It’d be easy to remove this post for a violation of Rule 3’s requirement on high-quality sources, but this is textbook leopards, so we’ll work around it.

Pinning this comment so everyone has easy access to the ACLU’s press release about this lawsuit which is likely to be a much better source. Here’s a Charlotte Observer article about the attack. And here’s the Newsweek article quoting MS NOW about the regret.

Maybe I should have a canned explanation for how trash the IBT is as a source, but as a proxy for that: we don’t use it as much as we reasonably can on Wikipedia (a source which, funnily, I’ve seen the IBT cite for claims not about Wikipedia).

Your comment is more work than merely removing the submission, but I, for one, highly appreciate it. I get to see the story and better sources. <3

Same! I feel like it’s a group effort sometimes to verify a source.

Sometimes, I see a post on social media, notice there’s not enough conversation, and so I bookmark it. A few hours later, it’s gone.

I have no idea if it was taken down because of fake news, taken down because the OP decided to remove it, or my tinfoil hat of The Gubberment overreaching.
