Instagram hides false content behind warnings, except for politicians

Pardon my ignorance here but are they not overthinking this a bit? For political or other high profile accounts,when inaccurate facts are stated:<p>- List the facts at dispute and let them know you were nkt able to independently verify the claims and require a response including at least two independent sources backing their statement.<p>- Of course they&#x27;ll reply with bogus (independent ) sources but the point is this allows a warning like &quot;&lt;platform name&gt; found incorrect statements made on thid AD. The advertiser had responded stating their reasons and sources backing their claims. Click &lt;here&gt; to view the contested facts, why we found them inaccurate and the advertisers response.&quot;<p>It&#x27;s not a generic warning saying the ad is a lie. The advertisers can only complain so much about impartiality since at the end of the day not only was their ad allowed but the users are left deciding who is correct, the platform or the advertiser? If they are a legitimate opposing political party they can also use their special account to contest facts made by their opposition and a similar warning can be shown on the opposition&#x27;s ad stating how an opposing party contested specific statements and what the platform&#x27;s fact finders think and why. And of course charge them extra for having special accounts.
