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?

SW has the right to delete any posts or prohibit any content they like, as a private company. However, it would be opening a can of worms to delete content selectively, even though some of it is very obviously fake news, and can be dangerous. It is better for readers to counter such content with facts, and let readers decide for themselves.

@windinhishair Reasonable thinking.
