"Sigh... No, what I objected to was YOU demanding that YOU be told who said something so YOU could judge whether they were qualified enough to have an idea, an idea about which YOU couldn't be bothered to read the links given even though doing so would provide the answer YOU so cared about. However, YOU know what this thread also is not about: YOU"
When I asked the question there were no links. You also put words into my mouth, e.g.,
"Wait, you're the one saying that the source makes all the difference, which is the logical fallacy."
I didn't say what you claimed I did. That's putting words into another persons mouth. All I was asking for is the source of the information, which is completely reasonable and definitely the first step in any investigation. For some reason you flamed me about that and now try to claim it's all about me, and then you write:
"It may be worth noting that this is an Opinion piece and that study regarding the suppression of info on WeChat is neither directly named nor linked to. Some might say Fake News, but it's not even purporting to be news. Be nice to know their sources!"
Wow. I wonder why you would like to know their sources? Maybe it's because you want to know where the information is coming from?
