New York (CNN Business) After President Donald Trump posted an unfounded claim to Facebook (FB) on Tuesday that mail-in voting could lead to a "corrupt election," the social network slapped a label on it. The response is part of Facebook's new policy, announced by CEO Mark Zuckerberg last month , to label posts about the November election. In recent days, Facebook has placed the same label beneath a mix of posts from Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, including one from the former vice president calling to "vote Donald Trump out this November" that does not make any factual assertions about voting. The labeling began rolling out over the last few days, according to Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone. (Twitter flagged these posts by the President.)
