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?

I see where you are coming from the trouble is who decides if something is fake news or not. You've said people are deliberately posting misinterpretations of the opposite party, politicians and news outlets have been doing that forever, based on their own views and agendas. Heck even scientists do it lol

It's an impossible line to draw but I think you're right in that it needs to be drawn somewhere

@TopCat Something is fake when there is clear and objective evidence to the contrary.
