And if users try to share content that Twitter has flagged as false, a notice will warn them that they are about to share inaccurate information.
Why would you ever allow someone to share something that's been flagged as false? I mean, shouldn't the behavior be that you get an error message saying sorry this is false and you're not allowed to spread falsehoods? And shouldn't that be the behavior all the time not just right around the election?

Justice Neil Gorsuch told Google's lawyer that Apple and other companies have "come up with phones that work just fine without engaging in this kind of copying."
It seems to me that Apple has not chosen to use Java, and thus has not been sued by Oracle. Instead of implementing their own version of Java, they've implemented their own version of C called Objective C, and created the Swift Interpreter on top of that. The original authors of the C programming language have not chosen to sue Apple. Yet.
