2023-06-21 19:47:19 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

Despite representations made here, this is not how tort law works. "Production of a hazard" & "failure of due diligence against that hazard" are not terms of art used in US law. Defamation against a public figure/entity such as Musk/Starlink has a very high bar. See e.g.; https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF11291#:~:text=What%20Is%20Tort%20Law%3F,person's%20wrongful%20or%20injurious%20actions. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/diligence#:~:text=Diligence%20is%20the%20opposite%20of,care%20in%20common%20law%20systems. https://www.pbs.org/standards/media-law-101/defamation/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1671584228117553174

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
