> Attaching a facts check link is suddenly something requiring regulation? Perhaps in fascist dictatorships where the mighty dictator uses the repressive power of the state to shield himself from any oversight. No, it would require deregulation if some law of Congress had made twitter not liable for the content. Under common law, without interference by statute, twitter is responsible for anything they publish. And independent of legality, I personally do think it's questionable for sites dependent on user generated content to do 'fact-checking'. It's like... you're a publishing platform. What's next my DNS registrar reading my website and modifying my DNS entries to point to a fact-checking blog? If Trump paid twitter would it be different?
