    If you've spread information that proves to be false, should you delete the offending tweet or not?

        @SamHarrisOrg Solution. Take screen dump and put red line over it saying false. Delete original and add new tweet with this edited original.

        @AustraliaToon1 @SamHarrisOrg I was about to say, that's an awful lot to do, but then maybe that's the price for spreading misinformation?

        @SamHarrisOrg not deleting it risks someone _only_ seeing it and not the fix. Which makes the fix sort of useless

        @SamHarrisOrg Delete so people can't retweet -- try to minimize the harm.

        @SamHarrisOrg I think you leave the tweet there and notify anyone significant who is linking to the tweet that you've retracted it.

        .@SamHarrisOrg The *reason* one deletes misinformation is so as not to allow falsehoods to spread further. Hard enough for truth to win.

        @ToKTeacher @DavidDeutschOxf @SamHarrisOrg surely thats the same reason why you'd apologise? An apology can be part of the critique, keep it

        @cm_richards A doctor who spends many years promoting the merits of homeopathy, eventually apologises. Better to delete the misinformation.
