At this point we rely on our community to flag harmful content. In the long run we want to rely on our community more and more to help us not only flag but also remove content. Hopefully even police departments may be able to play a role here.

To some extent we may not be able to verify every person's statement which does not mean that it is invalid. Instead, we want to ensure that the most accurate and verified content can be surfaced while other content is pushed further down while still having some role to play in the conversation.
