Why are uninvestigated Twitter allegations still being reposted to HN and upvoted, causing distraction and confusion?
- klyrs 6y agoI think such cases are interesting. One result is that the allegation got investigated here: HN isn't just regurgitating the news, its readers are making news. Sometimes, misinformation is the result of an honest confusion. Better to discuss it out in the open, than cover it up. The other result is that it's a teaching moment for people who have incomplete understanding of related licensing issues.
