For selected topic of public interest, we may issue corrective warning and/or amend the thread title.
Frequent starters of fake news will be banned.
For Breaking News that we allow to stay in EDMW for a couple of days, these are often developing stories which are ripe for misinformation / disinformation, please read whatever with a big pinch of salt, and please also share responsibly,
We allow the platform for discussion of breaking news, which by definition are often unverified and often speculative, so
please exercise some common sense and do not come to the moderating teams with strange request like verifying whether the president of Ukraine is in Kiev, we are not the CIA and CIA themselves may not know. Just because an opinion is implausible and illogical doesn't equate to being fake news or misinformation. Point out the unlikelihood of the scenario or provide a credible news source to counter instead of throwing a casual insult or label, else you will be warned and banned.
