- DowsingSpoon 5y agoYour argument doesn’t make the point you think it does. If someone maliciously placed convincing fake road signs on the road then they could easily cause severe injury or death. This would be a serious problem, not to be taken lightly.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoThe vast majority of 'anti-disinformation' campaigns are not restricted to, or even concentrated around, the scenario you have given.

- depaya 5y agoAre you trying to imply this was a lie or misinformation? Conditions continue to evolve, as do recommendations by experts. The President of the US is listening to experts.

- CamperBob2 5y agoNeither did calling out Biden for doing the right thing based on the best info available to him. The person I responded to has clearly chosen his path. All too often, that path leads to abusing veterinary supplies... and telling the world how awesome it is to do so.
- bmarquez 5y ago> All too often, that path leads to abusing veterinary supplies... and telling the world how awesome it is to do so. The grandparent poster listed an example of election day incorrect information, the person you responded to listed an example of a politician stating incorrect information. Whether it's a good example or not is highly debatable but ad hominem style attacks don't help your argument.
- CamperBob2 5y agoIt wasn't a good example. It was a terrible one that can't be cited in good faith.

- btdmaster 5y agoI was looking through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_day and almost half of it had a [citation needed] tag, so I guess you could call it that?

- oceanplexian 5y agoWhat would you call someone who distributes and prints “Get out the vote” flyers with polling locations to certain communities and demographics but not others? Or, let’s say a social network like Facebook sends one group of voters reminders to vote but not others? Selectively spreading correct information can still be malicious.

- pessimizer 5y agoA country that doesn't adequately inform their citizens when it's holding an election, so they can easily be mislead by fliers. Maybe make it a holiday.
