      The Internet is and has always been a lie spreading machine. Both on and off social media.

      Your analogy of peeing in the pool is entirely off base. If these were false scientific papers posted to real established scientific journals that would certainly be unacceptable behavior but that’s not what is being discussed here

        That’s binary thinking. Litter on the roadside doesn’t justify calling roads a junkyard and dismissing the idea of cleaning them up, let alone treating littering as social activism because you heard Elon Musk hates litter, or some other misdirected motive.
