- mlinksva 4y agoThe article on TorrentFreak is a writeup of a paper, and though the domain maybe screams bias, the writeup is (rightly, as far as I can tell) skeptical that the paper has demonstrated anything about causality, rather showing an association. The paper is at https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/2476613 https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/2476613 in the Balkan Journal of Social Sciences, which I've never heard of but doesn't scream any particular bias to me.
- calibas 4y agoSo? Do you believe all the other places you get information from are unbiased? They aren't, every human being is biased, we're wholly incapable of being truly objective. The best you can hope for are sources who are open and honest about their biases. It's the ones claiming to be "fair and balanced" that you need to watch out for.
- yieldcrv 4y agoHonestly I’ve come full circle on this No conflict = no interest What other organization would talk about the topic interesting to that organization? And even when it comes to paid research, why pretend like someone else was ever going to do the research? “Woah smoking gun guys! The only organization ever interested in this funded a paper!” Yeah sure so put that observation in your back pocket for how much weight you put into it and move on
