If somebody with a blue check mark on Twitter commits a crime, is Twitter responsible?


No, because apparently it's in the public interest that it be seen. See https://www.thedailybeast.com/twitter-we-cant-block-trump-be...


In your example, did the twitter platform enable the crime? Did the twitter user in your example pay to use the twitter platform that enabled the crime?

Is it okay that a search engine looks like malware sometimes? You'd think that Google would want to wipe its ass.
