Yeah, that's better. Misinformation covers situations like defamation and many kinds of hate speech. Although there still needs to be a solution for stalking and sexual harassment, as long as it doesn't overlap and outlaw protest or deplatforming.

    Misinformation covers situations like defamation and many kinds of hate speech.

    Not really:

    • Misinformation: “false information that is spread, regardless of whether there is intent to mislead.”
    • Disinformation: “deliberately misleading or biased information; manipulated narrative or facts; propaganda.”

    The difference is between "I don't believe you, so you get banned" vs. "I think you're trying to mislead people, so you get banned".

    Misinformation allows banning any information a mod believes to be "false", for whatever reason, no matter the proof.

    (PS: if any mod doesn't agree with these definitions, they could remove this comment based on "misinformation")
