So saying true things is bad now?
- dotancohen 2y agoSaying true things has always been bad when done with bad intentions. Implying that "coordinating through encrypted apps" is a property of "far-right ideologies" is a clear attempt to smear the usage of encrypted apps, assuming that the reader already has a negative association with "far-right ideologies".
- gverrilla 2y agoIt was not implied it's a "property of far right", at all. All it's saying is "no lives matter" coordinate not in public networks.
- llamaimperative 2y agoI didn’t read it that way at all.
- dialup_sounds 2y agoI don't think that's clear at all. You're both assuming "bad intentions" on the part of the author and that other readers are apt to make an association that you yourself wouldn't make. But for the sake of curiosity: How would you rephrase the same facts to not be a smear?
