least Twitter can do is sensitize their moderators, or at least a subset of them, about local issues, maybe not to the level of making them regional experts, but enough so that they can tell a truth from a lie, a dangerous maligning campaign vs a fair critique. I dont think that is a hard problem.

How can you tell a truth from a lie in politics? You can certainly find the position you agree with and hire those guys and claim its always the truth, I guess. Unless you actually somehow know who the Indian secret services are paying. I certainly don't, even if I don't believe that this author is guilty of being a spy. This is judgment calls that a low paid Twitter moderator cannot make with any confidence.

It's not just a hard problem. It's an intractable problem.
