Malinformation: The Category That Made True Facts a Threat
·974 words·5 mins
The Virality Project defined an internal category called ‘malinformation’: factually accurate information that could cause vaccine hesitancy. Classified as actionable content: a VAERS PDF, a New York Times article on thrombocytopenia, true reports of AstraZeneca blood clots, a New York school closed after adverse event reports. This is not content moderation. This is the suppression of true information — documented in the project’s own records.
