Kalshi and Polymarket prohibit affiliates from spreading election misinformation
Popular online prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket will prohibit paid creators and affiliates from denying election results, NPR reports, as online creators spread misinformation about California’s election.
In a social media post, Bobby Allyn, NPR technology reporter, reports: “Kalshi now says it prohibits paid creators from calling into question the integrity or accuracy of an election, legal ruling or official determination in connection with an election.
“Polymarket now says any affiliate post denying an election result would violate their terms of service stipulating that creators do not spread false and misleading information,” he added. “The company says it has asked that posts from two of its paid affiliates lose its sponsorship.”
Last week, Kalshi asked influencers paid to promote the site to take down posts spreading election misinformation, including a video from commentator David Freeman where the Trump supporter said: “Let’s talk about California for a second. You know they’re cheating. I know they’re cheating. You know they’re cheating. We all know they’re cheating.”
