On Wednesday, the newspaper published an article containing allegations about the Democratic presidential nominee and his son Hunter, which it sourced from emails retrieved from a laptop left at a Delaware repair shop. The story “is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners,” tweeted policy communications manager Andy Stone, adding that distribution would be limited until that was complete, per the platform’s “standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation.” Twitter users also reported being unable to post a link to the story, with a pop-up stating it had been identified by the firm or its partners “as being potentially harmful.” (The Logic)
