Not all misinformation can equally be quarantined, and not all misinformation has a time sensitive effect as being near an election. So no, it is not reasonable to expect that all misinformation be treated the same before one can act on a specific instance.

That would be a good point if Twitter/Facebook had once quarantined so-called misinformation about Trump. As far as I know, that has never happened. Not a single time. It seems fairly obvious to anyone paying attention that their actions were politically-motivated and have been for quite some time.

  What's a good example of this misinformation? Oh, and Trump is a serial liar who has spread really damaging lies via twitter ... numerous times.

    Curious if any downvoters believe the President isn’t a serial liar?

How did they treat the “suckers and losers” story? What about the (criminally) leaked tax returns? What about the Melania phone call that was leaked by a “friend”? And last time around, how did they handle the claims that were leaked from the Steele dossier? The problem is that this sort of censorship is almost impossible to apply fairly. When your workforce is dominated by one political viewpoint, you are inevitably going to be biased in a way that a “platform” should not be.
