Do you think the admin of SimilarWorlds should remove posts that are fake news?

In particular, some people have sometimes posted misinformation about COVID-19, and this can be lethal if others believe it.

Some people here seem to be campaigners for particular sides in politics.
At least one is regularly posting lies and deliberately constructed misinterpretations of the opposition party.

Twitter and Facebook are having to realise the responsibility they bare for the viral transmission of false information and it's sometimes disastrous consequences.

Isn't it time that SW admin recognised its own duty of care concerning false info?

It's unfortunate that we live in times where misinformation is king.

I often think those who post opinion as fact ought to have the b*lls to at least qualify it with a source reference.

That way everybody's better informed and you can check the validity of the statement and argue to the contrary if need be.

Be an awful lot of work to ask administration to check and verify.

@Picklebobble2 Couldn't agree more. But I think it's part of their job to regulate content here.

Perhaps, flagging such content might help highlight those posts to them.

@Vivaci I'm sure it would, but they don't have a category for false or misleading information.
