The incorrect reporting and update is newsworthy; but the article as it existed is problematic to have as a primary source on a search result.
There should be some way of annotating the contents are deprecated and referencing another hyperlink which explains the currently known facts. This link might be to a court case for an authoritative result of non-conviction / assumed innocence.
- williamscales 6y agoWhat is incorrect about the reporting? And why should the contents be considered deprecated? A sealed court case is not linkable.
- fennecfoxen 6y agoThe existence of a sealed court case doesn't mean that there's been justice, either, particularly where international diplomats have been involved.
- colinmhayes 6y agoThe reporting isn't incorrect though? They shoudln'tve revealed his name, but he did have an accusation against him.
- mjevans 6y agoIt's incorrect in the sense of the summary or what someone who only saw the initial version might draw as a conclusion. Further the update mentions this initial version was _historically_ (Edit: from sometime after publication in 1996 and not updated until 2008!!!) left online and indexed by search engines well past when followups should have updated it with conclusions about that case. Hence it is 'incorrect' to present this article in a cursory search result, but it is correct to produce it as a link in relation to more specific searches, or better, to instead of this page, any designated URL link when a hit would point to this page.
