Absolutely this. There are real issues worth real discussion, both on this post and their related Apple post. But these are the posts of a conspiracy theorist instead; they don't enable any sort of rational discussion.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoHow is that? All the claims are strictly true. They just carry a moral judgement some people disagree with, and most people don't care about. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's enumeration of facts.
- lazyasciiart 7y agoIt is an incomplete enumeration of facts which presents a biased picture. This is not some kind of novel technique, it's been around for a long time under the name "lying by omission".
- CobrastanJorji 7y agoThere are facts in here, but they're very selective facts. For example, in the "Sabotage" section, it describes how by turning off a server, Google turned a device "into a $300 out-of-warranty brick." Now, it is a fact that the device did cost $300 and it was out-of-warranty, but pointing out that the device is out of warranty without also pointing out that Google offered full refunds for all of the devices is deceptive wording.
- mikejb 7y ago> All the claims are strictly true. They just carry a moral judgement some people disagree with, and most people don't care about. This is a poor standard. For example: > Kim Jong-un is an elected leader It's technically correct, but it does not provide any useful information, and could be classified as heavily misleading. But hey, technically it's true!
- jcranberry 7y agoFacts can be used to deceive or manipulate. It's called cherry picking. The post is guilty of it.
- mda 7y agoExcept that most items are basically horseshit. I am appalled by the FSF's standards.
