I agree, but strategically speaking, why on earth didn’t they also fact check a Democrat too? It was obvious that dude was going to rile up his supporters against “Big Tech” by pretending conservatives are discriminated against. Placing a fact check on both sides would have stemmed that argument and we wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with
Because no Democrats have tweeted batshit crazy nonsense, lol. That’s why. Trump is going after all of social media now, smh.
Good point 😂
You don’t want to fact check a president during a heated political campaign. It’s a super high risk low reward situation for Twitter. He’s going to be able to say that social media and California liberals are working against him and get his base excited. Tv ads aren’t fact checked, are they? Important politicians should be exempt from fact checking
Dumb take
This was the dumbest thing I’ve ever read about this haha. You 100% fact check a president, ESPECIALLY if he spits some unsubstantiated claim to only prop up his re-election campaign. Come on facebook 🤡
this is dangerous
no it’s not
How exactly is it dangerous to fact check a POTUS? He should certainly be held to a higher standard than the guy selling MDMA behind Arby’s
Trump doesn’t, lol. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/28/us/politics/trump-executive-order-social-media.html?referringSource=articleShare
Who is fact checking the fact checkers?
😂😂 here we go. Ain't gonna lie, you have a point here. But let's be real, they can only do so much 😂
Us.
Twitter is a Utility so same laws should be applied to it. Selective Bias is not good for USA 🇺🇸
It's not a utility at all
Platform or publisher, really happy they are picking publisher as that will make easy to shut them down.
I just want them to do what they think is best for their profit margins and not try to be a wokeporation. If they think that fact checking is a good investment they should go for it.
Even "fact" is questionable
No. It's literally not questionable.
Good point. These are not “fact checkers.” Twitter is technically employing “opinion checkers.” We are dealing mostly with opinions and perspectives. Not established facts. If they were established facts, almost no one would be concerned.
"Should a small amount of politically active people decide what the truth is?"
No, I believe lies should be spread far and wide.
Hahaha
