Twitter distributes a lot of dangerous information unchecked. For example, today, thousands of people were tweeting fake or improperly captioned photos related to the horrible events in Minnesota this week.

Just two examples: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/make-whites-great-again-ha...

and https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/police-minnesota-trump-ral...

There were others; blaming people and nations that had nothing to do with this brutal horrible act for aiding and abetting.

Twitter will do nothing about this very harmful behavior. I reported some of the most egregious fake information being tweeted or retweeted and nothing happens.
