While promising to crack down on election misinformation on its platform and labeling a large number of President Donald Trump’s posts, Twitter allowed misinformation about Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) to spread virally across its platform freely.
Social media giant Twitter has promised to make many efforts to prevent the spread of misinformation on its platform. In recent months the site has blocked users from sharing links to lawyer Sidney Powell’s lawsuit relating to widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, announcing plans to send users warnings if they attempt to “like” tweets that Twitter determines constitute misinformation, and repeatedly censoring or labeling tweets from Trump relating to the recent election.
However, despite Twitter’s supposed dedication to cracking down on misinformation, the site allowed a number of tweets about Loeffler to spread virally across its platform, some with tens of thousands of likes are still active on the platform with no warnings or labels whatsoever.
One tweet has amassed almost 80,000 likes and has been retweeted over 25 thousand times. It claims that Loeffler is campaigning in the Georgia Senate runoff elections on “understanding what it feels like living paycheck to paycheck.” The tweet includes a picture of a large home with a pool, claiming that it is one of Loeffler’s five homes. It is not.
The photo in the picture is actually the home of TV host and comedian Steve Harvey; before Harvey owned the house actor and producer Tyler Perry owned the home. One tweet with 642 likes pointed this out in reply to the initial tweet:

When searching Twitter for “Kelly Loeffler” the term “Kelly Loeffler House” is immediately suggested by Twitter. A number of other false and misleading tweets about Loeffler’s homes can be found under the search term:

This is just silly. Everyone knows Loeffler’s house is the one with the $50,000 portrait of the communist Chinese butcher Mao Tse-dung on the wall.
The Völkischer Beobachter is alive and well on the major social media sites.
They will look into it after the election.
I just saw ad on Fox news channel touting that AG Barr said there is no evidence of vote fraud. That may not be exactly what it said but he was an idiot for saying it as he should have known it would be used by the demons.
Hi. Welcome to FR.
Imho the social media platforms have interfered in the 2020 general election. From facebook and twitter censoring accounts, suspending them and not allowing candidate advertising, to adding a Politifact “fact check” to every post.
Not to mention that they donated tons of money to many left wing orgs.
The social media giants and their accomplices in the corrupt corporate media are enemies of the people. Ninety percent of the MSM donates to the democrats.
For example, Google has a number of large contracts with the fed. One with the CIA, and another with the NSA. And then...
Does any sentient being trust the DOJ or FBI?
F’em.
Y’all know my telephone number and address.
Apologies for the rant.
