For many of the kinds of things that get labeled, I'm having some trouble figuring out how you would label both viewpoints.

If X says that the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines are made using aborted fetal tissue and Y says that they are not, and I want to label X as false, what label should I put on Y to label the other viewpoint?

Don't label them seems like the obvious answer here. Twitter and Facebook simply can't be trusted to be arbiters of truth.

Isnt it opinion like any other then? Just from someone with better platform. You dont need to be general arbiter of truth ro be like "wait, election law is actually different".

Just like Trump have better platform then me.
