ashleyboyd let's suspend 'trending topics' until after the election. don't give misinformation campaigns more data.

Now if we can get television to do the same thing! There should be an independent organization that fact checks campaign ads, removes them if untrue, and heavily fines the party responsible!

The White liberals who run the mainstream media and the Democratic Party are working overtime to control the narrative of social media platforms! Trying to get back that control of reality I see! It’s too late! The genie is out of the bottle SATAN!

Meanwhile over at Facebook...

Bye CNNPolitics! See ya MSNBC! Farewell MainstreamMedia! Too bad Twitter is bias and we'll never see that garbage labeled as false or misleading.

Then why was these removed?

I think Twitter overestimates it's influence.

A Biden/Harris presidency would be orders of magnitude worse than a Trump second term. Tax extremism. Environment over people. Economic collapse. Rampant crime. Forced vaccinations with unknown long-term effects. Status over merit. This election is about the future. Don’t blow it

They can start with npr

So every political post then? What about ads? Misleading is the underpinning of the entire advertising genre.

And I as I always ask...why wait, why not start now?

It sounds like nobody but the authorities can contest the results. So whatever party is in charge of any states voting system is not to be challenged.

And who will monitor those making these decisions?

So every MSM outlet will be removed? 🤔

This is excellent!!!!

All other false and misleading information to be propagated as usual.

slpng_giants Thank you jack

Unless they plan on banning Trump’s account, this will be useless.
