"Stolen Election" narrative is going to be hard to dial back without broad censorship

From NYT tech columnist. Problem is, stories are accurate. Later in thread, concedes that articles 'aren't strictly false,' but encourage a 'stolen election narrative that is going to be hard to dial back.' Rationale for broad censorship.

Facebook is absolutely teeming with right-wing misinformation right now. These are all among the 10 most-engaged URLs on the platform over the last 24 hours (per @NewsWhip data)

A Newsmax video full of debunked voter fraud conspiracy theories (dead people voting, poll watchers barred, software glitches) is the 3rd most-shared post of the past three days. 15 million views, 345,000 shares.

Many of the top-performing voter fraud claims have labels IDing Biden as the winner. But some (like the Newsmax video) don't. And it's not clear that labels are doing much. 6 of the top 10 most-engaged posts from US pages in the past 24h are from Trump, including 4 with labels.

The tricky thing, for Facebook, is that some of the most viral stories aren't strictly false. (Perdue + Loeffler did call for the SOS's resignation.) But they are feeding a stolen election narrative that is going to be hard to dial back.
