The Social media platform Facebook to add election winners labels

In an apparent response to Trump’s unfounded allegations of electoral fraud, Facebook has said it will add labels with the projected winner as calculated by reputable news sources.

“While several states continue to count votes, we wanted to share a reminder of the steps we’ll take to provide reliable information across our products once there is a projected presidential winner,” the social media giant said in a statement.

As an example, it showed a label carrying the name of a (fictional) projected winner attached to a false claim of victory.
