Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, which is what happened here, will result in misinformation about these basic things being used to suppress votes from being cast.
- remarkEon 4y agoThis sentiment, and this thread, is bordering on unintelligible. Is Twitter such critical election infrastructure now that if it’s trending information is not perfect the provenance of the election is now in question? If so, how long has Twitter been this important? Would elections function without it? How much “misinformation” is enough for the election to be suspect? Is this concern simply limited to what’s on Twitter itself and not, ya know, out in the citizenry?
