How is this tweet disputed? It’s a fact

Anything can be disputed. You say your name is John? I don’t know if that’s true. Now your claim is disputed by me, even if I am just being a retard. It’s just that simple.

Twitter uses the word "disputed" instead of "debunked" because disputed is meaningless, and can’t be used in a libel case. Yet, to the masses, they see it as synonymous with "debunked."
