Well they have the platform, so they have the power. But more substantively: by applying universal norms such as "lying is wrong" they don't have to make moral judgments, just factual evaluations.

What if the truth of a statement takes 6 months to suss out?

Wouldn't practicality dictate we err on the side of caution, meaning the statement is allowed before it's blocked?

Because the alternative situation is, something that NEEDS to get out never does only because it takes so long to prove.
