More importantly, as always, SPD is NOT the main supplier of new AfD voters.
Most new AfD voters did not vote in 2021 (not only first voters!).
Right-wing parties CDU and FDP were main suppliers.
Despite hype, BSW took virtually nothing from AfD.

Very interesting to look at the age distribution in the exit poll. The SPD which already did very poorly with young voters last time continues to loose further there - a party of pensioners. Interestingly, also huge losses for the Greens among young voters and massive gains for the Linke.

Meta Moves to End Fact-Checking Program
The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes or corrections to posts. It is likely to please the Trump administration.
