Twitter once again flagged a tweet from President Trump urging voters to show up at polling stations in North Carolina during the election cycle to ensure their mail counts.

social media companies have stepped in to correct records on scattered remarks
about Trump's election, which are sometimes said’ to be "rigged" and
include mail. Voting is special. Victims of fraud
"North Carolina: To ensure your ballot counts, sign and
send it as soon as possible. When the polls open, go to the polling station to
see if it has been’ counted. If not, vote! Signed ballots will not be counted’

you illegally! "Trump said in his tweet.

Facebook has announced that it will remove videos of interviews
if the posts "did not correct the record" of voter fraud.
Last month, Twitter also issued a warning that mailboxes used
for the upcoming elections could lead to fraud.
Twitter's policies note that the company considers tweets to be
in the public interest if they "directly participate in understanding or
communicating a matter of public concern. Exemptions in the public interest
only apply to elected government officials."
