The headline is misleading. This makes it sound like anything that's misleading is banned which is false. They are banning very specific things that are veritably false like spreading fake election rules, spreading false election dates, etc.
These things have happened:
>The Trump campaign has sent Facebook advertisements to tens of thousands of voters in swing states, erroneously telling them it was election day after the social media group’s ad blockers failed to detect messages that violated its rules on misinformation
Is the election date a matter of opinion? I don't think that lying about what day is election day is protected speech- its malicious and attacks the very foundation of Democracy.
