Facebook’s new voter information center gives Americans fact-checked voting information
Aug 13, 2020 51 secs

The company’s new Voter Information Center is a hub on both Facebook and Instagram that will give you an easy way to check if you’re registered to vote.

The Voter Information Center will include information about how to vote — including how to vote by mail, if it’s an option where you live.

But Facebook has stopped short of actually fact-checking or removing the misleading information that President Trump has shared on its platform about mail-in voting, something it has been sharply criticized for.

Last month, Facebook started adding links to voter information underneath politicians’ posts about voting, and says it will start applying that label to all users’ posts about voting going forward.

Today’s launch of the Voter Information Center is Zuckerberg showing he’s serious about his commitment to encourage people to vote, but it remains to be seen if that will be enough to counterbalance the politicians who use his platform to spread messages that encourage the very opposite to the 190 million Facebook users in the US
