Twitter warns users Trump's posts 'might be misleading'
US President Donald Trump has been fact-checked by Twitter, again, after posting a message about mail-in voting.
Trump posted a message on the social platform on Monday, saying there were “Big problems and discrepancies with Mail In Ballots all over the USA.”
“Must have final total on November 3rd,” he wrote.
Twitter in response, placed a label above the president’s message, saying it "might be misleading.”
It warned users that some or all of the content shared in the tweet "is disputed and might be misleading about how to participate in an election or another civic process.”
Twitter also added a fact-check below the tweet, taking users to a page entitled "Voting by mail is legal and safe, experts and data confirm."
It stopped other users from liking, retweeting, or replying to Trump’s tweet.
During his reelection campaign, Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on credibility of mail-in voting.
While he says voting by mail would lead to mass voter fraud, election experts describe it as secure as any other method.
His campaign has filed lawsuit in seven states to block the expansion of vote-by-mail.
However, a record number of people are expected to cast their vote by mail this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has already killed over 225,000 people across the country.
Twitter has previously labeled or added warnings to Trump’s tweets about main-in ballots as well a COVID-19.
"With this warning and in line with our Civic Integrity Policy, we will significantly reduce the tweet's visibility and people will not be able to like, reply or retweet it," said Twitter spokesman.
