    Study Shows Election Misinformation Dropped 73 Percent After Trump's Twitter Suspension

    It was a good thing, to permanently take Trump off of Twitter and other media platforms?!!

    A new study has found that misinformation regarding election fraud has dropped 73 percent ever since that glorious day when Twitter permanently suspended Donald Trump's account.

    According to the Washington Post, the research firm Zignal Labs made this determination by looking at the number of tweets discussing election fraud after Trump lost his primary means of spreading baseless theories about his defeat to Joe Biden. What was once 2.5 million mentions plummeted to nearly 688,000, subsequently making Twitter just a slightly less volatile medium.
