Today’s edition of The Fulcrum, an online news service dedicated to “a better democracy,” featured this lead we think will be of interest to those follow EnCiv’s work:

“Four weeks out from Election Day, social media’s two biggest players are taking extra measures so neither presidential candidate can claim premature victory. Facebook will block political ads from a week before Election Day until whenever the winner of Trump vs. Biden is beyond doubt. Twitter doesn’t allow political ads anymore, but it will monitor content to call out election misinformation and efforts at voter intimidation.”

We’ll continue to monitor The Fulcrum and pass on relevant content.  Or you can subscribe to its RS feed.  It’s free.
