Twitter plan to fight midterm misinformation falls short, voting rights experts say

Twitter’s current policies emphasize creating special labels for posts which may not be reliable, or which may seek to undermine public confidence in an election. However, critics say that this practice isn’t nearly as effective as removing such tweets from the platform entirely.
