That review found 17 candidates claiming that the 2022 election will be rigged or that aspects of the voting system are rigged, fraudulent or corrupt. Those claims were made in 40 posts on Facebook and Twitter. Those posts were left unchallenged by the social media companies, with no labeling from Facebook and Twitter, the review found.
But it remains an open question how Elon Musk’s new ownership of Twitter will affect that. Musk once promised to loosen content moderation practices and reinstate former president Donald Trump’s account and it’s uncertain how the site will police election rigging claims in the wake of theEarlier in the week, Musk promised civil rights groups and other activists that Twitter would continue implementing its current election integrity practices until the midterms were over.
It’s unclear why Finchem’s account was restricted or restored. Twitter didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment. Neither Finchem, Smith nor Dixon responded to The Post’s requests for comment.
The mainstream news media has been giving our President a free pass for over 2 years. Only fair that others should get a free pass too.
Bezos says what?
I don’t think the is in a position to be fact checking anyone given their own porous history
Biden post inaccuracies and lies constantly. I agree, this fool should be censored.
No word on how dem pests are misinforming the public?
Ugly.
.latimes Why haven't Twitter and Facebook refuted false claims from election deniers? It's their responsibility to our country, and our democracy to make sure public information is accurate, just as it is for our newspapers. Honesty, integrity and ethics are losing ground.

Are you serious!?! WP is the leading poster of misleading information on Twitter. How dare you try to be a fact checker of others. 🤮
And you want money for this? Really?
GFY
In my lifetime, the Republican Party offered nothing to the American people except the biggest lies (about taxes, healthcare, wages, the economy, the environment, social policy, foreign policy). They never offer any good ideas. Their lies are the foundation of our current mess.

Your strong hold on information is gone, your hypocrisy and bias is to blame, welcome to reality
Propaganda much?
I’m sure we could find 26 from the other side, too. I’m so sick of this kind of misinformation—never talking about both sides in the same article. Always claiming 1 side is doing 1 thing and the other side is claiming the same. It’s all biased, definite misinformation itself.
Just like the Democrats who denied the 2016 election.
