      It's very hard to tell what causes the most damage. GMO crops can save countles people from starvation, and it's very hard to run counterfactuals about what would or wouldn't happen without them in a given place. Same with the ? of the exact causal effect of vaccine misinfohttps://twitter.com/jbrenner2000/status/1487480454198476804 …

      Young's anti- GMO silliness =/= the platform JoeR gives to anti-vaxers =/= some Nazi saying the Holocaust was a lie & or a good thing =/= pedo advocacy I don't think the gov should shut down any of these, but private platforms & their viewers have the right to pick and choose

      Isn't the pandemic still going on? Aren't thousands of people dying from it every day? Haven't nearly a million Americans died from Covid? Spreading false information in that situation is different than making false & refutable claims during normal political times.

      Jeet, your outlet referenced the "attempted murder" of Jacob Blake, said he was 'unarmed,' and said the people Rittenhouse shot were 'unarmed.' Such misinfo surely contributed to $1b - $2b in rioting and dozens of deaths. Deplatform The Nation or just these authors?pic.twitter.com/JkOOw7dXLR

      Weird what about-isms since the crucial point that medical misinformation in the midst of a pandemic is different than other types of misinformation.

          Okay, so in your view we'll have a panel decide which sorts of misinformation are okay, and why, and this panel will decide that The Nation's misinformation -- largely delivered while people were being killed and blocks burned down in rioting -- isn't severe enough?

          I think you and I have a very different understanding of what causes people to riot.

          When exactly was it that saying "what aboutism" turned into an excuse for not being held accountable for hypocrisy?

          What aboutism just means identifying the inconsistency of the applicant's position demonstrating there is no principle that is being followed, merely opportunism. In that respect this "whataboutism" is extremely revealing about your arguments (and credibility)

          Please just trust me that whatever definition of unacceptable misinformation I propose will never be misappropriated to attack my political adversaries said the most disingenuous person ever.

          Oh embarrassing for you Jeet, you’ve misapplied the term “what about-ism” to what is actually the more complex “Goose-and- Gander-ism”, which is what is actually going on here.
