> More context about a tweet, including “tweets that call it out as obviously fake,” could help people “make judgments for themselves,” Dorsey said.

Yeah, I'm sure Dorsey envisions the surrounding tweets gently explaining what a parody account is, or that something isn't factually supported - but the reality is going to be that every tweet will be surrounded by a buzzing cloud of nazi-gnats, gnashing their teeth about crisis actors and virtue signaling.

I agree the far-right stuff is a huge problem but one of the other reasons I deleted my account was the sheer amount of militant pro-LGBTQ+ people on there. Don't get me wrong, it's a cause I support, but some of their supporters aren't really promoting the community in a positive light and Twitter seems to be the platform of choice for people with extreme views on both sides.

I doubt you'll get right-wing stuff, this looks like it will be handpicked by some human, and only enabled for tweets they deem too controversial. i.e. Alex Jones says something, and then some human at Twitter HQ slaps a CNN tweet and a Snopes article next to the tweet without any permission from Alex Jones.

But in truth I don't really care if they want to shove tweets from nazis or communists or liberals or potato salads in my face. I only want to see what I follow. Is that too much to ask for?

try "some algorithm". Twitter would never be able to hire enough people to hand curate that.

As I said above, I believe this will be some kind of emergency measure to discredit handpicked tweets that have an enormous amount of retweets or made by specific users with an enormous amount of followers. It doesn't matter if it doesn't scale because it won't be used at scale.

That's definitely not going to be the case. It wouldn't even remotely scale. Heck, Twitter don't even have staff that speak many languages.
