That is an interesting counterexample. I apologize for perhaps not being clear.
My question is specifically how would you (the person I'm responding to) would react to a hypothetical New York Times opinion piece stating that PornHub in particular and no other hypothetical website, has never had illegal content or child sex exploitation material knowingly or unknowingly. I'm not asking in broad terms, I'm asking about what your response would be to this individual article.
I am not asking about trees or apples or cancer. I'm asking about a specific instance of your reasoning in regard to this single subject. Just the one single hypothetical question with a very narrow scope.
- anotherman554 6y agoI don't know how anyone could know that nothing illegal had ever been posted on a web site, proving a negative appears to be impossible. The hypothetical article writer would not appear to be trustworthy who hypothetically wrote that.
- newbie789 6y agoSo either way, no one should believe anything written in an opinion piece, even if for example an impartial third party like Mastercard is able to verify it to the extent that they found the information actionable enough to suspend business relations. I genuinely do not understand the position of "it could be fiction, and therefore should be treated as fiction even if it's found to be true simply because the section it's in is often populated with bad writers"
