Previously, Twitter labels said election fraud claims were “disputed”.
The new labels say, “Election officials have certified Joe Biden as the winner of the US presidential election.”
The new language is now active President Donald Trump’s tweet undermine the election results starting Saturday morning, and will be applied to all future tweets doing the same.
“After certifying the results of the 2020 US presidential election, we updated our label to reflect the latest information,” Twitter spokesman Nick Pacilio told CNN.
The change follows growing criticism from democracy experts who said the labels of social media platforms have not done nearly enough in the post-election period.
While Twitter last month said it labeled about 300,000 tweets for content that was disputed or potentially misleading over a two-week period that spanned the election, critics have said such labels are a bad fit for the deluge of false claims Americans continue to distribute.
