Pro tip: If you want to have a constructive adult discussion, don't lede with "You're wrong."
And for the record, you don't just vet source, you vet the information itself. If it can't be confirmed and you act anyway...well that is by defintion child's play.
If children - *in adult bodies* - want to play in traffic on Twitter, it's not Tw's job to police them, or change their diapers when they shat their pants.
Who's wrong now??
- tonetheman 4y agoYup yup. I should not have lead with you are wrong. But the blue check mark is really how most people (myself included) decide if a source is real on twitter. And that was destroyed this week by someone who apparently does not actually understand how twitter works. So assuming a lot of people also trust that check mark and now what should be a good reliable source of information gave out something that is false. It was clearly part of it. Was that the only reason the stock dropped? Probably not. The stock market is effectively random and only barely involved in reality.
