@EU_Commission OOK OK c'est bien beau tout ça .... mais comment on fait pour savoir :
✔️ WHO is behind it?
✔️ WHAT is the source?
✔️ WHERE did it come from?
✔️ WHY are you sharing it?
✔️ WHEN was it published?
C'est bien de distiller vos conseils mais dites nous comment les mettre en pratique au moins . Merci
@EU_Commission These factors are relevant in determining authenticity, but other factors are also relevant, such as independent verification.
We need stronger methods of verification than which side the source is on, otherwise no one can defend themselves against false accusations when it doesn't fit the expected narrative.
@EU_Commission
WHY is important as a first consideration. If you're sharing it because your reaction is "OMG! That's scary!" before you think to check the source, you've just been socially engineered.
@EU_Commission I see information came from Trump. But eventually I realize it came from senator Lindsay, who cosplays senator McCain. And Trump doesn't even like McCain
@EU_Commission
Like my grandpa used to say: "The truth is like an ass. Every person has its own".
So, about who's truth you're writing and fighting? Yours only? Mine? Or perhaps my neighbor one? 🤣😂
@EU_Commission regarding point 3: I really wish, people would add proper source attribution more often.
I'm concerned, that people seem to belief, a link to a Twitter or Reddit post is enough. That may be convenient ("will get me favs", "fits my personal opinion" ...). But seems unfair to both, the actual source of the info and the audience here in the Fediverse.
