Forget about the free speech albatross. To me, what Twitter is doing looks like a clear case of election interference. They are basically giving free ads to the opposition of Trump. He tweets something, they annotate it with a link to media sources that are heavily biased toward the democrats.

Will they be giving the same treatment to @joebiden? He has been known to lie and plagiarize throughout his political career.

Who qualifies as a reliable source for fact checking? I see links to sources like CBS and CNN, neither of which are known as bastions of truth, and both of which have failed many fact checks themselves, in recent memory.

I'll be sure to look for the DNC ads on Fox, if they're not told they're unwelcome.

Or pro-choice messaged ads in conservative religious publications.

Hey, Fox could even agree to run Trump ads for free.

None of those things are election interference.
