Often overlooked is that Twitter’s factcheck being employed while allowing 45* to continually violate their Terms of Service with incitements to violence happening almost every day. People I know who have posted less angry and far less visible tweets have been suspended for greater or lessor periods, unlike BoneSpurs. He gets treated with kid gloves, and still they cry their bitter tears of victimhood.
The problem wouldn’t exist if people were smart enough not to read or write on twitter. I’ll blame Trump for his insane tweets and blame anyone who reads them and pays attention to them. It’s a story of criminal and enablers.
In (ahem) fact… it is very difficult if not impossible to fact check millyuns and millyuns of user-generated posts. Certainly not on the fly. But it’s possible to train an AI to look for patterns (not just patterns of lies) and have the AI send potentially false posts to a human… with a report saying why. And to then mark such posts, or obscure them, remove them, etc. Even though it’s not possible to get all of them. Google, for instance, does a very adequate job of sequestering spam emails (dozens per day for my ancient email account which has been around long enough to attract much spam).

If they blocked all tweets that were lies, there would the White House would never get one out, though that would hardly be a loss.
Keep up the deflection Mikey.

Ramirez of course misses the broader issue that HIS GUY is the reason for this entire issue.
No other politician has ever lied so often as to warrant everything he says to come with warning labels.
Think about that.

Once again, Ramirez demonstrates the awesome intelligence of the Trump Disciple.

No, not all of them, just the ones that have a provable history of massive lies.

tRump’s base doesn’t care what he tweets, as if facts matter to them.

If Mr. Dorsey has a bird brain, then Mr. Trump has an entire flock; flighty and tending to soil where they roost.

Do Americans want the truth or do they want their biases confirmed (whether true or not)?

I, for one, applaud twitter’s efforts.

I guess someone is itching because Twitter found the balls to fact-check someone’s EGREGIOUS lies…

Ramirez is afraid that someone will start fact checking his lies.
