And just a few sentences away from declaring war.

If someone took over Trump's twitter and detailed how bombers were in-route to take out North Korea's nuclear capability, would Kim Jong Un wait for independent confirmation before he launched his missile(s)?

Isn't it terribly irresponsible then to allow a service that's subject to such issues become the main form of communication for a government?

That's a compliance/governance issue. Working for a financial services utility in risk management, I would be shocked if any startup can do this properly.
