Facebook and Twitter on early Wednesday warned social media users that President Donald Trump's claims regarding the election results are potentially misleading, including his claim that he had won the election.
After the president falsely claimed in a speech around 2:30 a.m. ET that he had won the race and baselessly alleged fraud on the behalf of his opponents, Facebook labeled a video feed featuring those comments. With votes still being counted, no clear winner has been determined at this time.
"Final results may be different from initial vote counts, as ballot counting will continue for days or weeks. Source: Bipartisan Policy Center."
The company also displayed a post on the top of the Facebook News Feed with clarity about the results: "The winner of the 2020 US President Election has not been projected yet. See the latest vote counts and know what to expect as the process continues."
