The social media company’s decision follows its flagging of a pair of tweets from President Trump that said mail-in ballots are vulnerable to fraud. That decision called into question the political bias of the man in charge of fact checking for the social media giant.
But when The Post asked Twitter spokeswoman Liz Kelleywhether Twitter would similarly annotate Zhao Lijian’s dubious March tweets, she said they would not add fact-check warnings “at this time.”
Pressed further for a rationale, Kelley later said the company had changed its mind and “after further review, we’ve added labels to these two tweets.”
