Zooming in on the commentary on Facebook/Twitter's approaches to Trump's post, I just want to say that in my opinion, Twitter did the right thing in this case and also in the previous case of misinformation about mail-in voting. We need to innovate in terms of how we keep democracies healthy, given the dramatic change to the flow of information caused by social media and the internet. Adding a "get the truth" notice to posts that contain misinformation is a great way to strike a balance between censoring misinformation and letting it spread unchecked, and this approach is an interesting new tool in the toolkit we have for keeping conversations healthy on the internet. I applaud Twitter for their work in developing and experimenting with this tool. Likewise, limiting the viral spread of posts that threaten violence (by preventing likes and retweets) is also a useful tool. It's interesting to note that the reason this post wasn't removed entirely is because public figures like Trump get a "newsworthiness" exception in Twitter's Code of Conduct that allows them to essentially say whatever they want, even if it violates the CoC.
