Soooo many ways to go …

Q: I’m curious what the basis might be for the justification of being able to “label” a short statement such as a tweet?
No context …. no argument …

Is it on the basis that the statement being labeled presents opposition to:

1) some authority
2) being able to continue clinging tenaciously to a strongly felt, long held belief
3) what is deemed “fashionable” to hold

if so, good luck with those arguments.
