
ReplyDeleteAbsentee ballots, postal ballots, whatever you chose to call it, are a legitimate questionable issue, in Malaysia as well as in the US, with doubts about their authenticity, the eligibility of the person casting the vote etc.
ReplyDeleteThe debate should not be silenced by proponents simply labelling critics as liars, definitely not with Twitter taking sides.
" No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot "
ReplyDeleteIn this case, "idiot" should be amended to "idiotic brainwashed asshole lickers".
Twitter is just playing catch up as TikTok & BiliBili to entice its fast losing users, especially the generations of 90s & 00s!
ReplyDeleteBut can u people understand how the generations of 90s & 00s relate to the genX, Y & Z?
The MONEY is in these younger users. Not as a political tool for BShitting & propaganda by politikus.
Twitter is just covering its bottom lines & it certainly don't need a big mouthed potus to promote its popularity while cheesing off its key users!
win the world via platform like tik tok, not wuhanvirus.
DeleteIf u have any living neurons within that petrified skull of yrs, i should have know that TikTok has taken the world in not time!
Deletetiktok make much money from lockdown, due to wuhanvirus. so tiktok might have to pray hard there is a wave 23456789, inspired by yr type.
DeleteThus, proving yr dead neurons conclusively.
DeleteTikTok has been gaining market share the moment the youths discovered about it sometimes in late 2018. It becomes a rage with the western youths soon in early 2019.
Know how much angel fund it has managed to raise since its inception?
Wakakakakaka… make much money from lockdown!!!
In fact, due to lockdown there r very much less advertising incomes BUT more personal lifestyle streaming.
How pathetic for yr shoot-from-the-mouth rants about TikTok.
U r totally disconnected with the modern world, living under yr time dilated, fart filled well!
Orange Buffoon threatened to shut down Twitter, hehehe
ReplyDeleteDoes Donald Trump HAVE the power to shut down Twitter?
Ironic that his supporters all want freedom and democracy and he wants to curtail it unless he can spout his BS. No wonder the HK rioters love him, they are cut from the same cloth.
