The fact is u/Evspra found George news is reposting things and what is much,much more suspecious - using extreme leftist owned infrastructure.
So u/italianrose : I guess banning it was maybe quite much,but as some info cannot be just marked as "probably not legit" by mods,mods are banning.
Should they ban whole things in such situation ? I am not mod luckily,so I don't have to argue about shortcomings of infrastructure we have here...
The fact IS: George News should not be so trusted it was.
Was choice about banning it apropriate ? I don't know.
From one side I deeply believe in free speech and suspect that banning them fully might generate problems because they should be researched still,but treated mostly like possible enemy disinformation. And as I know about disinformation a bit u/Evspra and we all shall remember one thing:
Arresting or killing proved enemy agent is last resort and worst choice counter-intelligence can do - done usually if other ways are closed. Having identified source of disinformation and observing it knowing who is it is quite good thing.
If George news is not reliable then we were able (or able still) to get some intel about their purposes if we will verify,verify and verify things they post,because such influence operation directed in us could give valuable clues about our enemies goals and plans about manipulating us.
From another side: We know they are probably not reliable. Despite having many visitors we not have enough willing manpower to research all things. And we have no marking for marking doubtful information automatically or by mods decision, so mods have to ban in most cases or those thing will be indistinguishable from more reliable research, able to cause problems. Probably more problems than trying to do counter-intelligence is worth.
Well... probably so well like you and me are peer reviewed really. :(
Your point. But weak one nevertheless...
Nobody does it probably.There are no list of proved/busted things, no list of theories with people responsible for mentioning it...
Fact it not exist is harmful for those who invigilate GA.win,but also for us all as well.
I doubt George News would be critical for Q operation however. Moreover: they tried to silence evspra after asking those question,and banned other people trying this as well. Ignoring him was not so dangerous if they had nothing to hide,and were not caring about profits or viewership.
Moreover. u/Evspra was doing heavy fantastic job as the mod. All things he claimed about George News were confirmed also by other users. So while it could be dangerous to have some deeply conspired enemy mole as mod, I doubt it is possible such person serving deep state would be u/Evspra, especially doubt about u/Evspra and his claims about George news being proof of such thing.Sorry, but your insinuations about u/Evspra are unfair, and even your approach looks more and more suspicious,as you were one of the users who were promoting George news quite long time ago.

Have you peer reviewed EVSPRA?
