I wonder how deep the economic analysis will go to decide that a tweet needs "context"? For example, if an administration (cough) touts that this year's economic growth has been among the highest in a decade and that an increase in spending is "paid for", but that's just because a last year's index point was in the toilet because of a pandemic and we're getting back to where we were before... Who decides whether that's context-worthy?

Twitter could take the same approach that TV took, and has abandoned, long ago: each side gets equal air time to present their opinion. If a twit comes from a blue politician, the red team gets to respond, and vice versa.

  That assumes that every issue has only two sides, and that both sides are equally valid, and that blue and red politicians fall neatly on either side.

    > and that blue and red politicians fall neatly on either side. With hyper polarization, I don’t think this is much of a concern. It was stunning to me how few people realized that if I saw you in a mask at the grocery store last year, I could also with high accuracy determine your thoughts on Kyle Rittenhouse or abortion.
