   https://www.thecgo.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Moderating-Misinformation-Final.pdf this study is a total joke and is purely a tool for propaganda as a "LOOK THIS STUDY SAYS WHAT I ALREADY BELIEVE SO I'M RIGHT" sort of thing

     Maybe they really don't care about the truth, and ONLY care about what the current status quo says is the truth. They might actually be perfect mandarins.

     > When misinformation is permissible, all the gains from introducing a platform are erased, and group outcomes are worse than the scenario in which there is no social media platform at all
     
     BULLSHIT
     
     this is ONLY IN THE WAY MEASURED by having a particular fact believed.
     
     there is A HUGE AMOUNT of value in communication between large groups via social media and this study completely ignores it

     I want to be super clear about this too
     
     because it's probably pro-vaxxers who are sharing this uncritically
