Twitter took no action on high-profile posts that a nonpartisan watchdog flagged as problematic.
four days after Twitter Inc fired half its staff and new owner Elon Musk tweeted a recommendation to vote for Republican candidates.
Voices on the right sought on social media on Tuesday to falsely blame Democrats for voting glitches reported in some places. “Twitter is hopeless and not responding beyond replying that they are looking into something and then going dark on it for days,” the group said, noting that the company’s response time was normally about one to three hours.
More than 120 advocacy organizations including Common Cause in May urged — without success — social media companies to introduce “circuit breakers” to curtail the rapid spread of misleading election information by popular accounts. Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has made false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him through widespread voting fraud, posted on his social media app Truth Social that the issues in some states amounted to a fresh round of deliberate misbehavior.
