Twitter had added warning tags to two of Trump's tweets about mail-in ballots, inviting readers to 'get the facts' and linking to a page calling the president's claims 'unsubstantiated.'
The president's tweet shared the Twitter handle for the company's "Head of Site Integrity," Yoel Roth, who
explaining how the website would change the way it handled misleading information. That post announced that Twitter would use new labels and warning messages on some tweets where readers may be "confused or misled by the content."that would push the Federal Communications Commission to set new rules on some websites' protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
On Tuesday, Twitter for the first time added warning tags to two of Trump's tweets about mail-in ballots, inviting readers to "get the facts"Trump tweeted Thursday afternoon: "So ridiculous to see Twitter trying to make the case that Mail-In Ballots are not subject to FRAUD." "How stupid, there are examples, & cases, all over the place. Our election process will become badly tainted & a laughingstock all over the World," Trump's tweet said.Roth had reportedly posted critical messages about Trump and his supporters in the past. "I'm just saying, we fly over those states that voted for a racist tangerine for a reason," Roth tweeted in November 2016.
The Trump campaign has tweeted about Roth at least twice since Wednesday. And Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., referenced Roth – without using his name – in a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey
