Twitter said Wednesday it plans to expand its rules against misleading information about mail-in ballots and early voting, a move that could have major implications for the social media platform’s handling of tweets by President Donald Trump and his allies.
The company told POLITICO it’s exploring ways to broaden its policies against misinformation about mail-in voting to cover a wider array of posts, including those that contain more general mischaracterizations about the process. And the platform, which like other major social media companies has helped its users register to vote in past U.S. elections, said it plans to focus its registration efforts for 2020 on mail-in and early voting.
“Twitter is working hard to increase informed participation in democratic processes around the world,” Twitter's vice president of public policy for the Americas, Jessica Herrera-Flanigan, said in a statement. “Ahead of the 2020 US Election, we're focused on empowering every eligible person to register and vote through partnerships, tools and new policies that emphasize accurate information about all available options to vote, including by mail and early voting.
