It's an enormous stretch to call delicate speech about my personal convictions "misinformation". Anyway, my only intent is to help people, not add to the conflict. It's just that I believe the police have dropped all pretense of sharing that goal of helping people.
- austincheney 6y agoNot at all, and that’s not how other people will see it. It all comes down to intention and objectivity. Misinformation is the resultant product of people putting their personal opinions ahead of ethics and evidence regardless of what those opinions are.
- _hplx 6y agoI have no interest in sowing misinformation to support my beliefs, if that's what you're worried about. Otherwise I still don't really understand your point.
- austincheney 6y agoI don’t doubt that your goals are noble, but a lot (most) of misinformation is from well intentioned people positing their biases over objectivity. You will be contributing to misinformation if your goal is to induce a personal bias and you wish to suppress disclosure of your goals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivity_(science) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectivity_(science)
