To students: identifying your sources - and knowing what information is trustworthy - is vital in the Internet environment. Mistakes happen particularly if you write about foreign jurisdictions. And they can happen to the best of us. /1
Amongst the news items it carries: How PCR tests can work like asbestos or how covid vaccines destroy your immune system. So.... not the type of website that will reliable report about a judgment on covid stuff to say the least.
I have been extremely hesitant lately with quote tweets or with pointing out errors. But I think it’s important to point out this mistake because 1) these things can happen 2) we have to think about how we prevent such things and 3) the blogpost is wrong and needs correction
For my LL.M. Students the lesson remains: you have colleagues from all jurisdictions. E-mail them and ask for help when trying to understand a judgment from their jurisdiction and you do not have the context.
Note that once a conspiracy theory item has crossed over into a serious sources (such as this human rights blog) it WILL be taken over by others and inform their judgment. I have seen experts I hold in high regard retweeting this. And our worldview will be successfully distorted.
Just about 6 typos in this thread. I really need a new keyboard for my IPad...
