It's a double standard if Joe Sixpack can sign up for an account and claim the moon is hollow and made of cheese without it getting flagged

Maybe if Twitter decided all verified accounts will be subject to fact-checking?

That’s a prudential argument against twitter fact checking, but it’s not a legal argument.

I guess that’s the truth to power bit - Joe Sixpack isn’t powerful and nor are most verified accounts imo, the President is.
