Twitter Inc on Thursday set out a plan to combat the spread of election misinformation that revives previous strategies, but civil and voting rights experts said it would fall short of what is needed to prepare for the upcoming US mid-term elections.

The social media company said it will apply its civic integrity policy, introduced in 2018, to the November 8 mid-terms, when numerous US Senate and House of Representatives seats will be up for election.

Musk has called himself a “free speech absolutist,” and has said Twitter posts should only be removed if there is illegal content, a view supported by many in the tech industry. “We’re seeing the same patterns playing out,” said Evan Feeney, deputy senior campaign director at Color of Change, which advocates for the rights of Black Americans.

In a paper published last month, Stanford University researchers examined a sample of posts on Twitter and Meta Platforms’ Facebook that altogether contained 78 misleading claims about the 2020 election. Twitter’s efforts to fight misinformation during the mid-terms will include information prompts to debunk falsehoods before they spread widely online.
