Facebook to bar inaccurate info on voting requirements

Published October 15, 2018 9:36pm ET



Facebook is reportedly cracking down on inaccurate information on voting requirements by blocking false information related to voting.

With the 2018 midterm elections less than a month away, Facebook is expected to announce sometime Monday that the social media platform will bar posts with erroneous information about voting and fact-check misinformation about polling stations. Moderators of “community standards” will be overseeing the implementation of the policy, Reuters reports.
