On Wednesday, a worrisome trend started to pick up on Twitter in the form of accounts tweeting alleged Hillary Clinton campaign ads, designed to look like her real tweets, telling people that they can avoid waiting in line because they can vote by text message. The story picked up steam with this tweet, which also protested Twitter’s refusal to remove the offending posts.

Twitter just informed me that attempting to disenfranchise voters is not a violation of their Terms of Service. @jack @Support pic.twitter.com/YXVdt8sHwA
