they didn't police anything; the guy's tweet got posted without any sort of gatekeeping

they didn't edit anything; it was very clear what he posted and it was his exact words as written. there weren't even any dark ui patterns to make it look like the fact check was part of what he said.

Maybe they’ll do the same for their advertisers too? Maybe they’ll fact check UBI? Etc...
