‘Starting today, we’ll begin enforcing the Civic Integrity Policy in context of the US 2022 midterms.’
Wow. Full-blown Communism in the United States
This means we’ll take action against misleading claims about the voting process, misleading content intended to intimidate or dissuade people from participating in the election, or misleading claims that may undermine public confidence in elections outcomes.

Twitter’s Election Misinformation Policy
— The Right To Bear Memes (@grandoldmemes) August 11, 2022
Twitter is going to ensure that the masses only get exposed to their version of truth leading up to the 2022 midterms.
Why do they need an “approach” to the 2022 midterms? They’re a social media platform…
The language they use is remarkable.
Today, as we do ahead of other global elections, we’re activating enforcement of our Civic Integrity Policy for the 2022 US midterms.
The Civic Integrity Policy covers the most common types of harmful misleading information about elections and civic events, such as: claims about how to participate in a civic process like how to vote, misleading content intended to intimidate or dissuade people from participating in the election, and misleading claims intended to undermine public confidence in an election – including false information about the outcome of the election. Tweets with this content may be labeled with links to credible information or helpful context, and Twitter will not recommend or amplify this content in areas of the product where Twitter makes recommendations. People on Twitter will see a prompt prior to liking or sharing labeled tweets, and in cases where there is potential for harm associated with the false or misleading claim, the Tweet may not be liked or shared to prevent the spread of the misleading information.
And, they’re bringing back “prebunks” to get ahead of narratives they don’t like, how fun.
We’re also bringing back prebunks — in English, Spanish, and all other languages supported on Twitter — to get ahead of misleading narratives on Twitter, and to proactively address topics that may be the subject of misinformation. Over the coming months, we’ll place prompts directly on people’s timelines in the US and in Search when people type related terms, phrases, or hashtags.
