Facebook today also spoke at some length about its plans to label premature claims of election victory. A US senator just wrote them this week arguing that labels don’t really do much: https://t.co/SR4xeZxm0U — PolitiTweet.org

I had a nightmare last night where I was in the middle of listening to Google v. Oracle arguments when DOJ decided to file its Google suit *and* the judge in Epic v. Apple case reached her decision on a preliminary injunction, all at once. It was… not fun. — PolitiTweet.org

Hi! While you’re here, please read today’s other super-important story about a gigantic court case involving Google and Oracle that could have huge ripple effects for software and the internet writ large: https://t.co/nb8dDEsUJU — PolitiTweet.org

The new policies come after Trump and his allies have spread inflammatory rhetoric about the election process in recent weeks. More on Facebook’s new policies here: https://t.co/Oh1DK9uoR1 — PolitiTweet.org

Who at Facebook will be responsible for making the call on this type of content? “We are training our teams in applying those policies and it’ll be my team looking at that content as we make those decisions,” Bickert told me. — PolitiTweet.org

This policy *would* apply to Trump Jr’s “army” video if posted again, Facebook confirms. Facebook’s Monika Bickert told reporters that covered content would include posts that use the word “army” or “battle.” The policy is intended to get at “implicit” voter suppression. — PolitiTweet.org

ALSO NEW: Facebook introduces a new policy against content that urges Americans to report to election sites as unauthorized poll watchers, if the content uses “militarized language” or if the intent is to intimidate voters. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Facebook says it will temporarily halt all political and issue advertising following Election Day, following in the footsteps of Google. The ad moratorium also applies to ads that were run ahead of Election Day. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffEisenach @SiAction @litaruby @realDonaldTrump Helen’s point is relevant, Jeff. It’s apples and oranges to compare flu seasons from decades ago pre-vaccine and modern day flu seasons where flu shots are free and widely available. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Warner sent letters to Facebook, Google and Twitter today to press them to step it up on misinformation — after it took hours for Facebook and Twitter to act on Trump’s misleading tweets suggesting Covid-19 is less dangerous than the flu. https://t.co/SR4xeZxm0U — PolitiTweet.org
