Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended placing a so-called fact check on President Donald Trumps post ahead of a planned executive order cracking down on technology companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make,\u201d Dorsey said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis does not make us an arbiter of truth. Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves. More transparency from us is critical so folks can clearly see the why behind our actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twitter didnt place a fact check on anyone on the platform before inserting an analysis on Trumps post.<\/p>\n

In the missive in question, Trump wrote theres no way that mail-in ballots \u201cwill be anything less than substantially fraudulent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n

Twitter added a line of blue text that told people to \u201cget the facts about mail-in ballots,\u201d punctuated by an exclamation mark inside a circle.<\/p>\n

Twitter referred to several news outlets in calling Trumps claims \u201cunsubstantiated\u201d before adding: \u201cExperts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original analysis by Twitter included a statement that is factually incorrect. Twitter said: \u201cmail-in ballots are already used in some states, including Oregon, Utah and Nebraska.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only a few states send all voters mail-in ballots, including Oregon and Utah, but Nebraska is among the states that is sending applications for mail-in ballots to every voter, not mail-in ballots themselves. The company later removed the reference to Nebraska and added the line: \u201cfive states already vote entirely by mail and all states offer some form of mail-in absentee voting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experts told The Epoch Times<\/a> that the fact-checking has dangerous implications.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwitter is essentially telling users who can and who cannot be trusted and labeling content from some users as untrustworthy,\u201d Andrew Selepak, a social media professor at the University of Florida told The Epoch Times. \u201cDetermining what is true and false \u2026 is what a content publisher would do\u2014and not a social media platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorsey and Twitter said the fact check was made in line with company policies.<\/p>\n

Trumps tweets \u201cmay mislead people into thinking they dont need to register to get a ballot (only registered voters receive ballots),\u201d Dorsey claimed.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers quickly fired back, with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) asserting Dorsey is accountable for Chinese Communist Party propaganda that Twitter has allowed to remain on its platform with no fact check. Twitter on Thursday added fact checks to several posts by a Chinese official.<\/p>\n
