There are some good policies in here, from @Twitter and it’s good to know that there’s one social network that’s actually thinking things through proactively (looking at you, @Facebook and @YouTube), but there are also some concerns:

1) Tweets with misleading information should not be able to be shared period. Why mark something as misleading and then allow it to be amplified across the platform despite the fact that it has already been deemed factually incorrect or somewhat incorrect?
2) Trending topics should be shut down until after the election. Too easy to game for those who want to sow confusion, even with additional context. People don’t care about the context. Twitter is giving people too much credit.
3) As we all know, rules are only as good as enforcement. Social networks like @Twitter tend to only act when called out by journalists and activists. How many people are watching the switch here? How many more mods have they hired for election season? How are decions made?
