Twitter takes a historic step by fact-checking President Donald Trump directly on its platform for the first time. The social media company applies warning labels to two of his tweets that make misleading claims about mail-in voting, displaying a tag that reads "Get the facts about mail-in ballots" beneath the posts.

When users click the links, they see a page explaining that fact-checkers find no evidence linking mail-in ballots to voter fraud, directly contradicting the president's claims. A Twitter spokesperson states that the platform labels the tweets because they contain potentially misleading information about voting processes and require additional context.

President Trump strongly objects to the intervention, accusing Twitter of interfering in the 2020 election and stifling free speech. Meanwhile, Trump's campaign manager Brad Parscale criticizes the move as a politically biased tactic, pointing out that the campaign already stopped advertising on the platform months ago due to similar concerns.
