Trump posted the same text on both platforms. The comparison between Twitter and Facebook& #39;s actions are key.

Trump& #39;s posts cover multiple types of voter suppression— https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 1" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 1"> sowing doubt in the procedure of the election, https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2">intimidating voters w/ threats of health risks, and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3">falsely insinuating election fraud.

Facebook has a similar policy to the one Twitter applied; Trump& #39;s Facebook post could be considered a misrepresentation of the "methods for voting" and also, "whether a vote will be counted" given Trump& #39;s false statement that people can vote multiple times.

But Facebook didn& #39;t apply these policies. Instead, it added a link to its Voting Information Center, something it said it would do to all posts that discuss voting. Eg here& #39;s a post by PBS about voting that applies the same link to the Voter Information Center:

The takeaway here is that Facebook& #39;s inaction on Trump& #39;s false post allows false information to propagate without any distinction of whether the original information was true or false.

This makes me think of a quote from Harvard Prof. Case R. Sunstein& #39;s paper, Falsehoods and the First Amendment: "for some falsehoods, the marketplace works exceedingly poorly" Especially with election integrity on the line, labeling a post w/ "additional info" is not enough.
