I would love to make this argument the next time vaccines are mentioned. Remember vaccines cause autism and turn the frogs gay. Any attempt to correct this using medical jargon or methods is literally out of scope for the average hacker news commenter and should be avoided.
- mrtksn 5y agoFor legal process we need to have Apple, Google and others provide us with their documents and arguments - which is not happening. We can't even have well educated guess as these things need cooperating parties or enforcement power to obtain. On the other hand, when discussing vaccines and viruses there are numerous research in the open that we can use to build on. Any use of correct medical jargon or methods is fine as it is not a protected information. Of course you can misunderstand it but you can also understand it properly since the research and data is in the open. Discussing what's just based on information and observations we have is like discussing vaccines and viruses based on the research and observations we have access to. Discussing the legal process is like discussing the FDA application of a drug. It can happen only if you are part of the process or after it comes to a conclusion and information used in the ruling is made public.
