        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twitter this week said that it will expand its crackdown on on misinformation surrounding the election and mail-in voting.</p><p>The social network — which made waves in May when it <strong>added a fact-check label</strong> to a tweet from President Trump claiming that mail-in ballots are &#8220;substantially fraudulent&#8221; — will also increase its efforts on getting users registered for mail-in and early voting, <strong>according to Politico</strong>.</p><p>Twitter did not go into detail about what the new policies might look like, but said they will be focused on &#8220;empowering every eligible person to register and vote through partnerships, tools and new policies that emphasize accurate information about all available options to vote, including by mail and early voting.”</p><p>“Twitter is working hard to increase informed participation in democratic processes around the world,” Jessica Herrera-Flanican, Twitter&#8217;s VP for public policy said in a statement.</p><p>Jack Dorsey, the company&#8217;s CEO, said in an appearance on &#8220;The Daily&#8221; podcast last week that Twitter will &#8220;continue to evolve our policy to protect the integrity of the conversation around elections.&#8221;</p><p>That includes, he said, suspending any accounts that might engage in &#8220;particular egregious aspects of violations of the terms of service,&#8221; even if it belongs to the President of the United States.</p><p>&#8220;We won’t hesitate to take action on the accounts and use every tool that we have together with that,&#8221; Dorsey said.</p><p>&#8220;Independent of the US president or any leader around the world, we will take action if we feel it’s necessary.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
