Could you imagine Twitter trying to keep up with all the tweets being posted every minute, making sure it is all valid news? They would have to place a delay between the user pressing "send" and the post appearing for others to see.<br /><br />That is ridiculous to expect any company to try and do on that sort of scale.<br /><br />It is up to the users, consisting of the people making the posts or tweets and the people reading them, to uphold integrity. Cite sources, research material, and build credibility if you are posting.
