Gell-Mann amnesia. I don't think they lying; they are probably being selectively quoted and the article written to be as click-baity as possible.

  Quoting is visible after you've clicked, so doesn't bait. Not sure how amnesia would explain anything either. > I don't think they lying You can't have it both ways, either the spokesperson explicitly saying it's due to database gives the real reason or a made-up reason, in the latter case he's lying

    The database might be a minor reason. Or major reason. Perhaps the quoted person is not an expert. Maybe he's incompetent. Lying is not required.

      Minor reason is still real, as is major, and you said there are no other reasons besides made up safety. Ang why do you need to be an expert here? but I see you can deny even the much more basic fact that ' isn't punctuation...

        Made up? Omitting punctuation from signs predates computers by decades.

            e.g.?
