Twitter places fact-check notification on Trump tweet about mail-in ballots

[kentuck]

From Reuters:

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26 (Reuters) - Twitter on Tuesday placed a notification fact-checking tweets sent by President Donald Trump claiming that mail-in ballots will be "substantially fraudulent" and result in a "rigged election."
The notification, which displays a blue exclamation mark underneath the tweets, prompts readers to "get the facts about mail-in ballots" and directs them to a page with news articles and information from fact checkers debunking the claim.

1. They should ban that stupid daughterfucker already

If I posted one tenth of the hostile, violence-inciting bullshit that he posts, I'd be banned for life.

Of course, Trump generates revenue for Twitter, and regardless of any claims to the contrary, that's absolutely all they care about.

2. I used to think they shouldn't ban him, just fact-check...

but now I think we've sailed way past that threshold.

3. At the very least

They should remove all of his posts that break their stated rules!

7. Exactly! He gets away with all kinds of crap. If most people posted the crap

he does they would have been banned forever.

12. Or at the very minimum, hide them and make people choose to uncover the lies.

That will make it much more obvious then an explanation point.

over something far more trifling than Donnie's daily spew.
