Terminology

The term "disinformation" implies they are knowingly making false claims. There doesn't seem to be sufficient evidence for this in the article. Partofthemachine (talk) 23:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The reference of “disinformation group” is an opinion and not factually substantiated, therefore should be removed. The article would have to in detail discuss and explain with facts and without prejudice every claim and act of the group to illustrate that it is in fact a “disinformation group”. The correct statement would be that it is an “activist group opposing COVID vaccination and mandates” as that is the extent to what the article is able to factually support. 2604:3D08:5A83:8300:68DB:3A4A:E467:61B7 (talk) 20:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. Wikipedia is based on reliable sources. They say it is disinformation, therefore so do we. We don't do WP:FALSEBALANCE. --Hob Gadling (talk) 20:21, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that you should be willing to highlight some of the specific claims and how those claims are false before concluding it’s a disinformation group. Shouldn’t you give people the information and then let them draw a conclusion rather than draw a conclusion yourself and hide the specific information? 2A00:23C4:2DB6:AB01:CCC8:D5B8:9F8E:AAC2 (talk) 19:43, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove protected status of page

Why is this a protected wiki page? I imagine there are many people with different information and insight into the group and it’s claims, why not let others contribute? 2A00:23C4:2DB6:AB01:CCC8:D5B8:9F8E:AAC2 (talk) 19:45, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
