Perspective: Fact-checking Trump won’t fix Twitter’s misinformation problem
Twitter is neither qualified nor capable of deciding which content on its platform deserves correction, and its inevitably patchwork approach will just fuel the victim complex of those it does correct and make Twitter appear selective and partisan.
There is, however, another way. Rather than picking and choosing particular tweets for attention — and thereby seeming to cater to the whims of the social media mob rather than getting ahead of it — Twitter could implement a simple, automated source-neutral approach. This would entail attaching informational tags to any tweet that includes particular hot button topics.
