Is there any doubt we are witnessing the collapse of the US? At least for a generation or so....

No doubt at all (the whole world seeing it) and it will be crazy fast if nothing changes in November.

note to mods: I know there is an existing article on the front page about Trump's reaction to the fact check, but I think the specific target of Twitter's head of site integrity is a significant development worthy of a new post, instead of this being considered a dupe!

Unfortunately, I saw a fair amount of users here gleefully sharing said person's twitter. Rather than address the issue with twitter or make a stronger argument, they'd rather paint a target and start a witch hunt themselves.

Of course, the irony of claiming that this fact check is censorship while they go out of their way to harass and censor an individual I hope isn't lost on anyone.

It's not just some random person. He's the "Head of Site Integrity" and “leads the teams responsible for developing and enforcing Twitter’s rules”

This person has some of the most despicable tweets himself - not just about 50% of the population as well as transphobic tweets.

It's like saying we can't link to Jack Dorsey's tweet.
