The amount of disinformation shared in online forums is utterly disheartening. I follow it daily in war forums, where people just shoot off dishonestly to whip up righteous fury, and have zero interest in checking their assumptions. (Many are also just plants.)

Now, with the Moscow incident, I've also been watching similarly self-serving conspiracies run ahead of and against actual data. Sheer gamification of atrocity.

Guys, I really wonder about this whole "internet commons" thing sometimes.
