>label these so people aren't manipulated by it is something that deserves praise.
Except for all the purposefully manipulative things they allow on their platform and don't label or attempt to debunk.
You could say they're targeting the biggest problem first, but twitter isn't going to touch politician's tweets or the mainstream news en mass. If you're worried about the average twitter users' critical thinking skills, don't you think those important-sounding sources of information should be THE key targets of a anti-misleading or anti-manipulative campaigns?
