It seems like we have no ideal choices here. Clearly we can't just sit back and let fake news / propaganda go viral and eventually determine the course of civilization. Curating is a very broad term, it can mean anything between h

That wasn't really my question. Of course if you never post on social media, the answer is easy, so let me rephrase: If you were an active social media user and became a victim, would you refrain from posting about it just because you

> I never said a lack of proof necessitated falsity. You did call them hoaxes, which is pretty much the same thing. Maybe the problem is that you think everyday racism is as unlikely as the existence of God?

I think it's more nuanced than that. Lack of proof doesn't necessarily make reports false. I wouldn't report every low-threshold hate speech incident to the police, nor do I think it's reasonable to expect every personal

Thanks for the link. This seems to be a mix of straight-out fakes, misunderstandings, inaccuracies, missing police reports (not necessarily a proof for anything) etc. Is there an analyses that goes a bit further, maybe looking at the top X

I'm not even sure what you're asking me to google. "The big SJW conspiracy"? So there was a black women falsely reporting a crime, cool. How does that show that "almost all of these stories are fake"?

There's no reason to think that the number of reports about low-threshold hate speech and similar incidents on social media and the number of incidents on FBI record should be the same. They can be vastly different and still true for w
