It matters.

I bet they employ several thousand Trumpkins. And as dense as those people are, you have to figure on at least one bright idea from the whole rotten bunch once in a while.

All these yowls about "fake news" - shit, HE'S the one GENERATING the fake news, and if he's not generating it personally, he's endorsing, praising, and amplifying the shit being generated by other assholes.

But they must because people/entities are using their platform to foment revolution, plan terror attacks, de-stabilize governments!

Facebook is too successful and too powerful... It needs to be regulated... It's too easily manipulated by people with unscrupulous motives and it must be regulated. OR IT MUST BE SHUT DOWN...

showing a scam Facebook post? That would seem to be Twitter's problem and not Facebook (except that I would think that Facebook could take legal action for misappropriating their style).

Anyway Twitter should be able to track to origin. Also they should be able to send a correction and warning to every account still open that received it.

Maybe an attorney would take the case pro bono. Enough is enough.
