And which don't. I'm not a Twitter member, so I know I can't read anything beyond the original tweet. Once I open their DU OP, I just delete or don't bother with going further. It's not a big deal. I haven't been on FB in forever, I don't bother with any posts labeled FB. Maybe folks who are Only linking to Twitter, could say in their header, *Twitter link only * . Or, *Clickbait Headline Only*, *Disinformation Campaign In Progress*. I would love that! 😄😄😄
