Twitter, Facebook slap labels on Trump's posts on voting twice

Twitter and Facebook on Thursday placed warning labels on President Donald Trump's latest posts on mail-in-voting, this time in which he suggested to voters they show up at polling places and vote in person if their mail-in-ballots had yet to be counted.

"We placed a public interest notice on two Tweets in this thread for violating our Civic Integrity Policy, specifically for encouraging people to potentially vote twice," Twitter posted, quoting Trump's tweet threat. "The laws regarding the invalidation of mail-in ballots when individuals choose to vote in person are complex, and vary significantly by state. Our goal is to prevent people from sharing advice about voting twice, which may be illegal."

"To protect people on Twitter, we err on the side of limiting the circulation of Tweets which advise people to take actions which could be illegal in the context of voting or result in the invalidation of their votes," Twitter added, saying the tweet will remain up but that other users will not be able to like, reply, or retweet it.

On Facebook, Trump's post was made to link to the social media company's voting information center. The label said: "Voting by mail has a long history of trustworthiness in the US and the same is predicted this year" and was sourced to the Bipartisan Policy Center.

but if a democrat did it he would want the death penalty, if he could get it.

I keep waiting for some journalist or someone to say loudly he is a traitor and he cant be treated like a prez.

GOP keeps him in power, GOP is my enemy. They are trying to kill me and with the virus and all, they probably will.

If Obama or Hillary did this

a. every newspaper in the country demands resignation instantly
b. every journalist on every media source yells questions out to them about it
c. every one of the 50 million registered republicans need to be SCRAPED off the ceiling with those scrapers you use in snowy conditions to clean your windshield, because they would be OUTRAGED and if Obama or Hillary were not immediately impeached, they would go to the streets with guns.

Not one word I said is hyperbole.
