Washington (CNN Business):
For the first time, Twitter called tweets from Donald Trump "potentially misleading" — a decision that prompted the president to accuse the social media platform of election meddling.
On Tuesday, Twitter highlighted two of Trump's tweets that falsely claimed mail-in ballots would lead to widespread voter fraud, appending a message the company has introduced to combat misinformation and disputed or unverified claims.
"Get the facts about mail-in ballots," read the message beneath each tweet. It linked to a curated fact-check page the platform had created filled with further links and summaries of news articles debunking the assertion.
Donald Trump is not just fighting the media, academia, Wall St and Hollywood, he is also fighting the social media. The left's weapon, whose effectiveness is proven, is to accuse the right of racism or sexism or other forms of discrimination. Instead of fighting this the right retaliates by accusing the left of those things too, which is not a good strategy.
Mr Roth is now being accused by someone on Twitter of sending racist tweets. And so it goes.
Yoel Roth, head of site integrity for Twitter, has posted several racist tweets. This man should not be in this position— Valaria Constantino (@junkfruit77) May 27, 2020
