Benny on @Jack: Twitter is now “Fact Checking” the President’s Tweets

This “fact checking” move by Twitter has just changed the landscape in an important respect - I think someone above on this thread pondered something along these lines ...
but as I read what’s just happened - unless Twitter has deployed some algorithm that now “fact checks” every post by every user and does the same thing and in a way that is unbiased + universal, etc., then they have just removed any pretense that Twitter is a “publisher” - which opens them up to all kinds of prosecutorial and civil actions.
TBD + WWG1WGA :)
