Twitter tried to correct Trump's falsehoods about vote by mail, but the platform's first fact-check on the president's tweets was itself misleading

, he threatened to "strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen."

He declared, without evidence, that "mailboxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed" in California, falsely charging that the state is sending ballots to "anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there." are suing in the state of California

When a user clicks on the "get the facts about mail-in ballots" banner, it leads them to a Twitter event page titled "Trump makes unsubstantiated claim that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud" with a Twitter-written blurb explaining the context behind Trump's attacks on California and writing that "experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud.

Except it’s not misleading in a logical sense, the only reason someone would commit voter fraud is to influence an election. If there’s only 1,285 verified cases since 2007 then the conclusion is that voter fraud does not effect election outcomes.

I’d take slightly misleading over an outright lie any day.

you know it wasn't legit when...

Yes good

This guy is in charge of promoting fairness for Twitter 🤣
