declares himself

.
In another, he claims the Democrats will steal the election victory.
It is provided with a warning from
.
As the Telegraph journalist James Titcomb writes on Twitter, this happened just a few minutes after the tweet appeared.
"Some or all of the content shared in this tweet is controversial and potentially misleading with regard to participating in an election or other civic process," the short message service said.
Because who will be the winner of the

US election 2020: Social media with warning for reporting Trump
The social network
Facebook also
responded to
Trump's
claims and provided his reports with indications that the votes would continue to be counted.
Likewise on
, which belongs to Facebook.
As Facebook itself announced, warnings have started to be issued after
Trump
declared
himself
the winner
too
early.
“The votes will continue to be counted.
The winner of the
2020 presidential election *
has not yet been proclaimed, ”placed the company on both Donald Trump's side and that of its democratic challenger
Joe Biden *
.
This is currently causing a stir with a bizarre mix-up.
We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election.
We will never let them do it.
Votes cannot be cast after the polls are closed!

Facebook and Twitter with warnings: Trump with harsh accusations against Democrats
That the
Democrats will
manipulate the election is not a new accusation from
Donald Trump
.
For months, the
US President
has been trying
to discredit
his challenger
Joe Biden
and to unsettle US citizens.
A prominent example is his claim that postal voting has been manipulated *.
There is also no evidence to support Trump's allegation that the Democrats are stealing victory.
Literally,
Trump
tweeted,
“We're good at it, but they're trying to steal the election.
We will never allow it.
No votes can be cast after the polls have been completed! "
Under the Facebook video of
Donald Trumps
with his live address, it says: "Final results can be different from the first results, as the counting can take days or weeks".
If you click on the note, you will be redirected to the “Voting Information Center” with facts about the
US election
and current results.
The source is the Bipartisan Policy Center, an American think tank.
The battle for US President between Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden has become a head-to-head race.
Trump declares himself the winner: Claims on Facebook continue to be shared
In response to requests from
Spiegel
, Facebook announced that the reach of the posts was not restricted.
Because the posts can still be commented on and shared.
As
Der Spiegel
continues, this sometimes happens with wrong content.
Facebook thus ensures that misleading reports reach fewer users.
Twitter
has chosen a different approach.
If you want to spread the said tweet, in which
Trump makes
his allegation of election theft by the Democrats *, this is not possible as usual.
Because first Twitter generates the request to make the platform a place of reliable information.
Only when you add a comment to the Trump tweet is it possible to retweet your claim.
As the
Frankfurter Allgemeine
reports, the Republicans would accuse social media of political influence and censorship.
Because in the past few months, content that the incumbent US President and his team distributed was provided with a notice.
And according to
Business Insider
, it was already clear before the election to step in should one of the candidates prematurely announce their victory on social media.
US election 2020: Trump's tweet already shared a thousand times - research institute reports
The "Election Integrity Partnership", an American association of research institutions, aims to identify attempts to delegitimize the election results or to prevent people from voting.
With a tweet, they commented
on
Twitter's
approach as follows: Twitter's action effectively stopped the spread of the tweet.
However, it has already been retweeted over 55,000 times and favored over 126,000 times.
This is as much or more reach than most of @real
DonaldTrump's
other tweets
today.
