In the long run that would be a good thing. It would be an object lesson that investors shouldn't believe anything they read on social media.

Investors always have the option to ignore rumors.

But investors also need to be quick to react if they want to make (serious) money. Ignoring a tweet from a verified account about a disastrous event is not reasonable at all in 99.9% of cases.

What I'm trying to say is, you might be able to discredit Twitter, but you won't fix investors trying to invest ahead of the news.

Bullshit. By many measures Warren Buffett is the most successful investor of our time. He is famous for being slow to react, and he has made some serious money. So I think you don't understand investing.

And if some investors lose money then so what? That is an acceptable outcome. Let them suffer, I have zero sympathy.
