Good to know, thanks for sharing. I didn't know about this,. It shows that is really hard to be correctly informed without dedicating an extra effort on many steps of the privacy way.
What was the comment? That the source is untrustworthy? Why was it removed?
Says rule 1 in the modlog.
Didn’t seem like it was bigoted, but the comment claimed the news source was pro-Iran and pro Syria or something with a Wikipedia link as evidence.
My comment was just advising people to be media-literate and consider the source, though I also said that this in itself doesn't make the article questionable (I actually think it's quite credible). And I linked to Wikipedia's article about this news website. I wasn't trying to defend Israel or be controversial, and it was a bit of a surprise to see this get deleted.
