Facebook slaps disclaimer on Trump's attack on mail-in voting

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/facebook-slaps-disclaimer-on-trumps-on-mail-in-voting/

Facebook placed an informational disclaimer Tuesday on a post from President Donald Trump claiming mail-in voting would lead to a “corrupt” election.

The move, without removing the post, appears to follow through on the social network giant’s pledge to step up efforts to fight misinformation, including from world leaders, shifting slightly from its hands-off policy on political speech....

Facebook added an information tag which said, “Get official voting info on how to vote in the 2020 US Election” with a link to the government-sponsored USA.gov page on how to cast ballots.
