Adding to that their plans to engage in fining people for "misinformation" [1][2] They back-peddled but I would not be surprised to see them take another stab at it.

- tifik 3y agoI would put "misinformation" into quotes, because iirc the policy was written so vaguely that it basically allowed them to fine you for whatever they disagreed with.
- LinuxBender 3y agoAgreed, I should have caught that. [Fixed] That is one of the reasons I terminated my account of 20 years without hesitation.
- ajkdhcb2 3y agoIsnt that what misinformation always means?
- wizzwizz4 3y agoNo. Some organisations go to great lengths to try to narrow down what counts as "misinformation". But it's tricky: the campaigns they're trying to protect against are usually politically-motivated, and international regional politics is a fast-changing field, and any policy you put in place will be immediately gamed. It's like SEO, but with more lying.
