Twitter yet again flags Trump's post about mail-in-voting over 'misleading' content

Twitter on October 27 flagged the United States President Donald Trump's post about mail-in-ballots, where the Republican leader had claimed that the voting system has "big problems" and "discrepancies". Twitter added a disclaimer to the post saying, "some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about how to participate in an election or another civic process." The social media company also added a link to redirect users to another page underlining how voting by mail is safe and secure.
